What the kitchen faucet taught me about how to keep great tenants

As a small investor focused primarily on single-family home investing, I stay very close to my business and the issues that come up with the tenants.

From time to time in this blog, I will share a story or two from my business and tenant relationships that I hope might help you in your real estate investing business.

So here is one that just came up with my tenants

I got a call last night from Jake – we’ll call him Jake for purposes of this blog – who handles the majority of the maintenance on my rental properties.My property manager usually just asks Jake to call me when a tenant reports a problem that involves a repair.

I often cringe when Jake calls because I know there is always a cost involved. So the less I hear from Jake, generally the better.
