When I closed on FIVE of the deals in a week, I went out to celebrate.

You might have seen the soccer fans of the Mexican soccer team in the streets last night on your local evening news as they celebrated Mexico’s 3 – 1 win over Croatia.

I give my tenants choices all the time, in fact at lease anniversary time they can choose 1, 2, 3 year lease, new window air conditioners, ceiling fans, paint….. but I show them their rent will increase based on the improvement option they choose.AC is a big one: so I spend $150.00 on a window shaker, divide that by 12, add a service charge for the install… and viola’ we have a new number to add to the rent.

Do you reward your Residents at their lease anniversary, if so how?

Starting from doom predictions to exciting celebration predictions.

I want you to enjoy your graduation and your new career but I recommend you do not celebrate it.

And then celebrated together over dinner with our wives! 

I remember three years ago I was doing a shower wall in a cold basement and troweling too-stiff tile mortar on the wall, an utter despair of the soul welling up in me, wondering how my life had come to this from what I imagined it would be when I was in college, when my parents celebrated every academic achievement with enormous pride.And I'm a big guy with a long history in DIY, an extensive family history in renovation.

Vigorously dance in celebration.
