The Successful Landlord Blog

Well, it’s birthday time again for Landlord-Success.com and I’m very pleased that we are quite well read and have a good following. It seems that I’m not the only person who has the occasional problem tenant and property maintenance nightmare.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the readers and more importantly the people who leave comments. They are what make this blog a vibrant and interesting community. I try to create readable content but the real experiences come from the readers who leave comments.

I was also thinking that a contest of some sort is in order for an occasion such as this.  I welcome your comments and suggestions about this. As far as prizes go, would you like to see the latest unnecessary gadget given away? Or maybe some kind of monetary award? Let me know and I’ll see what I can conjure up.

Thanks again everyone for reading Landlord-Success.com!

Just a short post today. Recently I was asked by RentersInsurance.org to do a short email interview with them. Here’s the link. I think they asked some interesting questions. Enjoy!

Today Landlord-Success.com is 3-years-old! Yay for us! It’s been a hard road sometimes what with the crazy, criminal and just plain dumb tenants, contractors who act like they really shouldn’t be in business, municipalities who behave like they’re trying to lock you into a payment plan and service providers who like to throw their weight around (enabled by the city governments.)

On the other hand, I’ve met (online only but in-person hopefully soon) some really cool people. There’s Clifford who is a web entrepreneur and recovering software engineer like me, Jessica who is THE model for any Realtor or property manager thinking about joining the 21st century and a few other landlords who are in the same boat as me.

All-in-all, it’s been a fun ride which shows no sign of letting up any time soon. While we wait for the economy to dig itself out of the enormous hole it’s in, we commiserate, console and cheer each other on enabling each of us to get where we’re heading.

Thanks everyone and here’s to another three years!
