They were just luckier than the rest of us.

The harder people work usually the luckier they get.

I guess the people you have talked to are luckier than the landlords I have talked to.

I tried but didn't get a response however you might be luckier.

"The harder I work, the luckier I get."

Yea, I think in Delaware you may be luckier than most other places, especially since that is the smallest state. 

And the more people you reach, the luckier you get.

Even luckier, my grandfather (The developer) is going to replace all of our windows and put new siding on the house as a gift (The windows and siding are quite ugly, so assume the appraisal will only go up from there).The house is a mother-daughter type setup and when baby was on the way we knew we needed to act fast to start saving for babysitter and retirement, so grandpa turned the lower level into a proper 1 bedroom apartment which we now rent.

While it is better to be lucky than good, I find if I make good decisions, in the long run, I am luckier.

Keep up the good work ... the harder you work, the luckier you get.
