It took me a while to get the hang of being a landlord.
I had never envisioned myself as being the type of man to own property, but after a large inheritance this is where I found myself.
The day-to-day logistics of handling multiple tenants, dealing with their complications, and collecting the rent is all too much for me to handle, so I hire a property supervisor to handle all the details. This is a recent thing for me, because at first I tried to do everything myself with disastrous results. I thought I could save a lot of money by doing some of the handyman job myself, and almost immediately I ruined a perfectly good central Heating and Air Conditioning method by trying to disinfect it. After that I refused to ever touch the Heating and Air Conditioning methods again. If it is anything more advanced than increasing a dirty air filter, or putting modern batteries in the climate control unit then the people I was with and I will call an expert to handle it! I have forged a superb unquestionably working relationship with a local tech named Bob, who recently retired after 25 years in the Heating and Air Conditioning industry. Bob might be retired but he is bored, and he prefers money, so I pay Bob “under the table” to handle any Heating and Air Conditioning emergencies that come up. Since Bob still has his Heating and Air Conditioning certification he is legally allowed to do the work, although our new working arrangement is less than legal. By unquestionably working with such an “outlaw” Heating and Air Conditioning tech instead of a major business I am saving myself ten thousand bucks a year, or more! Bob makes extra money, and I save a lot of money so most people wins.
