My wife and I are are taking over my mothers rental property. Through out the many years that my folks have had these places,they have lost more than they ever made. We are trying to change things by running credit/reference checks ,etc.We have evicted 2 already ,we can't afford to evict the others yet,,but anyway,could someone give me some tips on how to let people know ,it's not how it use to be. (My father (deceased) and my mother were very trusting and giving (as in breaks to tenants) and always got screwed. They have had some good renters in the past ,but very few. My wife has got very good contracts ,apps,etc,but if there is any other tips that would be helpful ,I would appreciate it,we are new at this ,but we are trying to cross every T and dot every i. Thanks

There is a website mrlandlord.com that has many landlords there. You can learn from others mistakes. They also have books on landlording.
