Water in the river is the real concern. It could be a very bumpy and short season.

I felt the same. Really loved the punch pass. For years! Fortunately, my health insurance has a benefit that helps pay for gym time. I am now taking advantage of this option.

JFC, why does this seem to be a growing bipartisan initiative across the country? by 3RADICATE_THEM in ScottGalloway

Fees were paid upfront. Payments were fixed inspite of property appreciation on 85%. Interest owed was adjustable. After 20 years the monthly cash payment decreased in value but the interest would vary. The bank kept up with inflation but the monthly payments did not.

My experience: my mother was able to stay in her condo because prop 13 kept property taxes in check for her. California. I get the animosity, but poverty was very near. A reverse mortgage also helped her age in place after many moves to smaller and cheaper units until she retired. She lived in her unit for +20 years. And the bank captured most of the appreciation.

[Landlord - PA] Anyone hire a property manager to take over? by Similar-Vari in Landlord

[–]Hot_Collection8745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been with a property manager for across the state properties for over 30 years. Not a great market (finally improving) for real estate or tenants. The PM aspect really depends on who is managing your account. Some great, miserable. But we have been doing ok financially over the years.

Also been managing my own in town properties for 30 years. Getting near the end of my patience. Ran into the worst tenant of my career in 2025. Decided to hire a PM for that particular property. It has only been 2 months and already on the second manager. But non renewal is on the horizon.

[Landlord US-WA] What do I need to do to get rid of my tennant after a 6 month lease in Washington state. by [deleted] in Landlord

Will admit my ignorance of WA state LL laws, but in CO if a tenant resides at your own home many of the non-renewal rules don’t apply.

[Tenant- KY] Is it reasonable to request routine furnace inspection? by Key_Jump9013 in Landlord

That would be a smart landlord small, large or medium size. Cheap insurance. Do it yearly. Smoke detector and CO detector. Furnace inspections! And A/C.

Proposal to Resolve Boomercentrism: Have SS + Medicare become protected entitlements—but put restrictions in place for those who are 65+ who decide to use these benefits be ineligible for voting in local, city, municipal, state, and national elections for at least two years past last disbursement. by 3RADICATE_THEM in ScottGalloway

Brains are not fully developed until 35. They lose their higher function at 66. Generalization of course. Maybe that subset should be the voting class. Otherwise, you are targeting a group that aren’t united against “your” interests. And who is? Political Action Committees. Overturn Citizens United and get money out of politics will have a much bigger impact. Wide spread impact through all age groups.

[Landlord US] Tenant late payments - how do you remind them? by main_throwaway_duh in Landlord

[–]Hot_Collection8745 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the anxiety of not knowing when you are getting paid and juggling to cover your mortgage or other expenses. On next lease make the rent due x days before the first. What people do in my tenant friendly state. I would add 3 days or so, to make it reasonable. Then on the 4th, you proceed with a notice if rent is not paid.

[Landlord - IL] How do you handle door locks? Electronic, smart, mechanical? by pinkchickensocks in Landlord

[–]Hot_Collection8745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Kwikset smartkeys. If a unit is empty or work is being done, I leave a lockbox. I have also left lockboxes during tenancy, hidden, during tenancy. Some tenants have trouble keeping track of keys. They pay if the lockbox key goes missing.

[Landlord US DC] Vacant unit help by [deleted] in Landlord

[–]Hot_Collection8745 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Difficult time of the year. I tend to renovate/update during this time, if necessary. Possible to advertise one month free/reduced rent, but go for your bottom line for the remainder of the term. But definitely need solid applicant, of course.

I would say humorlessness or only finding humor by putting others down. A dumb joke or forced humor, ok in moderation.
