Landlord when I was a kid

[Nick Albin]

Just sharing a story. For some reason this afternoon I was thinking about a landlord my mom used to have. I was fixing a loose gutter for my tenant and her son was outside talking to me. He is about 7. Cute kid.

When I was a kid my mom had a land lord that she rented from for about 7 years. The guy was super nice. We were good tenants. Took care of the house and rarely asked for anything. He would come around on my birthday or on christmas and give us gifts. Nothing to crazy. Heck even after we moved he sent me a graduation present. He was just a good guy to the family.

I recently past by one of his homes that I lived in as a kid. It was up for sale. I called him up and we are going to try and work out a deal on some of his properties. He is getting older and is down sizing a bit. It was really neat talking to him again and telling him what I have been doing.

Does anyone here have any similar experiences?
