I teach what actually works in rentals

[Logan Zylstra @loganzylstra]

I run a boutique property management + brokerage firm on Utah's Wasatch Front.

I post about what actually works in rentals: the numbers, the mistakes, the market most owners never see.

No hype. Follow if that's useful.

Depending on the week, I review 10+ housing applications weekly.

My biggest takeaway:
Please stop taking out $80,000 or more in student loans for degrees that do not increase your earning potential.

@pslohmann When I pay massive trades bills like this, I often question my life choices and what led to property management.

[Logan Zylstra @loganzylstra]

I remember seeing @loganjrankin post that all he needed to see was a property management company’s key organization to know how well it was run.

At the time, I didn’t really get it.

Now I do.

We just took over a portfolio from a property manager who was fired only four months into the management agreement after running the operation into the ground.

The handoff was a bucket of unlabeled or mislabeled keys and a “figure it out.”

It was a reminder that the small operational details are rarely small. The way you organize your keys usually reflects the way you manage everything else.

People drive significantly worse in the city.

I don’t know if they are looking around or overstimulated.

There is a noticeable difference.

@pslohmann We are pushing hard for mini splits right now

@moseskagan Beautiful email

[Logan Zylstra @loganzylstra]

Someone please stop me if I’m making a mistake

[Logan Zylstra @loganzylstra]

I think I'm a full believer in mini splits over traditional central air. Anyone have opinions on what I might not be considering?

[Logan Zylstra @loganzylstra]

Best advice for finding employees today?

@ThinkAppraiser Are you being sarcastic? Genuinely can’t tell
