My philosophy is that tenants rent and prefer not to own a property for many reasons i.e. they cannot, or do not want to take care of maintenance issues.

What's really wild is their acquisition philosophy overall, as described on page 8: "We intend to continue to expand our scale of operations and develop properties and make acquisitions even if the rental and housing markets are not as favorable as they were when we commenced operations, which could adversely impact anticipated yields."

Our philosophy is this... if we can't find a tenant that meets the income threshold, we explain to them that they don't meet the minimum requirements, and because of that risk, we ask for more up front (for us, it's last month's rent, as well as 1st month's rent and security deposit.).

We have a similar philosophy, looking at deals is just a standard part of our day; we have our box, if it hits the box we try to do the deal. 

That’s Always been my philosophy and still will be in the future.

I try to live by this philosophy A foolish man makes a mistake and does not learn and repeats the mistake.A smart man makes a mistake and learns not to make that mistake again.A wise man see other makes mistakes and learns from them how to not make those mistakes in future  I hope that some will help make me wise!!

I believe in the Mastermind philosophy.

I'm a huge believer in the "you make money when you buy" philosophy. 

I base this on the "timid land lords raise skinny kids" philosophy from a veteran land lord/friend of mine who manages over 180 units.
