Good evening my BP family! :) I've been heavily educating myself since the start of the whole COVID 19 pandemic, and my first goal is to purchase my first duplex within a year. So I was wondering if y'all have any tips for me, as a newbie, on how to make a rental property tenant proof. Thank you in advance :)

Not sure thinking of having a "Tenant proof" mindset is the right way to go into this business. Tenants can definitely try your patience and can be very stressful at times. But in the end of the day the tenant really is your client, if you are treating your rental like a business as it should be. And you are setting the proper expectations with the resident after doing proper screening and qualifications. Not all but most of your challenges will be mitigated.
Going into this journey of thinking its a me against them mindset could prove to be spending a lot of time and energy trying to deal with things which are downstream of how you should be setting up and running your business model.
