The facility don't Care about me or my repairs she is in violation I'm trying to put my rent in escrow account til my floor tile is complete and a brand new door I told inspection she said nothing about the my house being flooded.

The delayed reporting of tenant move in is a MAJOR issue for anyone who rarely visits the property...best to ask the tenant to confirm their date of move in once it shows them in the system

I made the horrific mistake of befriending my property manager. I don't even want to know who much that p.o.s. stole from me over the years.

I had the same problem. Property manager was stealing by charging bills two times. If this happens then mostly the PM is stealing. The owners were no different since they loved to overcharge for out of state investors. beware when you invest out of state.

Hi Peter! So glad I found your channel. I added you on LinkedIn as well. I know you had a lot to cover in this video but I think you missed a very common property management scam. Double dealing with maintenance staff. When a unit gets turned the company doing the work will overcharge the owner and the split it with the property manager. They will also over purchase materials and keep the extra paint, doorknobs, etc to use in their own properties (management company owners sometimes have their own personal rentals). Also, if they are responsible for collecting the coins from laundry/vending machines they can skim without you knowing. There are many more ways so be extra vigilant and "pop in" to see them unannounced from time to time.

Look out for move-in and move out fees for cleaning expenses that never get done like repainting shampooing and things of that

Thank you for these warnings and suggestions Peter. Another sign of an impending problem - especially if its an out-of-town property - is decreased or poor communication from the PM.

Also, renting a unit for 1.2x when it’s on the books as 1x… cash or money orders…skimming

Suddenly brain explodes!!! Fantastic information!!!

Thanks for the information Peter! I have been their, in several businesses I owned in the past, mostly cash!!! So Iam much more vigilant now! You do great work Peter, helping others!!!

I got a PM that got half of my sales commissions nn Boca Raton plus she was getting an envelope from vendors, while creditors like First Bank called the office nonstop while paying rent for her son and daughter-in-law. The owner of the management company denied any wrongdoing!! I am suiting them

Peter the introduction , brutal honesty

Bad Debbie! Good sir thank you for your videos! I am in the process of watching the Master Lease Agreement video. I am young, crazy and “alone” but about to start poking at properties that are 1 million pus. I always knew it was possible but never at my young age :/. Still much to learn, but I really thank God for you and appreciate your generosity in the knowledge sharing! I wish you and all of you who read this continued success!

You go Julian! You'll go further than you believe possible if you're consistent and persistent in your growth.

Excellent video great advise same thing Oprah told the music recording artist Toni Braxton...you don't allow anyone to watch your money or it likely will leave with the person doing the watching...you must dollar check your cash flow

Thanks for your videos, Peter. I appreciate the work you put into making them clear and informative!

thanks for your example of Debbie… I know of several other ways bad management people get in trouble… thanks again for your example… barrowing from Peter to pay Paul expenses and renting units but shown as vacant

I learned alot from your vids Mr. Harris. Will definitely be working with you in the near future. Very knowledgeable and I learned stuff from you I never would've even imagined!!! 👍🏾👍🏾

Good day mr.harris glad to see you're teaching videos always

Great advise, as I am looking to partner with a PM now.

A condo manager allowed washers and dryers to detiorate so revenue was minimal, then pushed to sell rights to a company who specializes in these facilities, which was actually their shell company, once this was identified the revenue was estimated to be $50,000 per year! And it went on for 8 years before questions about the deal brought the fraud to light

Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy: These are the three "dark triad" traits that criminal minds frequently exhibit. Sometimes, you can pick them off through background checks, observation and conversation, previous history, or perhaps through personality testing. Learn these personality traits, and how to identify them. You won't find every potential criminal, but you can materially improve your contractor and employee team by winnowing out these kinds of people.

Thank you Mr. Peter. This is valuable information.

Great presentation. Unfortunately this occurs way too often usually the same routes.

Great video Thank you

Awesome this is great ,would have know of this ray.. Seem it could be a great ideal to have your own property management office.

Great lessons

Thank u good xplain

In a condo board an audacious and clever thief will identify revenue that they can manipulate to set expectations and then capture revenue stream, before maximizing it. To reap large profits that won’t be missed. So watch for any manipulation of revenue or asset value. A condo manager could neglect facilities and increase monthly fees by having expensive work done, this will drive value of all units down which increases the foreclosures etc which they can then purchase below actual market value, then rent them while continuing to amass more units. Before bringing improving facilities and pushing the value up sharply.

Thank you

I owe my property management company a lot of money after two years. Who is that in forensics?

Property managers may commit time fraud and put in that they were on the property more hours. In fact, I took a new hire position as a resident apartment manager and the previous manager was creating upwards 20 hours a month of additional work hours during after office hours. I was actually let go and told that I just wasn’t dedicated enough to the job as it seemed like I was working less hours than the previous manager but the truth was that I was simply being honest and not creating additional bogus hours.

So helpful

I'm on the other end of this, the stuff my management company does. ..might be 'legal"...but certainly not morally right.

I can see given a tenant 30% break on a rent and keep them without a contract with month to month rent for 3 months and then after that rent it for full price with the written lease, for landlord that not attending and checking the property even if you ask the tenant they will cooperate with a dirty property manager. At least the type of crooked tenant that the property manager carefully approved.

When you have a property manager and the property maintenance person is the same person and/or have familiarity with each other. I can keep going because I’m going through a AAA Debbie that turned into the nightmare Debbie. Checks are not credited to the account properly. Or are deposited into different accounts (multiple LLCs).

I received several invoices with no breakdown for me to understand the real cost for each repair/maintenance.

You have to request for every invoice breakdowns with receipts and call the vendors and verify the numbers

Thanks for your reply. We did request the breakdowns but they said it was done by their maintenance people and they cannot break it down since all jobs were done at the same time. Obviously they don’t want to give details for an obvious reason: they cannot back up the costs and don’t want to have to explain. We called and asked the tenants and they said the repair guy stayed at the rental house for the whole day to fix a small thing. How would you handle such situation?

Shouldn't the property owner do their own property management? Why are there checks and balances for property managers? In most companies there are quality control checkers. Why none in property management?

@rosewood7593

No to the first question because when you are an investor you really just want the cash-flow and plus not everyone knows how to manage an apartment complex. So in order to get the money but not deal with anything with the property, you hire a property manager to deal with the hassles that come with the property. There are checks and balances in property management so you don't have people who are stealing your money and such. Also, as you saw in the video debbie did her job very well. So even with the quality control checkers she would've passed anyway since she can do her job very well. The issue was ultimately debbies mindset that led her to do the fraud in the first place. YOU are ultimately responsible for your property manager therefore you must keep him/her in check to insure a stable cashflow, stable property and a stable economic tenancy. Hopefully this helped your understanding a little bit

*Ddoncarder* if you guys aren't dealing with this guy, y'all are missing alot
