You guys are so doom and gloom, come on man, the fed (that caused all this btw) is going to save EVERYONE, Banks, credit unions, trust and mortgage companies, investment banks, underwriters, brokerage firms, hard money lenders, stock speculators, the airline, auto, restaurant,hotel, bar, retail, casino, and travel industries,money market funds, the repo market, the global fx market, the stock market (direct purchases soon), the bond market, the derivatives market (oop's sorry ronin capital), consumer spending (helicopter money only 3 weeks away), your local bowling league and oh yea, air bnb.Don't worry the largest financial event of our lifetimes, BY FAR, will be over in a jiff and you will be rested and ready to get back to work!

But I see other seniors in my building with gambling problems (lots of Indian casinos around here), who smoke cigarettes and/or pot, who spend their money at the local bar, going out to eat, buying new clothes, etc.  

Although there is a significant number of multi-family housing coming online this year, there is still a demand and need for it in the Treasure Valley.

Omg, had to post the update, I went to collect the rent and turns out the tenant had needed the $ to go to the casino because she "needed to screw". 

For 5 years I was Treasurer of the condo association for the building I'm in now.

I treasure the notion that you live your life with your own control, not dependent on God, family, or government.

If she's not on board for the true cost of that additional revenue - in time, hassles, drama - then it isn't worth it.Kind of like when I worked at a casino and learned that the valets are the employees at the casinos who make the most money - but - they are literally running their butts off all night long. 

Go to a casino. 

., and the only reason they are broke is because they blow all of their money at the casinos, and on cigarettes and going out to eat or to the bars, etc.If you go ahead and raise her rent to market rent, she will cope.  

But, you'd be amazed at how someone supposedly broke finds money for new cars and cigarettes and the casino, etc.
