Becoming a landlord is something that is very popular these days. Back in the day, landlords were people that were in charge of everything from apartment complexes all the way to condos, but now – normal people like you and me and are becoming landlords simply because we can not sell the house we have sitting on the market. Instead, we are renting them out and hence, making us a landlord.

However, do you know exactly what is entailed in becoming a landlord? I didn’t until I became one and I have some advice to share with you within the next few blogs.

Firstly, you need to make sure that you have a screening for your tenants. You always want to make sure that your tenants are something that are going to be very, very close to you and honestly – they are going to be living in your space unattended.

In the next blog, we will talk about pricing and how you can keep track of those repairs that you do to the house.

Now that we have talked about two of the major points as to why a real estate agent should not have a Facebook page – let’s touch base on three more points that are very important. One thing is the content of the Facebook page. Most of the time, your Facebook page is not going to contain a lot of the content that you can provide via a blog or even your own website – so that is something that you need to really think about.

The next thing is going to be SEO. If you are going to sign up for a business Facebook page to promote your website and/or blog – you are going to cut them off at the knees because you are not going to have any SEO on your Facebook page, which you could add onto your blog or website. Another thing is the prospects that you could gain via Facebook – while you might end up with a lot of fans, you are not truly going to be earning a lot of money.

Facebook is a place for teenagers and people who are not trying to run a business – while I personally love Facebook, I would never put my business on it.
