Good morning folks
Cloudy and chilly here to Morris, hoping the last 11' of my site dries out, wet clay can be hard to level with a trowel. Going to RONA to buy a string of lights for the tree out back, will make a subtle yard light, last string was swiped by room mate of former upstairs tenant.

I`ve had it with tenants Perry, I`ve turned over one of my two rental properties over to a rental agency. Thankfully the other one has had steady, decent tenants.
It doesn't look like there is any hope for drying before freeze up here, every morning the ground is soaked.

Ever since this house got sold it's been a 180. Nobody pretending to be a property manager and interfering with the line of communication, decent tenants upstairs finally. With the exception of this years rain, the financial "luck" has turned around. It's like 7 years of bad luck/famine followed by 7 years of good so far. It was 7 years to the day, that I moved in, that the house got sold.

If you get a decent property management company things can get better real fast. Coastal Properties was a REIT based company and we were focused on being profitable, raised the rents and upgraded the properties the first 2 years and locked long term tenants from then on, bought the Hazelwood Hotel in year 4 and did the same thing, am reaping the benefits from it now that I'm semi retired.

The rental agency I started using seems to be a decent property management company, it`s owned by two ladies and one seems to be on more on the ball. No hope of raising the rents with so many vacancies and incentives to attract renters.

Took getting rid of all the Calgarians involved in this house to make it normal.
Russian immigrant owner, Mennonite raised farm boy in the basement and Syrian refugee family upstairs and now this place is smooth as silk. Peace, harmony and respect all the way around
