    My Tenant Stayed 19 Days Past Her Lease… Then Asked Me for Mercy! | EP 4

    EPISODE 4 | FREDERICK WARD PODCAST My Tenant Stayed 19 Days Past Her Lease… Then Asked Me for Mercy! What would YOU do if your tenant stayed in your rental property for 19 days after their lease ended and then asked you to waive the remaining rent? In this episode of the Frederick Ward Podcast, I'm sharing a real conversation between me and one of my former tenants. Her lease ended, but she remained in my property for an additional 19 days. According to our lease, the holdover rate was $150 per day, bringing the total to $2,850. Her security deposit was $2,600, leaving an additional $250 balance. That's when things got interesting! During our conversation, she explained why she felt I should make an exception and waive the remaining $250. She also shared concerns about maintenance issues she says she experienced while living in the property. From my perspective as a landlord and real estate investor, those additional 19 days affected my plans for the property. Eventually, she asked me to show her some mercy. Now I want to hear from YOU! Was I wrong for expecting the additional $250? Should I have waived the remaining balance? Should tenants be responsible for the holdover terms in their lease? Or should landlords make exceptions when tenants are experiencing financial difficulties? Whether you're a landlord, tenant, real estate investor, or someone considering purchasing your first rental property, this is a conversation worth having. Listen to the entire episode and share your perspective.

    Business Is Pay to Play: Build the Foundation Before You Try to Grow Ep. 3

    Episode 3 of the Frederick Ward Podcast. If you’re starting a business, thinking about starting one, or you’ve been trying to figure everything out on your own, this episode is for you. A lot of people are consuming information every day — watching videos, saving posts, buying courses, and following different business creators — but they still don’t know what to actually do next. In this episode of the Frederick Ward Podcast, I talk about why your business foundation has to come first. Before you start spending money on ads, generating leads, or trying to scale, you need to understand where those leads are going, how you’re following up with them, what systems you’re using, and what your overall business structure looks like. We also talk about something every entrepreneur eventually has to understand: Business is pay to play. Building and operating a real business costs money. Marketing costs money. Software costs money. Advertising costs money. Education and mentorship can cost money. Partnerships may involve commissions and revenue sharing. The goal isn’t to avoid spending money. The goal is to understand how to spend money in ways that help your business grow. Who my Business Startup Program is designed for Why beginners often get overwhelmed trying to do everything themselves How AI and automation can reduce the amount of work you have to do Why you don’t necessarily need a huge team to operate a business Why advertising and exposure are part of doing business Why you should build your foundation before running ads CRMs, email campaigns, text campaigns, and lead follow-up Why mentorship can shorten your learning curve B2B, B2C, and B2G business opportunities How partnerships can help you grow faster Why successful business owners understand commissions and affiliate relationships Why networking is really about building relationships How relationships can eventually create business opportunities Why there are different levels to entrepreneurship My long-term goal of buying and selling businesses The biggest message is simple: Stop trying to skip the foundation. You can’t sustainably grow something that hasn’t been properly built. Want help understanding how to start your business from the ground up?
