==== Real-Life Example: Effective Tenant Management ====
Consider Alex, who successfully house hacked a duplex. Here’s how he managed his tenants:

* '''Marketing and Screening:''' Alex created detailed and compelling listings for his rental unit, including professional photos and a virtual tour. He posted the listings on Zillow and shared them on social media. He conducted thorough background and credit checks and interviewed potential tenants to ensure they met his criteria.
* '''Comprehensive Leases:''' Alex used comprehensive lease agreements that clearly outlined the terms and conditions of the rental. He ensured his leases complied with local laws by consulting a real estate attorney.
* '''Responsive Management:''' Alex responded promptly to maintenance requests and conducted regular inspections. He maintained open communication with his tenants, addressing any concerns quickly and professionally.

By following these strategies, Alex attracted high-quality tenants and maintained a positive landlord-tenant relationship, ensuring the success of his house hack.
