@Nir Pilo "I've never had a Bad Tenant go Good on me!"

@Nir Pilo

;-) Hey Buddy, it's easier to learn from OTHERS experience.

@Melissa Gittens roof:-(

You may want to private message me. I've got several new blog posts on the website about Property Losses from our Vendor Member Len Therin. Very often your first impulse is the wrong one.

@Benjamin Boynton

Welcome.

I'd spend a little more time with your father-in-law he may be on to something you missed...

@Nir Pilo what's the address so I can buy your house for 50cents on the dollar and kick this guy out!

 (of course after you've been fooling around with the Tenant for so long;-)

@Thomas H.McNeill I like your idea of one lease to August then an annual.

Personally I always do TAW!

@Account Closed I like Postcards and I do a 7 x 7 (seven lines with seven words in each line) even the mailman will read it;-) I also have changed my copy from "Do you..." to "Do you know someone who..."

Can you put one of your cards here? and we'll provide feedback.

Good morning, (2/21/18 7:46am)

1. Arcana Insurance It's time to get a checkup on our Home Owners (HO1 and HO3) policies. In my case it is because MetLife said I've left an employer where I received a discount on one of my Policies (duh, I left in 2003...). So if you're doing your annual checking, take your "Dec" pages (1st page of your policy is the Declaration page with the coverages and costs). What is important to me are the Personal Liability and Deductibles. I redact the costs of those coverages and fax that page to a different insurer each year, for a quick Policy review - If they are less, I consider them, if not... www.ArcanaInsurance.com is a Vendor member and should be offering us a substantial discount on the cost of coverage.

Make sure you let me know how you make out with this new Vendor! Mike

2. ISC Tenant check - Who would let a stranger into a $200,000. apartment (average rental in this area) without knowing anything about them? I hear it all the time... However as the head of the Massachusetts Housing Courts, Judge Tim Sullivan tells us: Get on Mass.gov Hosing Court (no cost) and check to see if your Possible Tenant has ever been there. Needless to say you've already got an iPhone image of their government issued ID (Mass Drivers License) Then your final check is with another of our Vendors offering us a discount - ISCScreening.Wistia.com

3. Home Depot - Contractors don't forget to take advantage of our Number #1 Vendor, HomeDepot.com who has paid millions to research Commercial and Residential building material trends: What's Hot? What's Not? and When to find Buyers with their Tax Returns, Ready to upgrade! This can be your roadmap to what your Customers are looking to do!! Check out the online or instore flyer!

4. What's involved in taking possession of a Tenants possessions (after a Housing Court Eviction of course)??? Kirill will give us the lowdown (2/27/2018) on our responsibilities and Liabilities because his company has successfully handled many of these important moves!

5. Doug Grady will be our very important Main Speaker with Reason #10 to attend next Tuesday, February 27th which is:

How to Let Go of What Isn't Working! Some folks find it hard to even identify which areas of their business and life are not carrying their weight but once you do and Let go, your Life is completely different!

I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday! February 27, 2018 6:30 - 9pm Early if you want info on your "new" Kitchen, Bathroom or Floor with JR the manager of DesignGroup47.com 47 Newbury Street (Route 1 North just before Sonic carhop) Peabody, MA 01960 No charge to Members of MassRealEstate.net or NewHampshire Only $25 for Guests or Only $99./year to join!

Happy Ground Hog Day:-(

According to NBC, the Washington Post and USA Today, Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow which predicts 6 more weeks of Winter, so let's make the best of it.

The Theme for this evening's Movers and Shakers is:

What's your Side Hustle?

A Side Hustle is considered something you can do, starting in your spare time and requiring little or no cash. Kind of like an enjoyable Hobby vs a necessary J O B which you may dread...

It's not rare but possible for someone to start with a Side Hustle, turn it into a Main business and end up Retiring from it's high returns.

We'll blast through our food/drinks and regular Movers agenda

(We start round robin style where everyone gets to share what they've been working on, their successes and areas they may need help in. Then we'll analyze a City/Town for opportunities, Peabody, unless you request a City or Town for me to Analyze... If time permits I'll cover what I've been working on.)

then I've got a list of 99 Side Hustles. We'll see which ones could fit you!

I think we'll have some fun with this and maybe Notice something we've overlooked until now....

I look forward to see you this evening 7-8:30pm Kelly's Roast Beef, 165 Endicott Street, Danvers, MA 01923

PS NO charge to members only $5. (tip for our waitstaff) for non members.

PPS You may want to bring a notebook or notepad and put together a new RoadMap for 2018. I'll get there a little early and if time permits I'll go through my Theory: Your Three Circles of Life because you may be Derailing yourself without being aware! (Simple and Easy to Correct!) But I'm out of there by 8:30pm for my own, latest Side Hustle (which I'm glad to share).

PPPS We're trying to get everyone Registered for our main meetings (Last Tuesday of the month) by providing links. Last month 54 folks PreRegistered and our Host & Kitchen/Bath EXPERT, JR (978-826-5434), drew a number for the prize of a $25 gift certificate at Marcos restaurante next door. Karen won it but gracefully declined since she won the BBQ grill donated by Home Depot last Summer at Michelle's Buy-FixUp-Sell ($100k profit:-0 The second drawing went to Fred Akker! "Mangia!"

January is almost over… and you know what that means.

It’s about that time when most people’s New Year’s resolutions begin to, well... fizzle out.

• Make more money...
• Get in better shape...
• Spend more time with family...

Here’s what I’ve figured out. No matter what our “specifics” are for wanting from our businesses, we all want the same thing in the end: freedom.
