    Have you seen the new seats where you sort of stand up on airplanes. Marketing them for cheap short trips.

    BTW..thank you BayView !!! We have one tenant who we do treat special. He and his family are living in our former PPOR. We keep their rent at the same rate as when they moved in 18 months ago.He does carpentry work for us on that property and when required at our other properties, and at very...

    You didn't read my post very well then.. I stated we did treat ours well.Livestock reference is just an analogy. Only you can decide if you live in fairyland. Maybe you just haven't had the experience we've had. When you deal with 200+ tenants (over 6 years) you deal with all sorts of...

    Very well said BayView, We had to learn very quickly especially when our first purchase (other than the first property we bought for our daughter to rent) was an 11 unit apartment building ..with a bad reputaion for drugs/violence/police called constantly... We cleaned the building out of...

    jaycee, remember it was Rob who originally called them livestock..not me. I give them all the benefit if the doubt. At the moment we have 4 who have decided the rules do not apply to them. Not pleased or impressed with their attitude...but we will be back soon to straighten them out.

    nope. Just means they are faceless people, who serve a purpose, and provide us with the means to support ourselves...much like a farmer. Do you think tenants care about LLs?

    We treat all the livestock humanely. Sometimes we open the gate and let them escape. Others that have been distructive, do not fare as well.

    And how many properties do you have? Have they ever been trashed...abandoned premises owing rent? If tenants don't like it, they can buy buy their own house. My husband describes tenants as "livestock". Livestock serve a purpose, are treated well, and maintained until time to be replaced...

    Wylie, How are things going for your hubby? Is he going stir crazy, or has he found "retirement" more time consuming than he thought.I'm just starting my third week, and absolutely loving it. We always seem to have something to do. Today we were rednecks. We bought a second hand couch on the...

    As much as I hate to admit it, I may not want to increase a "good" tenants rent as quickly as another tenant. It's like going to a favorite pizza place. It may not be the cheapest pizza, or even the best. They may greet you with a smile every time, know you by name, or give you a free treat...

    Dazz, BUT if you had 40 of those "good tenants" netting you $100 week, to us that is good :)

    With our units, we start everyone with a 3 month Fixed Term Lease.If everything goes well, we allow them to choose another Fixed Term or go monthl to month. Our single family properties have a Fixed Term Lease and generally all expire at the conclusion of the school year (30 June)

    Of course a PM doesn't like long leases. They would be happy if every tenant left after 6 months, because this is where the money is made.
