Interesting first night as a landlord

So, just closed on my first 8 plex Thursday. I was showing the place to possible tenants when 2 marked cop cars and 2 undercover cars come pulling in the lot looking for one of the tenants. The person viewing the apartment said “is there a police officer that lives here”? Ugghhhh not that I know of. Luckily I told them we are getting the place turned around and they still want to rent the place. I called my partner to tell him, and he says “welcome to the rental game”. Thought you guys may get a kick out of that.

welcome to the chaos . Wait till the cops are called out to the property to try to coax your tenant off the ledge of your old Victorian roof because he’s threatening to kill himself and the other tenants come out in the driveway to watch ! Ask me how I know !! If I was there I wouldn’t be yelling “ don’t jump” instead I’d be saying “ hey throw your cash down for this months rent before you take that leap !”
