I just read about the 21 day challenge and I would like to be part of it. --71.93.xxx.xx

Thank you for the great community! --96.46.xxx.xx

I started here about 2002, haven't been on too regular though, depends on business of seasons if I'm online or not. --184.102.xxx.xxx

2003 using a few different handles. --66.169.xxx.xxx

early 2000, first cruse with Jeffery when he didn’t have any grey hair:} --47.202.xxx.xxx

Too long... around 2010. --47.216.xx.xxx

I'm not positive but I think it was back in the mid to late 1990s that I met my very first "Imaginary Axe Murdering Internet Friend" on Jeffrey Taylor aka Mr LandLord's amazing site. --71.174.xxx.xx

Thank you all so much. --47.188.xx.xxx

About 2018...I was late to the party. --99.92.xxx.xxx

2005 after Jeffrey visited our apartment owners association meeting. --199.116.xxx.xxx

I will wait for Carolyn's time line as i arrived just after her. This is where we first met! If i had to guess its from the beginning. Met the posters here first time face to face in St.Louis at the first ever Convention! Thanks Jeffrey! --99.203.xx.xxx

I've been around here so long that I remember when people were sure Aldo owned the site! --76.189.xxx.xxx

--71.213.xx.xx

--107.77.xxx.xx

I've been on the site since 2009. Learned so much and always more to learn as times change. Thanks Jeffrey for a wonderful site for all of us landlords to know we are not alone. --155.188.xxx.xx

1999. Aldo, Sean, Radar, etc. long gone, but not forgotten. --142.54.xx.xxx

2008 - driven here by terrible (and poorly vetted, my bad)tenants. I learned Aldo's Rule that the "landlord is in charge, the tenant is not in charge", and the ensuing 12 years have gone MUCH better! --151.197.xxx.xx

Unnecessary white noise and opunuons i dont need --71.207.xx.xx

Probably 8-10 years. I come here in times for need for sure! There is always some scenario that comes up that would be better served with time to cool down, think it out and getting input from others. --32.211.xxx.xxx

--50.105.xxx.xx

A question for Jeffrey. How long has the Landlord Forum been available online? --99.165.xx.xxx

This year Mr Landlord, as an organization, is celebrating 35 years serving rental property owners nationwide. 1985 is when the Mr Landlord newsletter was first published. However, MrLandlord.com, the website and the Q&A Forum has been available online since 1997/98. --70.161.xxx.xxx

Jeff,you don’t look that old,must be the air............Charlie --32.214.xxx.xx

Used to go to talk to Mark Haroldson in the Hotel on International Drive in Orlando way back when the old dog was a pup,now the old dog is long gone!..........,,,,,,,,,,.,,charlie --32.214.xxx.xx

So Karen,you may be much older than you think you are?..........,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, charlie --32.214.xxx.xx

Since late summer of 2000 when I got my first property. I posted a lot the first 10 or so years now mostly just read what others have to say. --73.166.xxx.xxx

I just discovered Mrlandlord! Loving the discussions. --73.218.xxx.xx

I think since around 2004, when we bought our 6 unit, 3 building mess. --70.20.xx.xx

I had the pleasure to speak just last year at an event in Utah where he was also a guest instructor. Before starting my presentation I had the opportunity to publicly thank him for the opportunity he gave me nearly 30 years earlier. And Charlie, he was still going strong and enjoying life. --70.161.xxx.xxx

I'm a landlord because my dad was one. In my dad's small real estate library, he had two books by Mark O. Haroldsen. They are "Financial Genius" and "The Best Real Estate Deal I Ever Did . . .". I've still got those two books and value them greatly. I have read them several times in my life and I need to go back and read them again. --99.165.xx.xxx

I just noticed I have another one of Haroldsen's book that was my dad's. The book is called, "The Courage To Be Rich". I need to get them unburied from my current book shelves and re-read them. They are always a great source of inspiration. --99.165.xx.xxx

If you do remember or know of them, who is/was a favorite of yours? Or, please share someone else who was teaching more than 30 years ago that you found helpful in getting you started or succeeding in real estate. --70.161.xxx.xxx

I love to spend my vacation time reading books, especially real estate books. --99.165.xx.xxx

Now I only have occasional landlording questions, but stick around because it's interesting to observe the political views of people from around the country. --73.231.xxx.xxx

10 years easily. --172.58.xx.xxx

--71.93.xxx.xx

Ruth one of the posters from somewhere in one of the lower Midwest states impressed me with her determination. She was basically confined to her house due to a variety of ailments yet continued to manage & even supervise people that worked on her properties. --71.174.xxx.xx

--71.93.xxx.xx

I don't remember, a long time ado. My wife and I loved Jeffrey's cruises Heartbroken when a doctor said I couldn't go any longer. When I got cleared to go they were no more. BTW I remember Miller & Schaub as a team. --100.36.xxx.xxx

--73.102.xxx.xxx

I remember Wallace was a woman I think. There was another lady who I think was a lawyer but I can’t remember her name. Oh, I think that was Nancy from Mi. And can anyone tell me what happened to Sean from Ca. .? And where did Aldo go? --73.166.xxx.xxx

BRAD --73.102.xxx.xxx

Mike, Aldo moved to Florida and actually joined us as a surprise guest at one of our Conventions a couple of years ago, where I recognized him for his unequal and many years of contributions to the site when it first got started. --70.161.xxx.xxx

Thanks Jeffrey. And I never have said this in all the years I have been coming here but thanks for this site! It Has kept me on the right track and out of trouble many times! --73.166.xxx.xxx
