Managing rentals brings all kinds of headaches, but trespassers and squatters are definitely the most painful. Fortunately, these scam artists usually prefer an easy target. So with a handful of best practices, you can shut down most attempts before they start. This guide covers what signs to watch for, how to discourage would-be squatters, and the protocols that keep your units secure—without ruining lead flow.

If you manage multiple rentals, you know just how quickly keeping listings up to date can eat up your entire week.

Leasing calls tend to show up at the most inconvenient times for property managers—during dinner, in the middle of showings, even on weekends when you’re off the clock. Buy what if we said you never had to answer a leasing call again?

Every landlord wants a unicorn renter who pays on time, takes care of the place, and maybe even shovels the snow without being asked. But before you can get more leads , you’ve got to get through the tenant pre-qualifying process—a place many landlords burn more time and energy than necessary.
