Illustrate that if something happens to you, chances are they will make MORE money if they have to foreclose.Otherwise i have learned that raising money and building those relationships are the key to growth.

I did have other plans, but would have declined as it would have been inappropriate, and getting too close to a tenant...as a landlord, we need to keep a business relationship with our tenants.Again, I realize this may sound like bragging, but that is not my intent.I just want to illustrate that if you screen well, get quality people in your buildings, treat them with respect, make timely repairs, keep your building up, being a landlord can be very rewarding, and I don't mean financially.God bless all of you this Thanksgiving.Arnie
