Helpful Tips on Management for Landlords!
Show Me The Money!
Savvy landlords need to learn or re-learn how to file evictions AND
collect their $$$ in the coming days. Many landlords know how to get
the judgement, BUT NOT how to get the $$$. Here are 5 quick tips: 1)
You CAN run the credit report of former tenants (who owe you money)
every 6 months to get possible updated information. 2) You SHOULD
record the judgement/usually in abstract form at your local recorder's
office (deeds/weddings, etc). 3) You CAN order the court/judge to order
an EXAMINATION of their assets (they raise their hand and swear in
front of the judge and then you take them into a side room and ask
them questions on their debts AND assets). 4) You SHOULD file a wage
garnishment if they are employed. 5) Recording the judgement if they
have real estate will SURVIVE a Bankruptcy as the judgement is recorded
as a secured judgement and if/when the property is sold or re-financed,
your judgement will get paid off.
INVESTMENT OR HOBBY?
Do you view landlording as a job or as a hobby? Do you view it as a
"true" business? Sometimes, it amazes me to read that more
investors/landlords, than not, stop investing after the purchase of their
property. It's true that most do invest more money afterwards to advertise
the rental unit, do credit checks, ensure curb appeal, and "time" waiting
for that QUALIFIED tenant, but it seems to STOP there! More times than
not new and seasonal landlords feel that any more investing into this
property is over with, but they are wrong.
You invested in the land, the location, the home, the rebuilding/fixing
things up, the advertising and time taken to select the most qualified
tenant. But nothing has been invested in... Learning the rope's office, The
bookkeeping, The laws of your State, The City Ordinances of where your
properties are located, The need to know how to maintain tenants for
long term occupancy, Or how to handle people. It’s like buying a house
but when you walk inside there are no walls, no furniture, but an empty
shell. Sure you can live there, but it’s not going to be easy or fun and
definitely nothing you expected.
So, when do you feel investing in your business ends? The answer is
NEVER! Since beginning this business, I purchase every book I can
possibly buy. Anything I buy for the business is tax deductible. Not every
book out there will answer your questions or give the best advice, but
even if only one paragraph from each book triggered an idea of how to
be better in that business then whatever I paid for the book was worth it.
Eery book always had at least one paragraph in it that gave me an idea!
So every book I purchased was worth it.
Whether you have one property or 1000, because this is a business, you
need a good financial software program. Some people use Excel or other
simple spreadsheets, but they're just ledgers on a computer. It may do the
trick, but it’s not going to generate professional looking reports to give to
your CPA or your tenants or even for yourself, or a new buyer when and if
you decide to sell. Always think of the future. Can someone else figure
out your book work if something happened to you? Once again, how far
will you go?
I have files drawers for Properties, Mortgages, Tenants, Work Orders,
Vendors and Handyman. I have a big file drawer labeled "Michigan Law",
with City Ordinance information for my properties, and Tenant/Landlord
law. I have a file drawer for “Past Tenants”, and a regular check file
drawer for my canceled checks, and one for “Legal Forms”, filled with
Quits, summons & complaint forms, Judgments forms, Default forms,
Health Hazard Forms, Escrow Forms, etc. Everything is labeled and filed
alphabetical so if something happens to me, anyone could come into my
home office and take over in a minute. When one has a good filing
system in place, it is easy to gather evidence together to prove a case in
court or satisfy a disgruntled tenant.
Being well organized enables me to never lose a case and win cases
many people thought I'd never win. It took time and effort to get this
organized, but my time and money to be organized was a very good
investment that has paid for itself many times over. Not only have I won
my landlord/tenant cases but also cases against the City of Detroit and a
utility company.
Whatever I do in this business is an Investment and that includes how
people view you. To make sure courts and tenants and the public view me
Housing News
in a good light, (word of mouth goes along way) I make sure that
everything is done professionally. I always use letterhead using my
company logo which is just a dba name (doing business as). Always
answer your tenants in writing and ask them to do the same. Document
everything you do and what anybody else does! No matter how trivial. I
have an online phone called "Vonage" that tracks incoming and outgoing
calls. (So I have records of calls tenants or vendors or workers have made
to me and I made to them). My phone bills dropped about $100 a month
because I no longer use a land line.
Take photos of everything before a tenant moves in - light bulbs, toilets,
floors, every nook and cranny. If you look at the photos, you see door
knobs, doors, blank walls (freshly painted of course) faucet handles, toilet
handles, etc. But everything I do is an investment and I never view it as
extra work that's imposing on my time, or more money nickle and diming
me to death. Everything I do, every penny I spend, every minute I devote,
is still investing in my property and my business and my future.
Still investing, I go the extra mile in this business. I mail out bills to my
tenants 10 days before their rent is due, for rent that is due, meaning I
am investing more time and money into office supplies. My printer prints
out my envelopes and my letters, using ink. So that’s an investment. I use
Stamps.com to mail everything and that costs money, not to mention the
stamps. I am investing in my "good name" my credibility, to the public, to
the tenants, to my CPA, to a new buyer, to the media! Whatever I do now
reflects my future and what people think of me. But the person I most
want to impress is the Judge. The more professional I am, the more he or
she is impressed and shows respect to me. And that is a very good
investment!
Whenever I hear others say, Oh I'd never bill my tenants for rent that is
due, my tenants know when it’s due. Or that’s a lot of work and costs
money, I think to myself, and wonder, why as an investor, do these
people want to stop investing just because the physical structure has been
purchased or built? Don't they realize that is only part of the investment
process in regards to this business. One must invest in maintaining their
investment by doing things to show you are a business, a professional,
and not just the “typical” landlord as often portrayed by the media and
courts!
So...how much time and money do YOU feel is too much to invest in your
company? Do you think it just stops once the rental unit has been rented?
Or would you go the extra mile to invest a little deeper. I call them the
"hidden investments" (The behind the scenes operations of maintaining
your investments not only for now, but for the future) If something
happened to you, could someone else take over without a problem.
Could your wife? Could your husband? Could a new owner. Maybe
another question to ask would be, "how easy is it for you to find things?
To prove your case? To answer a tenant with facts and proof?
PROTECTING YOURSELF AT THE PROPERTY
While working on properties what do you say or not to say to neighbors
and passers by? Often when rehabbing property, neighbors or passers by
will ask if you are renting or selling the property. If you say you are
renting the property, some might ask to see inside the property. About
95% have good intentions, possibly wanting to rent your property, the
other 5%, often in renter-occupied or low-income areas, may have bad
intentions.
What could be their bad intentions? Seeing what you put into the property
so they can come back later to rip you off. Seeing what tools are on your
jobsite such as a break, table saw, etc. Looking for openings, such as an
old basement door lock or rotted door frame, something that you have
not repaired yet that they can sneak their way in through later. Or worse,
sweet talking their way into your property, then pulling a gun and robbing
you!
How can you know which 5% are the ones up to no good? How can you
prevent them from entering your home? It’s easy... The answer to the
question of ‘are you selling or renting?’ is, “I do not know what the guy is
going to do, I'm just the contractor.” Or “I'm just working on the place.”
You are more likely to attract trouble (even get stuck up) if you’re telling
the whole neighborhood you are the landlord.
