I agree with you 100 percent that it is meaningful to tenants when the landlord can come out and assist in an emergency. If during a heavy rainstorm water starts dripping through the window, we're there to fix it, and it has helped us to keep great tenants in place year after year. I'm happy to hear you're having a good landlord experience. I’m so glad you posted, Barb.

I’m happy to hear you’re having a good landlord experience.

The plumbing in my apartment recently went kablooey, and my landlord showed up within a half hour to figure out what was up--on a Saturday night of a holiday weekend. Even though I have some other issues with the apartment, that kind of treatment makes me want to stay there. I’d say living close also leads to happier tenants.

It's hard in many coast areas to enter the rental game... I wish I lived in area in which the numbers worked for rental property. It’s hard in many coast areas to enter the rental game…

I own 5 rental properties here in the Outer Banks and I can say hardly a day goes by with out me have to do something to maintain them.
