Hi, I'm John Nuzzolese, founder and president of the Landlord Protection Agency.
I hope you'll join me in a powerful, educational webinar with Cynthia Schmidt "Mrs Landlady". Cynthia and her husband, Gary, are authors and teachers of the national renowned Collect Back Rent program. Cynthia and Gary have been landlords for over 20 years with hundreds of tenants. They know first hand how important collecting all the rent you counted on is to your success!

I first met them in 2012 and got to see them present their Collect Back Rent system in Ohio when they were speaking at the Ohio Real Estate Investor's Association (OREIA Summit). I was very impressed by what nice people they are and how well they have refined the system of collecting rent money that was presumed gone forever. Many of us have old rents out there being enjoyed in the possession of our ex-tenants. Well, imagine being able to collect that money!
Imagine being able to force the ex-tenants to give you the money or go to jail! It's not a fantasy. Cynthia and Gary provide the tools and show you how to do it!

The webinar will discuss the Eviction Notices, Evictions, Small Claims to the Post-Judgment Proceedings to collect. The Schmidts have collected 90 satisfied judgments and shed a new light to the somewhat stale landlord collection profession. If you are serious about collecting your rent/unpaid judgments andwant to learn more about your business or start a Judgment Assignment business- this webinar is a must! A huge stepping stone in the continuing education for the real estate investor.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
See you there!

Do you really have to spend a lot of money?

When you list your rental with an experienced, landlord oriented real estate agent, (preferably a member of The Landlord Protection Agency, your advertising should be included with the service.

If you are not using an agent to rent your property, you can advertise very inexpensively or FREE through Craigslist, Trulia or TheLPA.com's Rentals Available listings. You also may want to take advantage of services such as The National Tenant Register, which is a listing of prospective tenants in search of rentals. The tenants advertise their rental needs to landlords through web sites such as theLPA.com web site. You never know where you'll find the next qualified tenant!

The Condition Inspection Report may be used with or without a Security Settlement Statement, but I have had better success using both together.

This document is not only a complete condition checklist at Move -In and Move - Out, signed by the tenant at move -in, it also puts the tenant on notice that the condition has been documented, dated and acknowledged. It is very important for the landlord to establish the condition of the premises before the lease begins and after the term ends.

It will be very difficult for the tenant to argue the facts noted on this form which is signed by them!

Video and Photo reminder: Tenants are reminded that the premises may have been photographed and video taped prior to occupancy and also upon vacancy.

Includes a Security Settlement section to calculate any deductions

Using The Condition Inspection Report along with the Security Settlement Statement will afford maximum landlord protection. As long as your charges are legitimate and conform to your lease agreement, it is very unlikely that any deductions will be challenged by the tenant.

Please try to keep your questions as short and to the point as possible.

Have you ever been beaten by a tenant on the rent?
Most of us have and unfortunately, it is one of the costs of doing business as a landlord.
On the bright side, remedies are available. If you have documented your tenancy with the proper paperwork including a rental application, lease agreement, late notices, etc., you may have a chance of collecting.

Credit bureau reporting is an option in which many modern landlords are beginning to participate....
