Anonymous Landlording
In the past my tenants knew us as the landlords and owners. They'd call us if they had problems and issues. In the future we are going to take the advise of others and stay anonymous as much as we can.
Do you guys who go around to your properties just act like hired help? I was planning on assuming the role of a property manager. This way when I do my drive by and property walks to pick up garbage cans and some touch up tenants won't think I'm some stalker. Also they won't know that I own the place. I'd drive up in a utility truck or work van.
How do you guys who do it stay anonymous?
