I was hoping if some fellow landlords have strategies to encourage their tenants to maintain the yards.

I would encourage you to attend local AREIA events.

Just got off the phone with a realtor I was referred to and the things she said was NOT encouraging.

Marie.I appreciate all of the responses, and encouragement.

I would still strongly encourage a fixed rate loan.

Asking them to sign a new one wouldn't encourage them to start looking elsewhere, as the time and expense of moving deters most people.

Many homeowners are encouraged to "stay in their homes" even by the government, often living there rnet free and mortgage free for more than 1 year.3.

Nobody knows what you're looking for more than you, but I always encourage any agents I come across to send me deals if they have one.

I was a 23 year old CEO of my company, and felt the same thing-not being taken seriously.I want to give a thoughtful word of encouragement, that it is YOUR RACE, the path is looong and in the end, only with yourself.You DONT need validation from ANYONE, and find the folks who will support you and nurture you.The cynics and naysayers. . . well they SUCK!

Generally a high traffic area, maybe on a table near the copy machine would be just the right spot that would encourage them to collect their data and get the heck out of my way.
