I have been comparing expenses between my apartments in Berwyn and my apartments in South Bend, Indiana, and I am finding that the lower end units in South Bend are using up a much, much larger percentage of rents collected than my Berwyn properties.

Be a "Deal Maker": Know the terms of a retail / shopping center LOI inside and out, know what higher quality tenants look for, and know what you need to hold firm on and can bend on.  5.

@Michael Zack I inherited a tenant like this when I purchased my 20 unit in South Bend, IN.

If some want to do loans they will bend on certain items.

Don't forget theMeetup for Bend, Sunriver, Three Rivers, La Pine, Sisters, Redmond areas next month!

If I’m going to only get this one job from you, I’m less likely to bend over backwards to make a little less profit keeping you happy.

Our regulations are also very pro tenant and to survive you learn how to bend the rules to the breaking point.

Bend the rules slightly but dont break them. 

Nobody thinks she is a *B* and quite the opposite, she is adored and respected, and people bend over backwards to please her!!!

I have a friend that is currently in the field and I am bending his ear as much as I think I can get away with.
