The tenant you have is golden, with a capital G. 

Just follow the Golden Rule of Landlording: Be Compliant, consistent and fair, everything else will fall into place.

I'm a believer in the Golden Rule and apply that uniformly also.For whenever people of the nations that do not have law do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law, are a law to themselves.  

People who come here illegally are often good hardworking people looking for a chance it's the people bringing them here you have to worry about elements of organized crime and generally scumbags willing to exploit the weaknesses of our great country....If they pay rent your golden if they don't they will probably be easier to evict since there not likely to go through a legal process and will probably just leave quietly but good luck 

I have two tenants who have been with me - one for 4 years and the other for 7 years- We have been through tough times here in my locale and there have been many empty units- I have these tenants in single family homes and they pay each month- Golden tenants.I have not ever raised their rent and my insurance and taxes have gone up and I find myself with a .05 return  per year- I think I am behind the times for similar properties by $100/month

I also told my tenants that if I rent to someone that they refer to me, I'd give them a $100 rent credit.Tenants called me often to ask about openings.Plus, students planning to come to the area, will see the ad and call and ask to rent when they arrive - AKA the golden "waiting list."

Each market will have their positives and negatives and there will be no single market that can be crowned the golden egg.

If you find the ones that are, that's golden, because it gives you yet another exit strategy.Now, the deal...Great area.  

I want long term tenants, they are golden, even if the rent is a bit low.  

This is golden example fo best repair possible right?
