The Five Main Reasons Many Rental

Properties Become Mismanaged

From my experiences buying mismanaged rental properties, I have found that

incompetent ownership is the number one reason that rental properties end up

being mismanaged. This incompetence has a snowball effect and is the direct result

of the owner 's:

1. Lack of knowledge about the local rental market, which results in rental units

being rented at below-market rental rates: This produces a breakeven cash

f low, which is barely enough to pay for maintenance and debt service when

the property is at 100 percent occupancy. Any vacancy causes cash flow

problems that must be covered by the property owner.

2. Lack of knowledge and professional property management skills necessary to

screen and select qualified tenant applicants as customers: This results in tenants

who will not or cannot pay their rent on time and creates a negative

cash f low, which the owner must subsidize from personal funds in order to

keep the mortgage or deed of trust loan current.

3. Failure to respond to tenants' routine maintenance requests in a timely manner:

This causes tenant turnover and vacancies, which increases the negative

cash f low that the owner must subsidize in order to maintain the property

and pay the debt service.

4. Failure to perform routine maintenance, which results in a neglected, rundown-

looking rental property, with thousands of dollars worth of deferred

maintenance: This type of property appeals only to a class of tenants known

universally as tenants from hell, who are notorious for not paying their rent

and being malicious vandals.

5. Failure to initiate eviction lawsuits against the nonpaying tenants from hell:

This results in the property being taken over by the tenants from hell, which

usually ends with the lender foreclosing on the mortgage or deed of trust

loan because the owner is broke from subsidizing the negative cash f low and

has filed a bankruptcy petition.
