Unless you're hurting for money, get that squatter out, remodel that property then flip it. You are walking into a nightmare but with eyes wide open. You do remember the definition of experience: where the test is given first and the lessons are learned later. Flip it.
Putting God first is a wonderful wise thing!! 👍❤️ If the good Lord is willing and we see 2025 I pray this will be your best year in your relationship with God and the best year for your business!! Love you guy's and pray you have many opportunities to share Jesus with other's!! 🤗 ❤️
I would have like to cut the plug off BUT you don’t want them to destroy your stuff before they leave or come back and do it at a later date or squat. Want to play it peaceful until they are gone. It sucks
@@derrickbell3087 or just turn the breaker off to those 2 outlets either way they are going to know they are busted when they can’t get in that part of the house. Once they are awarded the eviction turn off water to the property put antifreeze in the water lines so they will not freeze and turn off electricity also.
I'm sorry to hear that, we have learned over the years that the most important thing to do is a very thorough background check. And that is not 100 percent perfect either.
Look into quickset, smart key locks. You install them one time and don't have to change them out after every tenant, they're easy to rekey.This is what we put in all of our rentals. Do as much background check on the front end as you can, it's not a 100%, but you can't just let anybody in there. It's better to let a property sit unrented for a couple of months until you find a good tenant.
@SpencerLawnCare i've only been doing this for going on 3 years now. Still learning a lot, but sometimes people just suck. It's easy to want to quit like others have said.But just remember, as long as it is making money, it makes sense.
Hello 👋 Concrats on the new investment 👌 I hate thief's 😡😡😡 I understand that times are hard but.... Why can't people just ask for help?!?!? Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas Spencer family Shaun you sound like an intelligent man , people like You and TQ would be great Bosses y'all are family oriented values and put God first God bless y'all Go Browns
I’ve owned my rental in canton for a couple years now and I’ll tell you having a good lease is worth it’s weight in gold. Always make sure they are being updated and changed as you learn
I had a friend of mine that had a couple of rental units and he had some bad tenants that he evicted and after quite a legal battle they ended up leaving but not before they totally destroyed the unit. They even tore out kitchen and bathroom fixtures. I hope you have a better outcome.
People don't respect themselves so don't expect them to respect you going out of your way to help out that's why you can't get a place to live without costing you a fortune you said a mouthful there cause I retired and some benefits I got said it was COVID stuff they could not do nothing about till now they say people working from home messed it up so good luck hope you get them out take care my friend
Yeah there's good and bad in everything u do in life. One bad tenant can't stop you. It sounds to me like u will have a problem truly getting that tenant out but it will just take time. I know because I've dealt with rentals for years through my dad's rental Just keep your guard up not trying to scare u but sometimes they get very aggressive and threaten to do things they shouldn't. BUT ALWAYS JUST LET THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT TAKE CARE OF IT. IT THEY MAKE THREATS REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE AUTHORITIES GOOD LUCK
Hey guys hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas. We did. Congratulations on the rental property. Hope it all goes smoothly and well for ya. Don’t know about you all but I’m already ready for spring. lol. At 63 and on blood thinners the cold weather sucks. lol. Y’all be safe careful stay warm and dry and keep up the great work. Bruce in Wv!!!
@@SpencerLawnCare Ya I had a feeling that was the issue. I know in a lot of states you can have the panels outside. But once they are out and if its in the budget I would get a sparky in there to see if it would be feasible to put each unit on its own sub-panel fed from either a main service panel or a service disconnect from somewhere you will always have access to.
Rental properties sounds like a bad ongoing ulcer. Good luck with what sounds like a professional Squatters next door and someone that knows how to not be evicted. Those are the kinds of folks that will destroy your property. Better off just flipping buildings IMO. Good luck!
If you want to get rid of those tenants and they're "squatting" and using the law against you, all you have to do is write up a new lease to a couple of really big nasty friends of yours (that you trust) and let them move in. If the law can't evict the squatters they can't evict your new tenants (that have a lease signed by you). The squatters will leave. Eviction by Attrition. Totally legal. Until then, ask your neighbors to give you a call if they see anything suspicious.
Figure out what's needed for a simply safe system add cameras and door and window sensors while you have the renovations going on before during and after the eviction and renovation when ready to rent remove the system to be legal for privacy reasons for future tenants. Looking at the age of the property I would use pex to replumb the home one less thing for disgruntled tenants to steal. Wiring is number one and coper pipes would be second. If you have an off site area for cardboard hide as much of the products your investing into the property. If you add laundry to anything above the basement make sure you waterproof and add a floor drain.
You gotta unplug the cord, pull as much as of it as you can to your side and tie it off to something sturdy so he can't get it back. That'll be funny...
a friend had 40 plus rentals, finally had enough of the crap dealing with renters and laws. sold every one and put up mini storage. keyless video entry. much easier and so much less hassle. similar tax advantages, can sleep at night. he just kept saying, "no good deed goes unpunished". maybe the laws will change with the next administration. there are other things you can get into like a DRIP trust or income index fund reit;s etc.
I have a friend that owned a duplex here in Ohio. She had to evict then thru the legal process on eviction day. They had to show up with police and had to physically remove and dump their belongings at the curb because she wouldnt leave. And of course the unit was destroyed.
Regardless weather he enters your unoccupied unit or not you verbally warned him not to enter very least you can serve him with a trespassing order with him stealing the gas and Hydro it's theft
So do you own both sides or one side? If you do not own both sides, see if the owner would like to sell. Idk know what to say about some ppl these days!!! If it’s not the storage unit, it’s the house smh hoping for the best! Some ppl will make you lose your religious lol I would put a hidden camera in now since you have installed the locks. If he comes ober I would get him for breaking and entering. May speed up the eviction.
Get someone on government assistance if possible. Covid taught a lot of ppl a lot when they could not evict but was still responsible for a note. Thatnwaybyou get paid no matter what
@ I had a rental that I rented to a questional person, the church I attended, the clergy, said they were good folks! Things were good for a few months then the rent was late every month. Then the rent stopped! I let them bring 2 cats in , those 2 cats turned into 8 plus 3 dogs! One year later through all the eviction notices it finally went to court! They claimed I was a slum lord! Brought pictures of the condition of the house to court! I was flabbergasted at the condition! I showed the judge the pictures I took of the house before they moved in! The judge told me I shouldn’t have let that happen! WTF! My saving grace was the water was shut off then the gas and finally the electric! After 4 years I could have built a house for what it cost me to fix that one! People mistake kindness for weakness! You need to set firm boundaries! It takes a certain kind of person to be a real estate investor! I told all my other tenants the long story about co-signing for my sister to get a car! Bottom line was, I didn’t want to hear about why they can’t pay on time! I can go on and tell you many stories, that’s why I’m a former real estate investor!
Oh BTW I had to pay over 2 thousand dollars to get the water turned back on, 6 hundred twenty for the electric and 5 hundred for the gas! Good luck to you my friend!
well i know from experiance that the bad tenants are far less numerous than the good ones. yes tenants do have rights, not privalege. how ever the number of bad landlords are more numerous then tenants and that is why renters have rights.
@@stevesolt4036 it’s not that easy to get a renter or a squatter out of your property anymore. It is actually easier for a bank to get a homeowner owner out for nonpayment than a renter and a squatter is even harder to get them out.
Call the police and make a report. Stealing utilities is called THEDT OF SERVICE. If you are going to be a landlord, you need to learn to nip this in the bud now or your gng to continue to be soft.
I'm working on it, I need proof, I didn't have it after the first time. Now, if he comes back in. I will have proof. Police will be called. This isn't my 1st rodeo dealing with tenants.
My friend has dozen's of rental properties. Once in a while runs into the same problems. He has to send over the muscle to get them out. Court's do nothing, so he handle's that himself. He say's being a landlord is a pain in the ***. But on the other hand he does well financially

Good Evening Team Spencer
Hello, how are you doing tonight?
Merry Christmas team Spencer and happy new year to your family to mine family
Merry Christmas spencer family
This is the reason we sold our rentals people just suck excuse my language
I'm sorry to hear that, we have learned over the years that the most important thing to do is a very thorough background check. And that is not 100 percent perfect either.
@@SpencerLawnCare hire a rental firm to do all that and pretend your the repair guy the owner calls to fix things
Merry Christmas to you and your family love your videos and happy new year
put up walls separating each side of the basement and attic with a door and add deadbolt locks to them that require a key on both sides
We will be as soon as all of their stuff is gone.
call FBI
Hey Team Spencer, congratulations on the new investment. I hope it works out for you.
Thank you! It's one of our favorite things to do.
Good morning all From sunny Australia

Concrats on the new investment 👌
I hate thief's 😡😡😡
I understand that times are hard but....
Why can't people just ask for help?!?!?
Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas 🎄
From what I've been told, they have paid rent in years........ Some people will take advantage of family.
@@SpencerLawnCare I think you meant "they have NOT paid rent in years". Yes, a very valid reason for eviction!

Wow can't wait to see the finish product it's the little trickles that help
Yes, sir, trying to put drops in that bucket every day.
I’ve owned my rental in canton for a couple years now and I’ll tell you having a good lease is worth it’s weight in gold. Always make sure they are being updated and changed as you learn
You are so right! The lease is everything.
As property owner, you can give them a 24 hr inspection note and enter. Tape notice to door and take pictures of notice. Then you can enter property.
I did the first time i went there. They let me in after 10 minutes.
Unplug the cord
I would say the rules are different in every state so I would look up the what you can do verses what you can't before you violate.
Hello, what is the status of the shop on the property??
We are not building right now!
Interest to build is too high right now. Waiting for the right moment if and when it DOES come down, then there will be a good builder's year!
I had a friend of mine that had a couple of rental units and he had some bad tenants that he evicted and after quite a legal battle they ended up leaving but not before they totally destroyed the unit. They even tore out kitchen and bathroom fixtures. I hope you have a better outcome.

I wish you the best in 2025! Thanks for another great year of videos!
We appreciate it! Let's make 2025 the best year yet.
LVP would be good for the flooring as long as the floors are level.
I hope u unplugged that extension cord lol
😂
For that awkward bathtub setup, I'd take out that little wall and put a tiled walk in shower in that space.
Absolutely love the fact you have a new business. I really want you to buy a car wash.
We have looked at them. Also, a laundromat
It does look like a nice rental like you said it does need a over haul other than its a nice place
Thank you, it's a rental for sure! Not a forever home.
Hello! Feliz Navidad!
Merry Christmas 🎄
Why would you buy a property with a bad history?
Bad history ? Its a bad tenant, I don't mind dealing with them. They will be out in 30 days. And we will put in s good tenant.
Yeah there's good and bad in everything u do in life. One bad tenant can't stop you. It sounds to me like u will have a problem truly getting that tenant out but it will just take time. I know because I've dealt with rentals for years through my dad's rental Just keep your guard up not trying to scare u but sometimes they get very aggressive and threaten to do things they shouldn't. BUT ALWAYS JUST LET THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT TAKE CARE OF IT. IT THEY MAKE THREATS REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE AUTHORITIES GOOD LUCK
Plus it's the former tenants bad seed
Squatters.
Should lock the windows to
Love the videos brother good luck with everything can't wait to see the place come out nice
Thanks! It's a big project, but we're excited about the future.
Consider installing under cabinet lights in the kitchen. I remodeled our kitchen and installed them and it was a huge game changer.
SPENCERS MAKING MONEY FROM ALL SIDES. RESPECT THE HUSTLE
Thanks, brother. It's a heck of a ride. Let's get it together. 💪🏼
Get some young guys to move in for a month. First in the current side and then as soon as the other side.
You need to have to power meter on both sides that way you can cut the power off the one that is empty cut the waters off
Good luck you guy's and hope it works out.
Thanks
always enjoy your video have a great upcoming weekend stay safe out there
Thank you
You need to put in longer screws into those latches.
We sold all our rentals because no matter how we researched the tenants we always got screwed.
Part of it for sure! How much can you take is part of business.
You’re a good man.
Wishing you and the family a wonderful 2025. Great work and thank you.

What did you get for Christmas?
New Ohio state hoodie, new air composer hose. I don't need much. I have everything I need. How about you ?
I got a ladder stuff for Christmas. How do I show you what I got for Christmas?
just turn the breakers off except for the furnace/ baseboard or whatever is heating that place

Hello
You need to get some video camera to put in the house
We just might. 💪🏼
Can you just turn off the electricity and gas?
That side is off. Our side is on for pipes and work.
I would unplug his cord on your side. that’s theft
Why didn’t you unplug the extension cord they had ran to the other unit ?
Maybe I did ?
@
Ok
@@SpencerLawnCare oops Shawn Boy tripped over it and unplugged it and didn’t even tell you 🤣🤣
Hello! Merry christmas!
Merry Christmas
Set up cameras in the empty side
I would put cameras in with cloud storage. The POS breaks back in, you have it on video.
I'll go bye it in a few days. It will be easy to tell if he went back in. I did a few things we did film to ensure that.
Nice hat. One of my favorite company’s

Thank goodness your evicting that creeper.
Got rid of my rentals.
Why ? You can always just sell them, and numbers are pretty good right now!
You Cut the cord. done. FYI Laminate Flooring in a rental is a waste.
Seems it would be better to let them have heat until out so that side don't freeze.
Good luck Shawn
Vinyl plank. Idiot proof. Have that in my rentals
Exactly what I'm thinking! The ceiling fan is going bye-bye as well.
I see the extension cord was still pluged in
✂️
If he is that desperate he will get back in anyway. Keep a check
I will, and if he does, i will call the police and let them handle it.
Lol I would have. Cut the cord😂
I used to do apartment maintenance for a guy in the Akron/Canton area and I could tell you stories about dealing with crazy tenants like that. 🤪
Change the locks.
First thing we did.
In Australia when u move out of a house or u take the fridge as well
KEEP GROWING...KEEP MAKING MONEY F*** The Haters, Lies and Cheats" You know your worth
God knows who we are, and no one else matters.

Sucks. Tenants are sometimes completely different from how they originally make themselves out to be.
That's for sure!
Welcome to the slum lord world . No thanks . I turned down that opportunity years ago! I invested in land instead.
I don't do slum lord 😂
My New Year’s resolution is to get outta dept work on my credit and better my business
I love it brother, sounds like a great plan.
Why don't you just unplug that cord?
I did, I just didn't record it.
Regardless weather he enters your unoccupied unit or not you verbally warned him not to enter very least you can serve him with a trespassing order with him stealing the gas and Hydro it's theft
So do you own both sides or one side? If you do not own both sides, see if the owner would like to sell. Idk know what to say about some ppl these days!!!

We own it all.
Get someone on government assistance if possible. Covid taught a lot of ppl a lot when they could not evict but was still responsible for a note. Thatnwaybyou get paid no matter what
Done with renting out. Sold everything after COVID
They got to go sorry about there bad luck
Personally I wouldn't have closed if they weren't out, knowing they were a serious problem...good luck hope it works out with minimal issues
