Upper Edge Property Management

Would you feel safe letting your kids walk home in that neighborhood? Crime rates, school quality, transit access—these aren’t just family concerns, they’re tenant filters too. A great location attracts responsible renters—and reduces headaches. 🏡

Did you attend last week's webinar, where I taught how to screen for location-based red flags in my Tenant Screening Masterclass? I'm now hosting a webinar series EVERY Thursday (7PM CST) that teach these red flags and more.. Spots are filling fast - don’t miss out! Comment "SYSTEM" or click the link in bio for more info.

Timing is Everything in Real Estate. 🗓️

If you're leasing a property in the dead of winter, you're ALWAYS going to battle lower prices and vacancies. Try offering a shorter-term lease with an option to extend during peak rental season.

🎯 That way, if they don’t renew, at least you're turning over the unit in summer when demand is high—and you won’t be stuck with a vacancy in January. Who moves on New Years Eve? 🤷

This small tweak in your lease strategy could save you thousands.

🏡 Landlords, Know Your Local Rental Laws!

Just because your lawyer or another investor says you can collect first and last month’s rent doesn’t mean it’s actually allowed in your area! ⚖️

For example, in Manitoba, landlords can only collect a HALF-month’s rent as a security deposit—no more. Meanwhile, other provinces and states allow full first and last month’s rent.

✅ Always check your local regulations before collecting deposits to avoid legal trouble and tenant disputes.
