One of the beauties of real estate investing is how you can either do it alone or have a team with you. If you are thinking of doing the latter, this episode is going to give you the information on whether it is for you or not. Guest expert Laurence Jankelow is here to tell us all about it. Laurence is the Cofounder and Chief Operating Officer of Avail, the first and only online platform for independent landlords and their tenants. Laurence gets down into the scale of managing a property by yourself as an independent landlord and how they, at Avail, could help you jumpstart on this path either as a landlord or tenant.

I came across a website that allowed you to be a do-it-yourself landlord. I'm not suggesting or advocating that it is something that everybody should do. It's up to you if you have the time and the inclination to self-manage or be essentially a do-it-yourself landlord. This website or platform allows you to help find the tenants, view credit history, sign leases, collect rent and you can do that on any computer or device. They've got tools built-in specifically for those people who want to be do-it-yourself landlords. I personally know people who manage a portfolio of properties from afar, literally hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles away, and do it successfully. These people are typically people who are in real estate one way or another full-time. It's not that they have full-time jobs or careers and doing their things with their families and following their hobbies and have all that “extra time.”

It's something that's a matter of choice and it's a question of how much do you value your time? Is it something you want to outsource to a professional property management company, which is what most of at least our clients do? It's certainly something I do. I have thought about doing self-management in the past and I have managed some of my own properties. What I wanted to do is contact one of the cofounders of this company. The company's called Avail and bring them on for an episode to talk about what it is they do and how they do it and what it is and what it isn't. That way you can be well-informed and make the educated decision on your own as to whether it's something you want to do on your own or not. With that, let us get to the interview and learn more about the Avail platform.

Do-It-Yourself Property Management - Laurence Jankelow
It’s my pleasure to welcome Laurence Jankelow to the show. Laurence is the Cofounder and Chief Operating Officer of Avail. Avail is the first and only online platform for independent landlords and their tenants that provides the tools, education and support to make renting your properties easy. Laurence, welcome. 

Thanks a lot for having me here. 

It's great to have you on. I don't remember exactly how I came across you and your website, but I thought it was very interesting and a different take on landlording. I decided this is probably something that our readers might be interested in, at least not everybody, but a good percentage of them at least to look into. I wanted to share it with our readers. Let's start off with a little bit about yourself.
