#JD3  HANDYMAN / INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR COURSE

HOW TO HIRE A HANDYMAN AND PROTECT YOURSELF!This is Jay Decima's most popular resource. It's also referred to as the Protector. It comes with forms, one audio tape and a special rubber stamp. This course is exactly what you need if you are starting to think about hiring a handyman or maintenance helper. Whether it is part-time or otherwise, it makes no difference!

#V19  HOME SAFE HOME VIDEO
(A Training Video For Your Residents)
This video is very different than the other books we offer on MrLandlord.com. This video is for you to provide to your RESIDENTS as a move-in gift. From your standpoint, this video gift may be the absolute best item you will ever give your residents, because it can help protect your investment and save you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

This Home Safe Home video teaches your residents how to handle minor maintenance responsiblities and take preventive measures in the residence. Don't take for granted that your resident knows how to properly care for a property. Many do not. Your properties are too much of investment for you to hope or assume that all your residents will take safe and proper care of them. Don't leave it to chance that they know. Give every new resident this video and ask them to watch it!

Your residents can view the video at their convenience. However, some landlords use the video as part of a new resident or home maintenance "orientation" and view the video with the resident and discuss the particulars of their specific residence. The purpose of this video is to show residents how to keep their rental homes clean and safe. The tips shared will help keep tenants from bugging you about routine maintenance matters. If you give the resident to view on their own, be sure you have reviewed the tape, so you will know what the resident will be taught to do and what assistance they should expect from the landlord. Once the video is given to the resident, you can either let them keep it for future reference, or you can ask them to return it once they view it. (That way you can recycle it and use it with other residents) Included in the video, here are just some of the important topics that will be addressed to your residents:

* Home cleaning tips
* Routine Maintenance
* Preventive Pest control
* Handling minor plumbing problems (and how to prevent clogged drains)
* Fire saftey and kitchen maintenance
* Use of heaters and appliances
* How to avoid electrical hazards
* Prevention of mold and mildew
* Importance of Renter's Insurance
* Property maintenance and how to avoid household injuries
* Type of nuisance or illegal activities that must be avoided by residents (and their guests)

Thousands of this Home Safe Home video have been distributed through landlord associations, public agencies and property managers in the western part of the United States. The program has been so successful, it has also been produced in Spanish, Russian and Vietnamese. And with the assistance of MrLandlord.com it is now being nationally distributed. This Home Safe Home video is only $19.95 plus $4 shipping. Click below to add this to your shopping cart. For multiple orders, so that you can distribute to several residents, please call our office directly between 10 am and 3pm eastern, 1-800-950-2250. If you wish to purchase 5 or more, there are no shipping charges. And if you order 20 or more, the cost is only $15.95 per video and free shipping. $19.95

Comments From Landlords:

  • "I am impressed with the thoughts and wisdom I have seen on this board. I have been a member of MrLandlord.com for about 7 years and only get to log on to this board on occasion. Like you all I am extremely busy, but I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience when I can. Many of you were on this site then and were very helpful to me. My business has grown over the years... We are fortunate enough to have fantastic residents in our units... Some of the reasons that we have done so well is the advice that we have gotten from you all and from Jeff Taylor. We have so many tenants that can not say enough good things about their landlord and staff, even the two tenants I had to evict. I got hugs out of both of them. All we did was what you told us to do. We treat them fairly and honestly and they do the same. In all the years of renting we have only lost $500 in unpaid rent, and we have run just about 0% vacancy."
    Tom, VT.
  • "Of course there isn't another site like this one anywhere on the web. Oh there are other immitators but nothing compares to the quality of this site and always made even better by filling reqests and idea's of the viewers, such as the picture pages. All of us are addicted. Can't go to bed without checking it one last time before hitting the old sack and of course must click on when I first get up. Priceless info given freely by experienced Landlords all over the country. Hitting on this web site was your lucky day if you came on it by accident. Once you see it, you won't want to leave. Just my humble opinion which is shared by every single Landlord or viewer on this site."
    Nancy, MI.
  • "The Q and A is the best thing on this site and why I come back every day. The wealth of info from other landlords is massive plus I feel like there is someone out there who's been there and really cares."
    Lori, NV.
