Landlord Starter Guide: How to survive as a landlord in the age of COVID-19

This is the #1 guide to avoiding predatory/professional tenants and becoming a successful landlord. It also encompasses the best practices moving forward during the age of COVID-19. COVID-19 is affecting evictions, inspections and residential and commercial tenancies to an extent never before seen in our lifetimes. Written by an eviction lawyer and landlord with over 15 years of experience, these are tips and guidelines from the trenches that you will not find elsewhere. They have been earned through the blood, sweat and tears of landlords who have been to eviction tribunals and court.

The landlord guides currently on the market focus near exclusively on management advice for landlords (things like tracking your expenses, advertising your vacancies or managing maintenance) . This book touches on those elements of being a landlord, but its real value is in showing you how to avoid predatory/professional tenants and prepare ahead of time for possible evictions. One predatory/professional tenant can cost a landlord far, far more than negligent maintenance routines or vacancies! Yet there is a paucity of guidance on how to avoid these professional tenants or, once you find yourself as a landlord to them, managing a successfully eviction while minimizing the damage to your asset. The #1 risk to your real estate investment is not going to be vacancies, it's going to be bad tenants. That is the primary strength of this invaluable quick read.
