I happened to stumble across some BP videos on Youtube but didn't really get stuck on it until my mother-in-law got me two BP books for my birthday.

He would tell all of his prospective tenants, "I'm the only guy you'll meet that has 13 birthdays... 12 of them I celebrate on the 1st of each month, the 13th I celebrate when I was born, you don't have to worry about that one but if you ever forget my other 12 you'll be looking for a new place to live."

Where it gets sad is the previous owner had abandoned family photo albums, old birthday/xmas cards, etc.

I think this is why tenant screening is SO important.As someone else mentioned above, no one cares like we care and therefore that means we must take total responsibilities for our properties.I forget the guest on BP, but he did offer gift cards for children who got straight a's or gift cards for birthdays or special holidays, that I do feel is a great idea, because it shows your tenant they are more than just a $$ in your eyes

For example, I got several guests who are in town for their gf/bf birthdays and I wouldn't expect them to read magazines in those nights. 

I do plan to see if I can find a good deal for my wife’s birthday which is coming up on the 5th! 

In the impending divorce between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, buried between the news that Kim had retained celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser and the fact that Kanye only stayed at his wife’s million-dollar Tahiti birthday vacation for a mere day, was a juicy bit of real estate gossip.

Hey there,Alright, today is my 32nd birthday and my first day as a BiggerPockets member!

You’ll also be more likely to recognize situations in which you might overspend; special occasion spending like travel, birthdays, graduations or anniversaries, for example.In other words, learning how to manage debt comfortably and when to pause before borrowing can help you enjoy the opportunities that good debt can provide while avoiding bad debt pitfalls.

Tomorrow's my birthday so I thought what better way to celebrate than to introduce myself to other like-minded folks wanting to conquer mountains in Real Estate.
