This Is the Strangest Life I've Ever Known

Its the only life i have ever know and you have no idea how strange it's been so far. Much of it i cannot tell you for fear of breaking forum rules or blowing my own trumpet.

Needless to say, regrets, i've had a few (i feel a song coming on) but overall i am currently content. What more could i ask

 

[Revoltingest]

Yea, i had some good managers too. But, i had some bad ones as well. And the bad ones told me i got to free me and my wife of this system. Im not gonna put our livelyhoods in the hands of stupid people.

Then don't become a landlord.

If you were to die today, would you have any regrets?

That I did not have a proper respect for money. It was to enjoy not hoard.

I've always regretted the way I breezed through high-school. I payed attention in class, and so quizzed/tested very well, but I always did my homework and outside-assignments incredibly last-minute. I graduated 10th in a class of just over 400 without even applying myself. And there's where the regret comes in. What if I had?

On a small scale, I also regret a lot of my expenditure of free-time. I always have such lofty goals, and want to work on particular projects I have begun. But fairly often when I do find myself with free-time, none of that work appeals to me and I end up doing something wasteful and unproductive. Looking back, I always recognize the mountain of hours that could have been put to those things... they'd be finished, and I'd be looking at the end product by now! But I didn't... and so I am not.

Be Jolly, Jollybear. If you were to die today, the corrupt system and what they did, would mean nothing to you, right?

It would still mean something. All change that happens in the world is due to the fact that someone does not what the same evil done to others.

But, your right, through trials, we gotta see the light in order to remain jolly.

Whats it like being a landlord?

Whats it like being a landlord?

You try to get paid by stupid people who wreck your stuff.

Ok, then you gotta pay for repairs. I get it.

 

[Revoltingest]

Aye, getting tenants to pay for their damage is like pulling teeth from a chicken.

You try to get paid by stupid people who wreck your stuff.

What would you say is your ratio of decent tenets vs. horrible ones?

 

[Father Heathen]

Aye, getting tenants to pay for their damage is like pulling teeth from a chicken.

Do they try to get their deposit back on top of it?

 

[Revoltingest]

What would you say is your ratio of decent tenets vs. horrible ones?

In the 90+% range.
I tend to remember the very best & the very worst.

 

[Revoltingest]

Do they try to get their deposit back on top of it?

I once had tenants who did $250,000 in damage.
They wanted their deposit back.
I didn't return it.
It was prolly around $3000.
