@Sarah Larbi yes I've found that treating your tenants with respect goes a long way. I'm sad to have some of my best tenants go after 3 great years. They would often make improvements to the apartment on their own dime (with my permission of course).
Andrew I've always thought out side the box. I am not into raising rents, I purchased correctly so I make good income. I think our greed system is ridiculous. Raise Rents , Raise rents, it kills me when I hear this. I think most folks are buying the properties priced to high, so they must raise the rents to make financial sense. I always thought as tenants as part of my team.
I try to look at things like this, every month a group of folks are coming to my house to drop off a check. They are building my retirement / legacy for me.It is a shame more folks don't think like you.
Now on the flip side I have the horrible tenants as well.
Tentants = Part of my team = My retirement = treat all people the way you want to be treated= its much easier tot deal with happy folks instead of miserable folks.
Happy easter '
