“Most landlords don’t lose money on bad tenants…
They lose money on poor maintenance.
Here’s the truth:
If you don’t maintain your property, your property will maintain your problems.
Smart investors do this:
✔ Inspect their property every 6 months
✔ Fix small issues before they become big expenses
✔ Budget 5–10% of rental income for maintenance
Property is not passive income…
It’s managed income.
