I've Been Featured in The Ultimate Guide of How to Become a Landlord
Thank you Steadily for reaching out and asking me to share my experiences as a landlord. Here’s what I said:
“I bought my first home at a very young age. 4 kids later, my family quickly outgrew that 1200 sqft home. When it was time to upsize, I had a decision to make: keep or sell.
Being located in a military town, it was an easy decision to make it a rental. It was about 90 minutes away from my new home, so I had a management company handle things for me. After years of positive cash flow, I eventually sold that single-family home and used the funds in a 1031 exchange to buy a duplex closer to my new home.
With my new duplex so close to me, I could now manage it myself and increase my monthly cash flow. I became a member of my state landlord association and that has been pivotal in making this new venture a success. They provide leases, updates on landlord-tenant laws, tenant screening, and support. I have a great group of mentors that have helped me make this landlord venture a success. I’m always on the lookout for more rentals and
look forward to being a great landlord/businesswoman for future tenants.”
The whole article is a very thorough rundown of everything you need to know to become a landlord. See the full article —> HERE
