It's always nice to look like the good guy when you're a landlord because it's easier to work with happy tenants rather than bitter tenants.

Don’t start harvesting at 50% maturity (or even earlier as often promoted on forums and weekend guru seminars/ podcasts) or you’ll find a noticeable bitter aftertaste.

Bitter moment but business is business.

@Yvette May, Sorry to say, but your tenant knows exactly what she's doing, hoping you'll give up, lose your cool so she can play this out til the bitter end.

Next time, also get estoppels with the seller and tenant signatures so you're all on the same page about when rents are due, how much they are, and how much security deposits are owed.Take it as bitter medicine.  

I just recently started listening to the BP podcasts and haven't been on the forums yet so I really hate that the my discussion on this forum has to be a bitter one, but I've found myself in less than desirable situation as a landlord.  

Brooklyn AU, you sound very bitter against landlords.

Ya'll naysayers are just bitter, haha!

Sorry that probably sounds harsh, but victim mentality will get you nothing but bitterness.

I fully expect him to whine bitterly that I didn’t remind him to complete the checklist and that I didn’t tell him there were problems.
