Rental Property Problems We Didn't Expect: Landlord Problems

Real estate investing comes with plenty of wins—but sometimes the biggest lessons come from tenant drama, vacancies, and unexpected challenges. In this episode of Real Estate Chisme, Violeta and Lindsay catch up on everything that's been happening behind the scenes in their rental portfolios over the past month. From managing tenant disputes and property turnovers to exploring ADU development opportunities and finding creative ways to fund future projects, they share the realities of growing a real estate business while balancing life, work, and family. Lindsay discusses vacancies across her 12-property portfolio, maintenance issues caused by heavy rains, and her plans to potentially build a second ADU in California. She also shares the financing hurdles many investors face when transitioning from W-2 employment to entrepreneurship. Violeta opens up about self-managing her latest duplex rehab, navigating tenant conflicts, setting boundaries with long-term renters, and preparing for a new tenant move-in. Along the way, she shares valuable lessons about communication, property management, and learning through experience. If you enjoy honest conversations about real estate investing, landlord life, and the challenges that don't always make it onto social media, this episode is for you.
