How do I quit being a SOFTY LANDLORD?!
3 November 2016 | 30 replies
On the rare occasion where a tenant can't pay, I treat them with dignity and respect, give them 3 days without late penalties, and and even offer to pay for their storage unit for a month while they transition (approx $50, vs $1000s in lost rent, court fees and damages if you have to go through eviction); 95% of the time they've just had bad luck and appreciate the treatment.More importantly, their neighbors see that I'm not just a stereotypical 1980's movie landlord out to ruin the lives of single moms and their adorable band of misfit children, and believe it or not, this really does affect their decision to move on when I do my annual rent raises.

But I did work at a title agency like I said before which taught me how to follow and audit the real numbers and how to invest in real estate and the one lesson I never forgot was -watch the entire movie, not just the trailer, then you don't have to guess the ending!
