Summary

Dwan discusses her practice of taking photos of her tenants in each room of the house at the beginning of their lease on this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever. By taking these photos, you are protecting yourself and holding your tenants accountable for any damage they create at the property while they are living there. This is the proof you need if they insist that hole in the wall was there when they moved in, much like car rental companies do an initial assessment of the state of the car with the client before and after they rent it.

While things like this seem to be intimidating for new landlords, these kinds of measures protect you and allow you to create the wealth you need in order to pay off your rental properties as soon as possible and become a successful retired landlord.

  • 17:22 – The lesson for this week is to have your tenants write the date on a piece of paper and then stand with the paper in the corner of each room of the property while you take pictures of them. These pictures will be their accountability when it comes to any damage that is done while they are living there.
