About Small Smart Landlord
Real Landlord Advice. No Fluff. No Jargon.
Small Smart Landlord was built for the everyday landlord — the person managing 1 to 10 units who needs practical, honest advice without the noise.
Who We Are
Small Smart Landlord is led by Lance Tearnan, a housing industry professional with decades of experience spanning multifamily property management, mortgage banking, financial regulation, and affordable housing. Lance has seen the rental industry from every angle — as an operator, a lender, and a regulator — and created this site to share what actually works for small landlords.
