Finding good tenants is the CORE of your business as a landlord.

Tenant screenings gets far less “time consuming” if you take care you your tenants, have near-zero turnover, and have a waitlist of folks who want to live in your properties.

You sound like you are 0 for 3 on those things, so yes, please keep using a realtor to help you place new tenants every year as you burn though the ones you have.

Wrong again. Most of my tenants are long term but there are areas of Boston where there is yearly turnover that’s where a good realtor comes in.

Everyone is always wrong except you.

So it’s kinda weird how you the one who is so bitchy and grumpy…I’d think all of your success would leave you less irritable.

You’re making it seem like being a landlord is the easiest thing to do. It’s not easy when you’re just starting. It’s okay to use a realtor to help with the process.
