A few thoughts on tenants. Dean teaches us that there is no such thing as a bad tenant. Just bad landlords.

When I first started my education and my love for Real Estate, I thought that statement was ridiculous. If a tenant is not paying, or their destroying your property, or even if they call every other day because a faucet is leaking. How is that not a bad tenant? Because the landlord is at fault.

I've lived this. I feel like our company has always been pretty good with our tenants. Until one wasn't paying & hadn't payed for 2 months. The BAD landlord has a fit, evicts the tenant & sues them. We could have done that. It would have taken some to get someone else in to rent, but we could have had one in within a couple of months.

Just got done watching weekly wisdom #270. Dean let us take a look into his life with his family & how he has a family tradition every Christmas for the past 3 years. He goes around with his children & does something to touch someone in need on Christmas.

This touched my heart. My main goal in this his Real Estate thing is to help people. Touching people's lives is something that I want to do. Thanks for the video Dean! Everyone check it out!

I spent the first couple of days of this 2014 year thinking of goals that I am striving to accomplish this year. When I finished writing down some short-term goals & then some long-term, I noticed that some of the short term goals might be a little too lofty in short amount of time. I thought I would come back & revise it later on that day or the next day.

I hadn't gotten to Dean's first Weekly Wisdom of 2014 yet. When I opened it up and he started talking about how we can't focus on doing things right away & trying to rush things when they take time to develop. The thought came to my mind that I might need to change some of goals to be more realistic for me. Then Dean said "It's a marathon".
