In this episode, Chris and Eli dive into the real-life process of taking over management of a rental property — and all the unexpected headaches that come with it. Whether you're buying a property or inheriting it from another manager, there are a ton of moving parts: bank accounts, leases, software setups, vendor relationships, tenant communication, and (of course) maintenance.
Chris walks through his real-life experience transitioning into management of a 15-unit property and breaks down the behind-the-scenes stress, mistakes to avoid, and systems to get in place before things go sideways.
Listen now and set yourself up for a smoother rental transition!
