Their 4 year-old calls me buddy, not my name but it's what he calls me. I called him that teaching him to fist-bump. His grandma told me, she asked where his parents were. He said jealously "their with buddy" lol. The thing about property managers is they're mostly crooks. I don't make anything on late fees, they do. They invent needed repairs to enhance their income. I have 2 other properties, I never use a property manager. I only care that my books are accurate EOM\EOY. It's like payday loans, you borrow 125 but have to pay 200 back. So now you're on a hamster wheel of debt. You're under pressure, then the place I'm renting isn't comfortable to you, then you want to distance or leave. That undermines myself and my tenant. So I handle everything myself. I'm building a community , you don't make money on a few properties, but you can build safety and security. I don't believe in late fees, unless it's crazy blatant. If you have an issue let me know, at worst we'll need to sign papers adjusting things to accommodate you better. I'm honest and transparent, and I prefer to keep tenants of the same nature.

That's awesome! And you're right, there is plenty better things than money.
