Integrity

I was listening to Podcast 29 today and the guest was asked if she ever accepted cash for rent from her tenants. I was quite pleased to hear her say no, she did not. Recently, someone in my husband's family told me something that has upset me greatly. I have known that these people do some shady things, but was still shocked when the person told me that they insist their tenants pay them in cash. When I asked why they would do that, she said so they can claim on their taxes that it is unrented! She said she just puts the cash in a safe. It bothers me so much that some people cheat their way through life, but always come out smelling like roses. I want to surround myself with people with integrity. That is my number one priority. Rant over.
