I do want a policy that will:provide me with a consistent action planencourage tenants to communicate problems before rent is due, encourage tenants to pay enough to stay "current," define and discourage  habitual late payments. 

Mary encouraged me to get my real estate license so we could continue to work together in every aspect of our real estate business.  

So that might mean going from stock cabinetry to custom cabinetry to push the prices higher.  

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

I've only worked for three major dealerships and in the end they are all the same, exhausting long hours, not enough money and management tries to make you like a puppet and gives you a script to say to a customer.  

Amazing how some landlords have not figured out that excellent customer service and building tenant relationships is the best strategy for creating the best possibility of a long-term tenant.  

Although I must confess I've actually been on BP for 4 years but I've decided to take the real estate plunge and know I need to be around like minded people to stay encouraged and keep moving forward!

Here are the average response rates we have seen based on our customer feedback as well as our own mailings throughout the years: Yellow Letters- average response rate of 8%-9%, all kinds of calls (angry calls, curious calls, tire-kickers, quality calls)Postcards- average response rate of .5%, mostly quality calls.Zip Letters- average response rate of 2%, mostly quality calls.

They are my customer, so I work with them.  

I strongly encourage you to identify an attorney, a broker, and an accountant to advise you on each deal you seriously consider.
