Great tenant story!!

[Kevin Starkey]

This is how you know you have a great tenant! He went to write his monthly rent check and realized he was out of checks. So he sent a letter to me stating he was going to order new checks and would send the rent as soon as he could. In the letter he said he would also go ahead and add the late fee to the amount.. 1 week later, sure enough I receive the check with late fee already added, without me prompting him. I want him to stay forever so I’ll buy him Christmas gifts every year! I could also raise rent on him around 50$ to compete with market value, but it’s not worth losing him as tenant so I leave it where it’s at! Too often I’ll look at the bottom line in regards to dollars then I remember why I started this process. I’m beginning rental properties to do less work to spend time with my family, and that’s exactly what this tenant provides!
