Managing a rental property on your own can be rewarding—but it’s also filled with potential missteps that cost time and money.

One of the most common landlord mistakes is underpricing rent based on outdated market data. Others include skipping tenant screening, avoiding preventative maintenance, and failing to enforce lease terms. These errors can lead to late payments, property damage, and high tenant turnover.
