They also get other gifts from time to time, such as: house plant, flower basket, flower bowl, bedding plant, door mat, fireplace log, professional carpet cleaning of traffic areas (for long term tenants every 5 years).We do not do rent concessions.

I log expenses as I incur them and generate entail receipts.

Or should I just create my own to log everything and keep the cash flow organized?

I don't think I have drunk posted yet, but this post inspired me sufficiently - I will be logging in from my next beer night, and commenting away! 

I can log into bank and see who paid and when.

You can play your hand perfectly and still lose.There is more to the story as well.We log all applications and outcomes after tenants move; we have done regressive analysis on ended leases to find out what application factors correspond with good tenants and bad tenants.

(another anonymous tactic is a little shout out at 11 pm keep it down or we are calling the cops)Here you can see the police log and you can see who called and that is public record but most people don't know that even so I would not lie about calling.  

For instance, if the Original Joe had owned two parcels of land and deeded parcel two to Secondary Joe, but kept parcel one for himself with the express provision that Secondary Joe may enter into Parcel One and take the logs for himself. 

Keep a log of every interaction.

The tenant will be able to log in and initiate payments, and we will still have rent payments go straight into our account.
