Hi Folks,
Hope all is well on your end.
At times, real estate investing can be a lot of fun and very fulfilling. This is of course when things are going well. On the flip side, real estate investing can be very worrisome. During these tough tiimes, you wonder to yourself, if it makes any sense to contine investing.
There is one important lesson that I have learned over the years as s real estate investor. This lesson is to ‘treat your tenants with respect’.
For some of us, being respectful to others comes easy. Whereas for others, it is a bit of a challenge.
I will give you a quick breakdown of some of the things you need to do in order to show your tenants respect.
1) Speak to them politely
Don’t be aggressive with your tone. If you do, they will be aggressive right back to you. If you speak to them in a good manner, chances are that they will return the favour to you.
2) Respond to them promptly
If your tenant contacts you, return their call, text or email quickly. It is your job to ensure that everything in their home (your rental property) is in good order. If your tenant is contacting you and it is not in regards to paying rent, there is a high probability that it will be in regards to a maintenance issue in the property. Respond to them quickly.
These are 2 simple things that you can do in order to show your tenant respect.
If you treat your tenants with respect, you will have fewer problems as a landlord.
Best Regards,
Neil Uttamsingh.
