Landlord Tip:Don't Forget to Increase Rents!One of my biggest mistakes was not raising the rent on a yearly basis. I thought that as long as the rent was being paid, I didn't want to rock the boat. I later realized that my properties were way under rented. I found that when I tried to increase rent, the tenants went crazy. They resented that I "all of a sudden" want to hit them with a rent increase. They felt that as "good tenants" I was punishing them for no reason.- Louis C., NY
Energy Saving Tip:Did you know...Compared to conventional holiday lights, LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs use up to 90 percent less energy? To break down the energy cost savings, a strand of traditional lights would cost about $20 a month if used every night, whereas a strand of LED bulbs would only cost about 20 cents. These high-tech "twinklers" also last up to 10 times longer.♫ Santa Kick My Tenant out for Me ♪I don't need a lot of presents click here for the rest of the lyrics...
