The typical landlord starts off life as a light hearted real estate investor. The investor is brimming with enthusiasm and is determined to acquire some single family homes that will be attractive to renters... and start down the road to financial independence.
Then... Wham! Reality smacks them right in the face! The investor-landlord is fair game for almost everyone.
Why? Because nobody loves a landlord.
It's bad enough that many renters don't quite understand that without their monthly rent payments the landlord can't make the mortgage payments on the property.
A few renters are surprised to learn that the family room of a rental home was just not designed as the place to rebuild motorcycles.
Nobody loves a landlord.
And then... how many legal hoops must the landlord jump through? In most states tenantlandlord law favors the tenant in many ways
For example:
A tenant signs a one year lease. Six months later the tenant breaks the lease and moves. Now the law demands that the landlord find a new tenant for that unit as quickly as possible.
Yes Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Norge , the tenant only has to pay rent until the new tenant is found... but the burden falls on the landlord. Why shouldn't the tenant... the one who broke a contractual promise have to find the replacement tenant?
Why? Because nobody loves a landlord!
Here's the first paragraph of a story in my morning newspaper
"A huge marijuana garden of 212 plants nurtured by an intricate irrigation and lighting system worth ten of thousands of dollars was uncovered inside a West Valley rental house Saturday."
The house was vacant except for the cash crop and I can't help but wonder if the growers were getting government farm subsidy payments?
The home has an out-of-state owner. Some poor investor who thought he would cash in on the fast-rising Arizona home values.
Here's the kicker. That investor could be held responsible, because he did not properly supervise the use of the property! Many areas have such laws.
Why? Because nobody loves a landlord!
This should be a reminder to all of us that a rental house or unit is not a set-it-and-forget-it investment. Every good lease or rental agreement has an inspection clause that allows the landlord or his representative to periodically enter and take a look at the condition of the premises.
Are you doing that? You should be, because...
Nobody loves a landlord!

No ceremony with this article, let's go straight into five quick ways that will help you find relief from stress, depression and anxiety.
1. Take regular breaks from the firing line. Working hard without regular breaks is a great way to build up stress and tension. Make sure you have at least one 15-minute break in the morning and one in the afternoon as well as at least 20 minutes for lunch. If possible Adidas Yeezy Boost Norge , eat lunch away from your workstation. Equally, if you have a lot to deal with in your life right now, taking a day, or a weekend elsewhere ? longer if you can - to get some breathing space will really help. Even just a day away from the firing line will enable you to get some distance from the problems and help you to gather your thoughts.
2. Regular exercise can help relieve stress, depression and anxiety. Exercise releases endorphins into your system and will give you a natural boost. It will also provide you with a break from brooding and dwelling upon problems and troubles ? but only if you perform the right kind of exercises. Avoid: Exercises that allow you to brood (weight lifting Adidas Energy Boost Norge , jogging, treadmills) and perform exercises that require your full concentration. Competitive sports such as squash, tennis, badminton and circuit training are all excellent examples. It is important that you do not brood when you exercise because although you will be benefiting physically, you are still stressing yourself mentally and the stress Adidas Pure Boost Norge , depression and anxiety will worsen.
3. Stop beating yourself up. Self-deprecation is a huge part of stress, depression and anxiety. Each time you beat up on yourself, you will erode confidence and self-esteem. Never tell yourself you're useless, worthless, stupid Adidas NMD Tennis Hu Norge , hopeless, boring, ugly, and a loser. Never convince yourself that other people hate you, that others find you difficult to be around and that you're better off being alone. You would never deem it acceptable to say such things to other people and you must deem it equally unacceptable to say them to yourself. These words and phrases are powerful and they will hurt you. Accept you're not perfect and that you make mistakes ? just like everybody else does ? and cut yourself some slack. From this day [u
