When a rental sits vacant, landlords lose money every single day. In the past, many investors waited for the “perfect” tenant, but today, many renters who may look risky on paper could end up being great long-term tenants.The challenge for landlords is figuring out how to reduce the risk of a tenant stopping payment or damaging the property.On this bonus episode, we talk to Jamison Theander from TheGuarantors about how landlords can rent properties faster while reducing risk. Jamison explains how TheGuarantors offers a lease guarantee that will pay the rent if a tenant defaults, at no cost to the landlord.We talk about what TheGuarantors looks for when approving tenants, how quickly approvals happen, and why this can help landlords feel more comfortable approving applicants they might normally pass on.We also discuss the different types of coverage available, including protection for missed rent and damage coverage with deposit replacement protection. Jamison explains why this can provide landlords with significantly more protection than a traditional security deposit, how customizable the coverage is, and what the cost looks like for tenants. If you’ve ever struggled with balancing vacancy, tenant quality, and risk, this episode offers a different way to think about screening and protecting your rentals.More info:https://www.theguarantors.comThanks To Our Sponsor:Revenued - Get working capital for your rentals quickly with a line of credit.
Ari Rubin has been investing in rental properties long enough to know that eventually, something is going to go wrong. Really wrong. But despite dealing with nightmare situations that would make a lot of investors quit, Ari says it’s all been worth it.On this episode, Ari shares some of the craziest situations he’s dealt with as a landlord and investor. He talks about a contractor he didn’t hire who broke into one of his properties, demolished the kitchen, and planned to move into the house himself. He also shares the story of a “professional tenant” who moved in and never paid rent, and a property where he spent $60,000 on renovations only to discover a major foundation issue that caused the entire house to shift just six months later.We also talk about a property Ari almost bought that had a dangerously unsafe deck built by the tenant, so bad that contractors didn’t even want to tear it down.Ari shares another unbelievable tenant story involving someone who turned the backyard into a giant litter box.Throughout the episode, Ari explains how he handled these situations, what he learned from them, and why he still believes rental properties are one of the best ways to build wealth despite all the challenges.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode573Thanks To Our Sponsors:Ridge Lending Group - Making the investment mortgage process simple and stress-free.

Davethought he was making the smart move. By paying off several of his rental properties, he figured he’d lower his expenses, boost his cash flow, and simplify his portfolio. But after doing it, he started to feel like he made a mistake.Today, Dave believes he would have been better off keeping the debt and using that money to buy more properties. He shares why he thinks a larger portfolio with leverage could have outperformed a smaller, paid-off portfolio over the long run, and how losing the mortgage interest deduction changed the numbers.On this episode, we break down how Dave paid off his rentals, when the regret set in, and why he’s hesitant to do a cash-out refinance to pull that equity back out. We also talk about the benefits of owning properties free and clear, so you can hear both sides of the argument.We dig into Dave’s portfolio, including his strategy of owning properties in the same neighborhood and how self-managing helps him keep expenses low. He shares his actual numbers, including total rent, expenses, and net income, along with some of the toughest situations he’s faced as a landlord.We also get into whether Dave thinks investors are better off using LLCs, and how he approaches structuring his business.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode572Thanks To Our Sponsors:Revenued - Get working capital for your rentals quickly with a line of credit.Flock Homes - Retire from real estate investing and landlording (whether it’s one problem property or your whole portfolio) through a 721 Exchange.

Greg Hall did what a lot of investors dream about, he scaled fast.In just three years, Greg built a portfolio of more than 100 rental properties, buying mostly single-family homes in a market about three hours from where he lived. His strategy was simple and effective: buy low, renovate smart, and create quality rentals in solid neighborhoods.He wasn’t slapping lipstick on properties, he was turning distressed homes into places good tenants actually wanted to live. On paper, everything worked.But then something happened that most investors never even consider…The city stepped in and started condemning and demolishing his properties.On this episode, we break down how that’s even possible. What triggers something like this? What happens when you still have a mortgage on a property that no longer exists? And most importantly, how can you protect yourself from a situation like this?Greg shares the full story, what went wrong, what he would do differently, and how he bounced back. We also talk about how his investing strategy has evolved today, and how he’s approaching risk in a completely different way.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode570Thanks To Our Sponsors:The Guarantors – Protect your property against losses, rent defaults, vacancies, lease breaks, damages, and more.

Ryan is using a simple but powerful strategy to build his rental portfolio, and it all starts with a HELOC.Instead of going through traditional financing, Ryan uses a line of credit to buy properties, using what appears to be cash. That gives him a huge advantage when making offers. After closing, he funds the renovations with the same credit line, focusing on cosmetic upgrades like flooring, fixtures, and paint to dramatically increase value.Once the property is stabilized, Ryan completes a cash-out refinance, pays off the HELOC, and repeats the process.On this episode, Ryan breaks down the exact system he’s using and explains what he believes are the two key steps to building wealth with real estate.We also get into:How he qualified for his HELOCCreative ways to access lines of credit (even outside of real estate)A full breakdown of one of his dealsPurchase price, rehab costs, rent, and mortgage numbersHow he budgets for expenses and manages riskhttps://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode569Thanks To Our Sponsors:MidSouth HomeBuyers – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis, Little Rock, and Dallas.

On this episode, Tom McGreevy might not sound like your typical landlord. He doesn’t raise rents, doesn’t charge late fees, and even admits he might be “too nice” to his tenants. In fact, Tom says he’d give himself a failing grade as a landlord.But despite that, he’s built a portfolio that generates over $200,000 a year in rental income.Tom breaks down how his strategy actually works. His long-term rentals provide steady, reliable cash flow that covers all of his fixed expenses, giving him a solid financial foundation. Then his Airbnb properties, which are more unpredictable, become the upside and drive his profit. He also shares why having those short-term rentals located three hours away has turned out to be an advantage rather than a drawback.We also talk about the role his W2 job plays in his investing strategy, and how it’s allowed him to take bigger risks without relying on rental income to live.Tom shares how he’s sold properties along the way and how working with a knowledgeable CPA helped him legally avoid a massive tax hit. https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode567Thanks To Our Sponsors:Ridge Lending Group - Making the investment mortgage process simple and stress-free.
