I<\/span>\u00a0hate to break it to you, but if it’s a traditional landlord\/tenant situation you\u00a0can’t.<\/span><\/h1>\n

I got my start in the Real Estate business through a property management company.\u00a0<\/span>They had 15 buildings and building #8 was way newer and nicer than all the other ones. <\/span><\/h2>\n

Why? Because a tenant created a meth lab in their apartment and the old building #8 burned to the ground.<\/span><\/h2>\n

You may have noticed that you haven’t been receiving a lot of emails from Andy lately.<\/span>

He’s been dealing with a very stressful eviction and lawsuit from a certain rental tenant.<\/span>

This traditional, qualified rental tenant created a meth lab in Andy’s property (it’s a common thing in central Texas apparently) resulting in the SWAT team busting down the door and arresting her.<\/span>

Due to the fact that cooking meth is a violation of Andy’s lease, the damages, and the missing payments due to being in jail, this tenant was evicted with her deposit held.<\/span>

Said tenant is now suing Andy for thousands of dollars because he held her deposit.<\/span>

So how could this have been prevented with the traditional “leasing” arrangement??<\/span><\/p>\n

IT\u00a0<\/span>COULDN’T<\/span><\/h3>\n

The truth is that once someone qualifies for a traditional lease and moves into the property, they can pretty much do whatever they want with the property!<\/span>

Now despite the stories you just heard, “Meth Cooking” is not a typical issue. More commonly though, you could have squatters, smokers, unauthorized tenants, unauthorized pets, unreported maintenance issues, and the most common reason for an eviction – non-paying tenants.<\/span>

You may have noticed that we don’t have as many nightmare stories about Group Homes.<\/span>

Besides generating way more dough & getting guaranteed checks from Uncle Sam, one of the biggest advantages of Group Homes compared to Rental properties is that<\/span><\/p>\n

YOU HAVE\u00a0<\/span>WAY<\/span>\u00a0MORE CONTROL OVER YOUR PROPERTY<\/span><\/h3>\n

A traditional, qualified tenant would never sign a “License Agreement” (included with\u00a0OUR 10-PART COURSE<\/a>) granting the owner the right to kick them out whenever a house rule is broken. Not “Evict”. KICK OUT. Think Hotels<\/span>
