Atlanta REIA Main Meeting
with David Tilney on Property Management
at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia on November 5th

Atlanta REIA Members Can Attend at No Charge.
Guests Can RSVP Online Now for $10 or Pay $20 at the Door.

David TilneyWe are excited to announce Property Management Expert, David Tilney, will be our guest speaker at Atlanta REIA on November 5th at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel located at 4355 Ashford Dunwoody Road in Atlanta, GA. David has been involved in the real estate business since 1978 and property management since 1981. He has invested in rentals, notes, foreclosures, tax sales, IRS liens and leasehold interests. David has become the “go to” guy for management of single family homes and loves being a landlord. He looks forward to hearing from his tenants, but often feels like the Maytag repairman who rarely gets a call.

As a landlord or a potential landlord, do you have questions on any of the following issues?

  • Security deposits
  • Property showings
  • Rent collection and late fees
  • Lease vs. month-to-month
  • Property inspections
  • Fair Housing
  • Re-keying locks
  • “Make-ready’s” and capital improvements
  • Pets
  • Applicant screening & background checks
  • Rent increases
  • Evictions
  • Tenant property damage

If you answered “Yes” to any of these issues, be sure to attend the Atlanta REIA Meeting on November 5th and be part of the discussion! David will answer questions, brainstorm problems and force you to think about your rental business in new ways. He will share ideas about how to increase income, decrease expenses and generate more free time.

Here’s what a few local real estate experts have to say about David Tilney…

“If you are going to be successful in real estate investing, you need to have good landlording skills. David Tilney has the best landlording system around and is well worth learning, if you are a serious investor.” – Dyches Boddiford

David is a wonderful teacher… a real been-there-and-done-that landlording guy. He teaches like no one else. His ideas are unique. David will help you become a better, smarter, more successful landlord.” – Bill Cook

Roach InfestationLast month, because of a job transfer, one of our long-term tenants moved out.  They’d been in our single-family rental for six years.  The home was returned in great shape, but we decided it was time to paint the property and replace the ten-year-old carpet.  The shave-and-haircut rehab came out great, and the home looked wonderful!

As soon as we put For Rent signs in the yard, the phone began ringing like crazy.  Folks love to rent nice looking, well-maintained homes that are located in solid neighborhoods and rent for below-market rates.

One of the first applications faxed to us was a landlord’s dream!  It was neat and complete.  The applicant had been on their job for seven years, had the security deposit and rental payment in hand, and wanted to move in immediately.  I was so happy…someone get me a bib just in case I start slobbering all over myself!

If you’ve been reading our weekly newspaper column (Bill’s Articles / Kim’s Articles) for any length of time, then you know there’s one more – very important – thing I must do before signing a lease with this “perfect” tenant.  I must first do a surprise inspection – both inside and out – of their current residence.  Remember, wherever they live now looks exactly like how they’ll have your investment property looking one week after they move in.

Thank God I follow this rule! Read More→
