Starting a single-family rental portfolio can be a great introduction into the world of real estate investing – but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. There is a big difference between buying a single-family property as a fix-and-flip and one purchased as a rental. There is a lot to keep track of when you invest in a single-family property for cashflow; from finding a good deal to finding and managing tenants.

Often, as you’re starting your single-family rental portfolio, you will be managing those first few properties yourself. Many first-time investors are not a natural fit as landlords and it requires thinking about your investment portfolio as a business – and running it as such.

Our guest this week, Augie Byllott, learned the hard way how to manage his single-family rental portfolio.

Augie and his wife became landlords by default. After getting married and buying a house together, they turned their respective homes into rental properties, never intending management of their rental investment to be their main focus. However, they quickly realized that single-family rentals don’t just manage themselves and that (surprise, surprise) tenants don’t always have the landlord’s best interests at heart.
