Updated June 20, 2024. Are pets a good idea for your Pittsburgh rental properties? When you think of an overwhelming amount of cat hair and scratched flooring, you probably want to avoid dealing with the aftermath of pets in your investment properties when a renter moves out.
What happens when someone has decided to call your vacant rental property 'home'—without your knowledge and permission? Unfortunately, it happens more often than you might expect as a property owner in the Baltimore area.

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but many real estate investors discover that self-managing rental properties aren't always the money saver they thought it was. If you're holding strong to the idea that outsourcing to a Wilmington property management company is an unnecessary expense, here's why it could be costing you more than you think!

Before we begin: This article is no substitute for an excellent attorney—so while we're sharing some good information, we always recommend working with a legal professional or an experienced local team like Rentwell to ensure you stay on the right side of the law.

Updated May 9, 2022. Eviction: The nightmare of every investment property owner—and for good reason. No one wants to be the 'bad guy' and put someone out of a home. No investor wants to be without the income they worked hard to make happen, either. Renters who don't want to pay their rent are few and far between: most renters want to pay their bills; they just fall on hard times. Sometimes evictions are necessary, though—so understanding the process before you ever get to that point is smart to ensure that you will be prepared if you ever find yourself needing to evict.
