Tenant risk is Rising. Smart Landlords are Ready.
This month’ s issue of REImag is one of our most practical yet, packed with tools, insights, and strategies to help you think smarter, act faster, and build lasting wealth in a fast-changing market.
We tackle one of the biggest challenges facing property investors in 2025: rising tenant risk. With 26 % of rental applicants now rated high-risk, and the PIE Act making evictions more complex and time-consuming, landlords can no longer afford to be reactive. Eviction risk can derail even the strongest rental strategy.
That’ s why this issue highlights many cost-effective, expert-driven solutions that help landlords act fast, protect their income, and preserve long-term investment stability.
Traditional credit scores aren’ t enough anymore. Smarter tenant screening tools now outperform them by up to 94 %. AI-powered solutions can verify identity, analyse bank statements, confirm employment, and deliver a clear risk score, all within minutes. No legal or financial expertise required. We also explore how to sweat your property assets, turning underperforming spaces into income-generating machines. From short-term rentals to dual-purpose living and creative add-ons, today’ s successful landlord isn’ t just collecting rent, they’ re building multiple income streams from a single asset.
So what defines a successful landlord or investor today? It’ s not luck. It’ s leverage, systems, and thinking like a builder, not just a doer. As Naval Ravikant puts it:“ You’ re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity.”
Business Ideas That Work:
• Systems = Superstardom
• Replace yourself, one task at a time
• Freedom starts when income flows without you
Ask yourself: Are you building a business, or stuck in the loop? This issue is here to help you take a step back, refocus, and take ownership like never before.
Stay sharp. Stay focused. Keep building your empire.
