Expert Tenant Cons - How Do They Operate?

Author: Lambert Munz

Eviction is a slow process that gives tenants anywhere from thirty days to four months of free living while the courts walk through the legal steps. Most of the time, the tenant leaves in the middle of the night, right before the final hearing. Even though the landlord gets a judgment, it becomes a useless piece of paper. In order to collect the landlord must track the suddenly invisible tenant, find any assets or locate the place of employment.

New right to privacy laws make tracking difficult. After all, where does the tenant go, now that they no longer live under the evicting landlord's roof free, like an adopted wayward adult child?
There are two types of evicted tenants. The first is seriously down on their luck, maybe the tenant lost a job, had a family crisis or severe illness. Regardless of the reason, they have no experience living life without an income. This type of person pays as much as they can, but it never is enough to make a full month's rent. When eviction time comes, they move in with a friend or family, live in their car or find a location in a vagrant village or homeless shelter.

The second class of evicted tenants is the professional deadbeat. They not only know the system, they perfect their use of it like a fine art form. This group has a job when they move into the rental, they have plenty of cash in their hand and they pay on the spot. Their last landlord sounded sincere when you called, gave them rave reviews and had a sound reason that the two parted ways. They had adequate experience on the job, working for a small company for several years. Sometimes this might not be the real income source. These may not be legitimate people or real jobs. They are friends and family that pose and give false information.

The second class of evicted tenants never leave the previous landlord on the application, because they were evicted for past due payments. They make it their profession to move every seven months. The pattern is clear, two months payment in advance as a deposit and the first month's payment. The second month comes a little slow and into the third month a partial payment is made. Eventually the well dries up and the landlord dips into the deposit. The tenant lived at the rental long enough to use the deposit and remain four months in arrears. They move right before the enforced eviction. In the mean time, they saved enough cash to move to the next unsuspecting landlord that doesn't have access to their history and begin the scenario again.

How does this happen? Most landlords are individuals, not companies or corporations with access to all the background information and credit reporting. These are "mom and pop landlords" that want to believe the person that so convincingly tells the tale. They have no weaponry against the professional deadbeat that hones the story to perfection.

The wayward tenants usually find that the individual managing their own property is an easy mark and they know what to say to make the situation appealing.
Without a thorough background check by a professional, the landlord loses valuable time and money with these professional cons. They have the cash and the hungry landlord can't resist the temptation to move them in now. Especially, if they have been suffering a long term vacancy.
These pros don't call property manager ads, but purposely look for ads without agent identification. The law requires that an agent Identify themselves in an ad If not by a company logo than with the word - Agent.
My eviction attorney informs me that he evicts the majority of the people are the same ones over and over again
Be careful out there.

Why pricing a rental property correctly is so critical

Author: Jay Myers

One of the most critical aspects of leasing a rental property is pricing it correctly. Too low, then you revenue is not what it could be. But an overpriced rental property can cause far worse situations.

How much does a simple air conditioning service cost? Say $75. How much does a 45 day vacancy cost an owner of a property that should lease at $1400/mo? $2100! A vacancy is normally the biggest expense a landlord faces. Keep the vacancy rate down by advertising at the correct market rate. This is a better way to increase revenue and keep your rental property in good condition.

1. Every week that a property sits vacant, you could have adjusted the price 2% down and made the same amount of money. Over a 5 week period you could have adjusted the price by 10%. Example
*Landlord A lists a rental home on May 1st for $1500 per month. Landlord A leases the rental home on July 1st at $1500 per month.
*Landlord B lists a rental home across the street from Landlord A on May 1st for $1400 per month. Landlord B leases the home on June 1st at $1400 per month.

Which Landlord made more money on his rental home? If you said Landlord B, you were correct. While Landlord B collected $1400 during June, Landlord A sat vacant.

2. Vacant properties can at times, not be safe. 1. Vandalism. 2. A potential water leak in the property could go unattended for a few days and could be disastrous.

3. Example: A rental home sits vacant. Who pays for the utilities? The owner. Who pays for the lawn or pool to be maintained? The owner. Not only are you not having revenue coming in, but you must keep the property in proper rental ready condition. If the property had been leased, the tenant would be responsible for the utilities, lawn and pool care.

4. Most importantly, the "bad tenant" will rent an overpriced property. A well qualified tenant will take the cheaper property because they can. Any owner would rather have the well qualified tenant, right? Example: Both types of tenants view 2 different homes, 1 home at $1500/mo, the other at $1400/mo. For the sake of the example, both tenants want the home listed at $1400/mo. Which one will the landlord choose? Of course, the well qualified tenant. Now the overpriced property's landlord is stuck with a "bad tenant" because all of the good tenants go to the cheaper properties.

5. If you get stuck with a "bad tenant" now..what will it be like a year from now when you want to show the property with this tenant living in the property? It will not show as well because of the condition of the carpet or paint and you will be forced to drop the price. Or even worse, wait til this "bad tenant" moves out and then start advertising, guaranteeing a vacancy. In other words, over pricing your property now, will overall make you less money and could affect how much you get for the property in the future.

About Jay Myers.
I bought my first investment property in 1999 and have enjoyed real estate as a job and a hobby ever since. I now own many investment properties, and through owning these units has helped me understand the shoes that many of our owners are in.
Most agents never sold anything before they became an agent. In sales since 1997, I have really worked hard to develop skills to negotiate the best possible deal for both my clients. I believe this set of skills along with listening to our customers has and will greatly assist in our client's needs.
I enjoy being the Director of Property Management and the manager of our team because of the daily challenges this position entails, each day is definitely different. I think we put together a great team, we all atleast a few things in common.....work hard, get the job done right and listen to our clients and customers in order to improve our services.
Thanks again for choosing Orlando Realty & Property Management by Keller Williams Realty at the Parks as your Central Florida real estate source, and we look forward to working hard for you and with you..........We appreciate your business!
