In all fairness to K MArie Poe great post writer on the original thread.the original couple that went ga ga over the shower head ended up having to break their lease after 10 months they could no longer afford the rent. they did provide fair warning and did their best to clean up the apartment.and were understanding when I did not return their security deposit.Moreover, they were never a day late with their rent.they left the place rather stinky due to a rotten potato in the cabinet which went unnoticedand I spent 3 weeks cleaning the place to get rid of the stinky weed and cigarette smell.the other first tenant was a nightmarehe paid on time and was clean but did he complain about every single little thing.since those renters moved outI have had no problems from the subsequent tenantsThe difference was that the second tenants moved into a place withall the appliances in place. including dishwasherOverall I think I will always strive to offer more for the same dime. whenever possible.fyiand the no vacancy piece I think is a testament to the business model

I was looking at bringing rent up quickly as gravy on the potatoes.

Lol learning by osmosis!

You put down a tarp to catch little pieces,don a rainsuit and respirator and use a potato fork or roofing spade and they roll right off. 

Everyone wants to pass the hot potato but nobody wants to catch it.No legal advice given.  

Wouldn't want to get stuck holding a hot potato if they said no.

Of course,  my workers comp insurance company dropped my company like a hot potato and every other company wanted 40% of my gross payroll to insure me.While the worker comp claims were no big deal, three of my ex-employees who filed worker comp claims also filed Civil Lawsuits claiming my company owed them for overtime and they claimed my company did not give them a 10-minute break every 4 hours, did not give them an uninterrupted lunch break after working 5 hours, did not give them proper Wage Earning Statements and their termination of employment was based on age discrimination and other types of discrimination.

For likely half of voters or better you could run a potatoe with a hat on for ____ party and as long as it was the “right” party they would vote for it.

At least that way I could get some mailroom osmosis, see what's going on/off market and expand my network while being paid.

I know the basics of what to ask them such as the types of properties, locations I have deemed as my market and my financial limits, but I am not sure of the meat and potatoes of what to ask them.
