For me the course along with some other supplemental books has been very much worth the price, and I has helped me to have confidence reaching out to brokers, PMs, etc to start searching for a deal.  

I have several older tenants probably paying half their monthly 'fixed' income to rent in a safe/secure area & they need to work part-time to supplement their lifestyle.http://www.wral.com/more-americans-spending-at-lea...

I do not believe in supplementing my tenants rent by being below average and see no reason why any landlord would.

The decision you need to make is based on whether you want to be a landlord long distance, take the normal risks associated with the business and most importantly can you afford to supplement your tenants rent if the cash flow is negative.

It can be supplemental but is not necessary.  

We are only in business to make money not provide affordable housing or supplement tenants rents.

I still have to supplement with electric and propane heat in the winter but they look better than window units from the outside.  

Some will not raise the rents of good tenants preferring to supplement their rent in the belief keeping them is preferred over charging full market rent with the risk they will move.

Stay under market if you have a undesirable property otherwise why would you supplement your tenants rent.

However, today I received a supplement list from my tenants, and it states all bedrooms have "Lots of marks, dents, and holes & scratches on all walls".
