And since they moved in, they complained about everything: doors were not closing properly so we fixed them; the oven was not working properly so I sent a new one; the outside lights were too soft so I sent my electrician, who explained to me that the tenant wanted a new switch for an extra refrigerator outside, so he lied to me and complained about the light, and yes I paid for the switch installation.

We aren’t hard arses, we prefer a softly softly approach that avoids confrontation and animosity, even though this particular tenant had brazenly breached the lease and potentially given us grounds to evict them.The tenant’s response?

Does the rental market get soft as they flood to cheaper properties that make it onto the market?

I train multiple teams weekly on soft skills (webinar, face to face) , and sales.

Carefully reviewing it involves having them initial after every page as a way of saying "Yes sir, I understand that I'm not allowed to flush paper towels down the toilet."  

I have seen organizations make good real estate deals only then to get ate up with office brats running up the soft cost.

Very trendy with a warm modern stye, all tile floors throughout entire house, solid wood cabinets with soft close, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, walk in shower, double vanity master bath, walk in closet.

You can’t have cheap Walmart towels and large bar soap in a property you rent for $299/night (although at $99/night it’s probably fine).

I also have a soft spot in my heart for Dallas as I spent a lot of that time in that city in college.
