pretty much. The tenants who fall on bad luck by getting laid off or getting their hours slashed but still care, they will call you up and let you know whats going on and offer anything. As long as they have been a great tenant i will work with them all day long to find a solution.

Biggest thing that can help is going to a BI weekly payment if their hours get cut. Paying $400 every 2 weeks is a lot less damaging to someones bank account than $800 at once mentally.

In this day in age with all these services (uber/lyft/food services) you can come up with some quick cash because the hiring process is like 24 hours and you work when you can/want.

All kinds of solutions! You can pay $800 every 4 weeks, $400 every two weeks, $200 every week. So many options! I tried to come together to solve this so hard!

probably not a great idea but certainly got a chuckle out of me. I never feel good about eviction and it's always the last step when I've exhausted all other items to collect at my disposal. I can't not pay the mortgage on their unit or write checks and bounce them and expect no foreclosure would be forthcoming. Not paying rent is exactly the same thing. My full time job is being a landlord and it's my sole source of income. If tenants don't pay and they ignore efforts to collect I am not going to feel guilty about eviction. They are essentially stealing from me and my family. I will work with tenants if they need a few days extra or even a few weeks extra if they're making an effort to pay and I am fastidious about ensuring all issues are addressed in as little time as possible and always within the time allotted by law so there shouldn't be any reason to not pay on time or at least call me and discuss the issue before the due date.

Dude needs to realize they've both been set up to fail by the system. Capitalism's boom and bust cycle? The Business Cycle? That's just rank instability. It's just instability. Hits average people and anyone immediately dependent on their spending. Again and again. And wealth and income concentration? What are they going to pay you with, capitalist immiseration?

b/c those can quickly become bougie neighborhoods with perimeter walls for 'safety' that keep non residents out.

After hopping on a market research call, I thanked her by answering a few questions she had about advertising. After our call, she continued to email me follow-up questions, which I answered. After about two weeks of this, she sent me an email letting me know how much she appreciated what I'd helped her with already — for free — and asked how she could hire me to get even better results.


Turns out all you need to succeed in life and move past your dead end...uh let's see here...six figure job in advertising while still in your 20s(!) is to split off from your employer and take a bunch of their high paying clients with you.

But most especially, having one of those clients be insanely rich and willing to act as a patron and help bring in more clients.

So simple anyone could do it.

They are not the same. The landlord chose to invest in housing to rent out and chose the associated risk. If they're in a bind they can sell the house for an injection of liquidity. If they are underwater on the mortgage then they got burned by their own greed, investing money they did not have.

Meanwhile the tenant(s) did not choose any of the risks facing them, they probably had to choose between different essentials and probably chose food over rent or something.

The only landlord I could possibly sympathize with is an old person renting out a room in their house. Even that person is in the position to just sell the house, a position undoubtedly better than any tenant's.

Florida's started doing something similar: Community Development Districts (CDDs)

(I have a buddy near Tampa who's real estate-adjacent)

Tampa's growth is extending northward into rural counties. Local politics is so anti-tax, though, that the counties can't afford to support good services or good infrastructure.

The workaround: CDDs independently levy, "fees," not taxes.

If you have money, you live in a CDD. The roads are smooth. The lampposts are steel. The nicer ones have fios, schools, grocery, security patrols, fences/gates, etc.

This one -- Epperson Ranch -- even sprung for some actual walling and medieval-looking flourishes:





If the US turns into Brazil, communities like this already have everything in place. Upgrade existing walls, increase existing security, etc.

Best landlord story I ever heard was an interview with a 'luxury section 8' guy in Washington DC. He screens for 'unicorn' tenants then lavishes them. He makes his money off appreciation and that's it; buys in the path of growth. Section 8 pays off his mortgages and his tenants are all neat-freaks with secure employment who love the properties, love him, love getting flowers on mother's day from their landlord, etc.

It's basically government subsidized win:wins for everyone involved.

Massive public housing programs would be better but I still find the idea of 'luxury section 8' hilarious. People living in HGTV looking $800k townhouses for like $400 month or whatever.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

well of course, it's only natural that once a child reaches adulthood precisely upon turning 18 that they have become a completely independent individual to be cast out into the world alone to make their own way with no family support, which is absolutely how our ancestors who evolved over hundreds of thousands of years living in tightly related socially cohesive tribes would want it

That owns.

My best landlord story is from a landlord in Seattle. He was telling me that he was doing his end of year calculations on the rent he should have received over the year and found he was short thousands of dollars in profit. Turns out his property manager actually reduced the rent on just about all of his properties at the beginning of the year and then quit, and the next property manager didn't know the rents were wrong. He didn't even notice the money wasn't there until he did the math.
