It’s a shake down.

There's more ways to collect rent then you can shake a stick at.

And people wonder why rest of world just shakes their head at Americans, you act like Tweens and make as much sense. 

It seems to me it would be too easy for governments to shake that trust.

We (as Joe mentioned above) also require some tenants who are habitual late payers to move to a bi-weekly plan as a last chance option and offer this extra cost option to all of our tenants.Do you use 3-day notices to "shake the money tree" as I've heard it put?.

Example:I looked into buying a Steak-N-Shake.

You have to be out and active and as we say shaking hands and kissing babies, knowing the players, them knowing you, and being top of mind when they are ready to transact.You're probably only getting a split to write home about if you're bringing in the business, not assisting the person who did...and it won't be much. 

I'm a big believer in what Jim Cramer likes to say: There's always a bull market somewhere.I think there will be a shake up in the market.Areas that have been highly dependent on AirBnB could get crushed.Class A properties in major city centers could be in a tough spot.On the flip side, Class B/C properties, mobile homes, etc could do just fine.Outskirts of cities may do fine as population move towards cheaper areas and avoid staying in highly populated cities as aversion to future virus outbreaks (this is a longer term view on the overall housing market).I think the real estate landscape is about to get reshuffled.

Is it earth shaking?

As a matter of fact, we are coincidentally waiting until 2021 to buy our next property for personal reasons but this will also allow me to wait and see how the assessments shake out next year.
