Pad Split, Home Warranties, World Cup, April Slowdown
Description
Steve schedules a call with PadSplit after hearing the CEO on Brandon Turner's podcast. The model converts houses into 7-8 bedrooms rented by the room, with tenants paying weekly and PadSplit managing evictions through an LLC structure. Steve's hesitation centres on eviction risk and the type of tenant who can't afford a traditional apartment deposit. He recalls one PadSplit in Canada that turned into a halfway house, and debates whether to try it on his Arlington four-bedroom or just list rooms himself on Airbnb.
The hosts also trade landlord war stories - Steve nearly rented to a tenant flagged by one reference as "the worst I've ever had" after another landlord gave only yes/no answers to dodge the truth. They discuss David Greene's Florida disaster (squatters exploiting a county deed loophole), discrimination baked into 1950s occupancy laws, and the coming DFW boom: the 2026 World Cup in Arlington, Disney and Universal Studios opening in Frisco, and Mansfield building a San Antonio-style riverwalk. Steve warns that Fort Worth single-family zoning bans short-term rentals, putting Keller hosts at risk. April bookings are slow across the board - the lull between spring break and summer.
