When it comes to rental properties, many new investors think the only path to freedom is owning dozens of doors. But the truth? You don’t need 20, 30, or 100 properties to reach your goals. In fact, the average landlord in the U.S. owns about 5 properties — and that’s often enough to cover their retirement needs or even retire early. 🏡💰 Here’s why: ✅ Fewer properties = easier management ✅ More focused cash flow per property ✅ Better quality control and tenant relationships ✅ More time freedom, less stress The key isn’t quantity. It’s acquiring solid, cash-flowing assets and managing them well. 💡 Ask yourself: What’s YOUR personal freedom number? How many properties do you actually need to reach your goals? 👇 Comment below with your thoughts — and invite a friend who needs to hear this before they burn out chasing “more doors.” #TheREITribe #FinancialFreedom #SmartInvesting #RealEstateTips

Just a reminder that the PRIMARY job of insurance companies is to take money from your escrow every 6 months and do everything in their might to not pay you out when a claim has been submitted. They are not always right and you can use AI tools to call them out. My property is currently under construction and can be considered “vacant,” I had a thief that broke in and caused $24,000 in damages. I filed an insurance claim and it was denied because they “don’t cover vacant properties.” I sent the policy to chatgpt and chatgpt caught a loophole where they say “vacant homes that are currently under construction are not considered vacant.” I went ahead and submitted an appeal, they didn’t reply nor were not picking up my phone calls. I was ignored for almost 2 months. Ok cool, guess we going to do it the hard way. I filed a complaint to the states insurance administration and called a lawyer last week through LegalShield to send out a letter on my behalf. And LO AND BEHOLD… my first contact ever since my appeal 2 months ago… got an email this month saying the check is on its way. So lesson learned, these insurance companies will try you hoping you don’t challenge them. Don’t budge yall!

As of late I’ve been seeing more and more potential tenants applying for units but submitting fake paystubs, so I thought I’d take some time to drop a few tips and tricks. As property managers and landlords, we all strive to find the best tenants for our properties. However, one concerning trend that has emerged is the submission of fake pay stubs by potential tenants. It’s essential to stay vigilant and informed to safeguard our investments and maintain the integrity of our rental spaces. Red Flags to Identify Fake Pay Stubs: 1. **Inconsistent Formatting:** Genuine pay stubs usually have a consistent format. If you notice discrepancies in font, spacing, or layout, it could be a sign of forgery. 2. **Unrealistic Income Figures:** If the reported income seems unusually high for the tenant's employment type or location, it warrants further investigation. Cross-reference the income with the tenant’s job title and industry standards. 3. **Missing Information:** Authentic pay stubs typically include the employer's name, address, and contact information. If any of this critical information is missing, it's a potential red flag. 4. **Incorrect Tax Deductions:** Pay stubs should show appropriate tax deductions based on the employee's income. If the deductions seem disproportionately low or absent, it raises suspicion. 5. **Poor Quality or Blurry Images:** If the submitted pay stub is of low quality or appears blurry, it might have been altered or created using basic software. The Importance of Diligence: While it might be tempting to quickly process applications to fill vacancies, thorough vetting is crucial. Taking the time to verify income and employment can save you from potential issues down the line, including: - **Delayed Rent Payments:** Tenants who misrepresent their financial situation may struggle to pay rent on time, impacting your cash flow. - **Legal Complications:** Accepting a tenant based on fraudulent documentation can lead to legal disputes and costly evictions.
