Ep. 37 - My Life As A Landlord

Episode Summary In this episode of the Property Management Law Solutions Podcast, host attorney Tim Baldwin is joined by Dr. Jennifer Salisbury, founder of My Life as a Landlord, for a candid and practical discussion on what separates successful landlords from those who struggle unnecessarily. Dr. Salisbury begins by addressing the core hurdles landlords must overcome to be successful, including lack of education, emotional decision-making, poor systems, and the tendency to underestimate the business nature of rental property ownership. She emphasizes that many landlord problems are not caused by tenants or laws, but by inconsistent processes and unclear expectations established at the outset of the tenancy. The conversation then turns to recurring patterns of mistakes Dr. Salisbury has observed across years of working with landlords nationwide. These include improper tenant screening, failure to enforce lease terms uniformly, delayed maintenance responses, inadequate documentation, and reluctance to seek professional guidance until a problem has already escalated into a legal or financial crisis. From there, the discussion shifts to good decisions that consistently improve outcomes for landlords. These include treating landlording as a business, investing in education, using well-drafted lease agreements, documenting everything, maintaining professional boundaries with tenants, and proactively addressing issues rather than reacting defensively. Dr. Salisbury underscores that disciplined systems and repeatable processes lead to better tenants, fewer disputes, and stronger long-term returns. Finally, the episode confronts the common excuses landlords give for not landlording properly. Dr. Salisbury explains how these rationalizations often lead to greater liability, higher costs, and avoidable stress and why accountability and consistency are essential to long-term success. This episode offers a clear, experience-driven roadmap for landlords who want to reduce risk, improve profitability, and operate their rental properties with confidence and professionalism.
