Note from the CEO/Publisher: Vol. 1

VOLUME I: Note From the CEO/Publisher

Think Outside the Lockbox

What can Go4Rent do for you? Since inception, we’ve helped countless numbers of Realtors and landlords navigate the complexities of the rental home market. Our stance will always be to provide our users with information and to educate them about our ever-changing environment. Today, we continue that philosophy with “Go4Rent the Magazine."

In lieu of educating landlords on how to invest, Go4Rent discusses ways to remain on the good side of the law and how to establish happy, long-term tenant relationships.

Finding a good resource is time-consuming. With each issue, we will discuss a legal issue pertaining to our industry with a goal to keep the landlord out of lengthy legal battles with their tenants. For landlords, “I didn’t know” is not an acceptable defense strategy when appearing in court. You’re supposed to know.

If I knew then what I know now, I would have been a more-informed landlord. I will share my decades of knowledge with you as a renter, Realtor, investor and business owner. We all may learn something new and special along the way.

We will deliver great content that is relevant to our audience.

Jonathan H. Coleman, Broker, MBA Realtor and Landlord Relations Manager

Note from the Editor: Vol. IX

In every issue of Go4Rent Magazine, we try to bring the best out of property owners and Realtors. In Volume IX especially, we’re all about helping you cross your t’s and dot your i’s.

Note from the Editor: Vol. VIII

In 2018, I knew my lease was up in a couple of months and had been warned that prospective tenants were going to stop by. I cringed at the idea of strangers walking around my place, but a rental is a rental.

Note from the Editor: Vol. VII

I always find out fun facts while assigning, fact-checking and editing these magazines. One of the most bizarre facts I learned in this issue came from “Realtors, Avoid These Questions on Rental Applications."

Note from the Editor: Vol. VI

In a perfect world, when a tenant moves out of a rental, the Realtor already has another client lined up to move in. In the real world, landlords should be ready for anything when a tenant leaves. Some repairs and upgrades are bound to happen over time (i.e., aging roof, windows wearing down, electricity problems) while others could’ve been avoided (i.e., pet violations, pests and vermin, mold, wall and floor damage).

Note from the Editor: Vol. V

Essential oils. Candles. Plug-ins. Potpourri. Perfumes. Lotions. These are my favorite things. People who know me well know this, but I never expected my Realtor to notice.

Repairs: Who Pays for What?

For a landlord, a rental property is an uphill battle against mishaps, calamities, the hands of time and sometimes nature itself. To guard their investment, property owners must plan ahead, maneuver tactfully and sometimes be prepared to cut their losses.
