LandLord, as a way of life...

every time I am on this topic, it is depressing.  Why? because in most people's eye, landlords are heartless slums...

in some way, I agreed, but I must also say, landlording is not charity work, we are not doing God's work, we are just only human, we need to survive this world too.

for example, today's schedule...

6:15, get up to smell the coffee.

7:15, Daughter missed the school bus.

8:15, had to be in court, I have 17 cases today, I occupy the court room from about 8:45 to 10:30, just for me.

11:00 nothing to do, browsing WXC.

1:00 meet wife for lunch?

2:00 need to see a SFH, which tenant just moved, my guys been there since 9:30.

4:00 need to pick up daughter?

......
