What Christmas decoration says about a neighborhood

Last night I was on my way to check on the progress of the drywallers on one of our current rehabs and it had gotten dark by the time I had gotten to the neighborhood. I could not help but notice that almost every other home is decorated with Christmas lights including some of our rentals. That's not the case in every area in Milwaukee and it shows pride of ownership, a sense of community and the simple fact that you can put something pretty outside without it getting stolen. There are many signs that indicate the quality of a neighborhood, I think I will add holiday decoration to my list.

I agree! Our newest tenants went all out this year with decorations at both holaween and Christmas. Aside from that they are the best tenants we have ever had.  They pay for repairs without telling me and expect nothing in return. They are just happy to have a home. Pay rent early. They are always so happy and greatful to have a home to live in. 

I wish every tenant was like them.
