What would you do if you had a tenant that has been furloughed because of the government shutdown call to tell you that they don't have the money to pay the rent?  Obviously the choice is up to you, you could deal with the tenant as you would any other person who worked for a civilian employer and was fired, laid off, or the business closed, or you could cut the furloughed federal employee a break.  After all this furloughed employee will soon be back to work and will likely be given back pay for all the furloughed days. It is not like a civilian situation, where they are just out the money, this is more a situation where the paycheck is being temporarily held hostage (if you will), through no fault of the tenant. On the other hand, none of us are guaranteed that the job and income we h... 10/03/2013

Besides working for a property management software company and providing tenant screening I am a real estate investor and I have been searching for local investment opportunities in the housing market since around 2008. In Grants Pass, OR (my locale) the housing market was very near the bottom of the crash by the end of 2009, there were plenty of properties on the market, prices were very negotiable, and the competition was light. Fast forward  to 2011 and the number of houses on the market dropped dramatically, prices were not as negotiable, and most of the time another more aggressive investor would beat me to an offer. Current day 2013 something very different is happening and I think I may have run out of time to find any more properties that are going to pencil as profitable rental... 09/23/2013

Had an AMAZING trip to Maui! We went to Maui for 10 days.  This is the 3rd time I've been to Maui.  I think it's one of my favorite places ever! The people are so full of the Aloha spirit.  Everyone knows just about everyone on the island, and it's all about just living a simpler life. The weather was gorgeous, the air so sweet, and to top it off, I actually played a USTA tennis tournament while I was out there. We stayed in Kihei, which I really like.  The tournament was in Kapalua.  I also discovered Kula with a new tennis buddy of mine.  That is where Oprah has her organic farm. I learned a lot about the tennis community on Maui.  It's quite substantial. I'll have some blog posts coming up soon with pics and hot spots on the island. Aloha!!

I have a friend who has been trying to convince me and my husband to purchase real estate in Las Vegas, NV since the big housing bubble burst.  I enjoy investing in real estate and the potential to get a great deal in an area that has been hit hard, and would have the highest return on investment is enticing but I'm still a little hesitant.I would definitely not be interested in purchasing a fixer upper in another state. I am more inclined to look at newer condos that include landscaping and general exterior grounds keeping although those HOA dues can really eat into your profit.I have listed five possible complications or stumbling blocks that I have thought of that have turned me off of investing in property out of state thus far.  I would love to hear more potential issues or your th... 09/16/2013

I've been a landlord for around 8 years now (kind of a newbie still) and my husband and I manage our properties and our biggest challenge so far (luckily) has been; placing tenants and collecting rent.  The best advice I can give about placing tenants is to absolutely be sure to do a tenant credit check.  Today however I'm going to focus on collecting rent.I know I'm not the only one that gets a nagging feeling when the beginning of the month rolls around.  We pro-rate rents so they are all due on the first, with a 3 day grace period.  There's the select few tenants that pay on the 1st. The remainder tend to push that grace period to the limit and come in on the 3rd or 4th of the month.  The whole time I'm worried if they will be able to pay the rent this month.  If the 5th rolls around... 08/29/2013

Women's Equality Day is a day proclaimed each year by the United States President to commemorate the granting of the vote to women throughout the country on an equal basis with men. Women in the United States were granted the right to vote on August 26, 1920, when the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution was certified. The amendment was first introduced many years earlier in 1878. Every president has published a proclamation for Women's Equality Day since 1971 when legislation was first introduced in Congress. This resolution was passed designating August 26 of each year as Women's Equality Day. So to all of the brilliant female entrepreneurs in our business network, Happy Women's Equality Day!  ---Dulcey is a member of Rentec Direct who provides Property Management Software... 08/26/2013

With access to a multitude of Property Management Software applications screening your tenants is so quick, easy, and affordable why wouldn't you? Many property management and tenant screening companies require a procedure in which they; email the prospective tenant, require them to create an account, answer a series of questions (correctly), before the landlord or property manager can log in to have access to the report. This procedure could take a couple hours, days, or could never happen at all if the tenant doesn't have access to a computer or answers the questions incorrectly. With Rentec Direct you only need to look at the rental application and type in a few details about your prospective tenant (SSN, Name, Address) and you get your report within minutes. Now that is mind blowing... 08/20/2013
