Summary: To mark the release of our 100th Landlord University episode I’m excited to bring a new segment called Landlord Spotlight. In each Landlord Spotlight episode, we’ll be diving into real life landlord experiences straight from the landlords that live it. From newbies to landlords who have managed rentals for years, you’ll hear what’s working for them now and what went horribly wrong. In this first episode, we talk with Randy Harris from Phoenix, Arizona. Randy is a newbie landlord who just began his journey as a landlord within the past 6 months. He manages one rental and walks us through some of his processes, from finding his income property to filling it with his first tenants. If you’re looking for a story of epic failure because Randy’s a newbie, you won’t find it here! This well-prepared landlord did his homework and faced every landlord obstacle with confidence. Listen to Randy share his successful marketing tips and how he handled his first tenant trying to negotiate the monthly rent. Some of the resources mentioned in Randy’s episode: Intuit Payment Network – For online rent collection Postlets – For listing his rental Zillow – For researching market rent prices Landlord University – Turns out Randy listens to our podcast while he’s doing handy-work on his rental! The episode he recommends every landlord listen to is Episode 42 with Mike Simmons of JustStartRealEstate. In this episode, Mike walks us through an actual tenant selection after we review the tenant screening reports on the air. This was one of my favorite episodes, too, Randy!
