April Fools Announcement: New Retro Landlord Kit <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The long-anticipated New Retro Landlord Kit is finally here. This retro landloring pack has everything a property manager or landlord will need to step back to yesteryear and experience property management in vintage style and return to the joy of penciled in ledger entries and handwritten notices and documentation. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s not all, easily upgrade to the Modern Landlord Kit (see below for <\/em>details). <\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Retro Landlord Kit Includes:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Specialized Documentation Implement (No.2 Pencil)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The specialized No.2 Pencil is your go-to implement for documenting every aspect of your property management activities from tenant interactions to double entries in your bookkeeping ledger pages.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits:<\/strong> Documentation is king in property management. This New Retro Landlord No.2 pencil can be sharpened to your exact specifications and comes in handy when handwriting tenant notices and other documents. You can also use this easy to grip pencil when noting maintenance and repair requests and detailing by hand every income and expense transaction in your bookkeeping ledger.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features: <\/strong>Hexagonal shaped design — easy grip, p<\/span>re-sharpened with <\/span>medium-soft lead for readable strokes — l<\/span>arge smudge-free eraser for error correction —<\/span> Bright yellow to be easily spotted when misplaced<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portable Sturdy Clipboard<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This handheld device is most useful when on the go, whether walking around the property or in the car on your way to the bank with your handwritten deposit slip. It allows you to carry important papers, checklists, and documents around for easy access. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits<\/strong>:<\/strong> Holds up to a 1-inch stack of paper securely with a strong and durable top clip. Can double as a drink coaster when not in use. <\/span>Pages that are clipped will have a distinct crease on top so they can be identified. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features: <\/strong>Smooth surface finish with rounded edges for a comfortable hold — fair-quality pressboard — <\/span>Dimensions 12.5 x 9 x .5 — t<\/span>op hole for wall hanging<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double-Entry Ledger for Bookkeeping Accuracy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you miss tracking finances one at a time and on multiple pages? Then you\u2019ll enjoy this accounting ledger that comes with columns, rows, and even a place to write in the description and date. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits:<\/strong> Manually record and track individual income and expense transactions in this logbook. This bookkeeping system allows you to manually document every payment received and each expense paid on multiple pages. For example, hand write the tenant payment on a page dedicated to that tenant’s payment history, then write it again on the property income and expense page, and a third time on the bank account transaction page. Pages can be removed and are compatible with the specialized documentation implement and clipboard included in the New Retro Landlord Kit. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features: <\/strong>104 pages — <\/span>8\u201d x 11\u201d ledger is printed on both sides of each removable three-hole punched page<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vintage Pre-Stamped Envelopes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Correspondence and mailout can feel like a fun industrial-age assembly line factory once again. Gather around stacks of statements and spend an entire day folding, inserting, and sealing envelopes. Hand-write addresses (with your handy No.2 landlord kit pencil) on these vintage stamped envelopes (*additional postage necessary for delivery). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits:<\/strong> With proper postage* send rent statements and invoices, leases, and other important documents to your tenants, owners, and vendors by standard mail (2-8 days). And then wait patiently for another week or two for those tenant rent payment checks to come in for manual processing.
<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features:<\/strong> Nice design with handy size for storage — envelope sealing taste is tolerable but not recommended. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
