I check in here from time to time to say Hello to those I worked with in the past, some of whom I miss greatly.
I was here when the number of visitors at this site was in the double digits and retired about 5 years ago after landording
for 39 years, 288 days and 3 hours. It was a wild ride but I enjoyed every minute of it.
For those who wonder, I stopped posting mostly because there are some really great mentors here and I usually
didn't check in until late evening. By that time all or most issues already had worthy replies and, except for
a few rare ones, there was simply nothing I could add.
Nothing else. I just wanted to stop in to say Hi.

Thanks for stopping by Aldo. I often think of you & the dozens of other posters who have so willingly shared their wisdom with us.
Having been able to seek out advice through this forum from experienced LLs such as Aldo, have enable me to become a successful LL. Thank you Aldo for being there when it counted.
Aldo's two rules of Landlording:
1 - The landlord is in charge.
2 - The tenant is not.

Glad you "Stopped by". Your rules for land lording are quoted regularly.
It doesn't matter that you are "retired" - you still have plenty of good experience to share.
Best wishes to you --70.160.xxx.xxx |

Aldo, I am newish to this site, but "Aldo's Rules of Landlording" are legendary!
Thank you for the wisdom you have shared over the years with the posters who now are sharing that wisdom with me.
All the best!

Thank you for all the kind words.
I miss posting here, but I have other interests which could suffer if I spent a lot of time searching for posts without an appropriate answer. Those are few and far between by the time I'd get here.
More than that, I miss all the great people I've met here at the live chat, the conventions, the cruises, the Midwest Landlord Compact meetings and some local get-togethers.
Jeffrey invited me to future conventions. I'll do my level best to attend the 2021 convention so I can meet and re-meet new and old friends.

Aldo,
The original Mr LL Rock Star!! Really enjoyed your posts 20 years ago when I was a newby and really needed advice. Now that I'm a seasoned and successful landlord, I sit back and watch the world go bye. Nice of you to check in.

Let me take this opportunity to thank you "personally". Your two rules of Landlording:
1 - The landlord is in charge.
2 - The tenant is not,
are the reason I am stress free today and not a landlord anymore. Your two rules helped me to make a safe exit from a situation just before the pandemic hit.
A heart-felt Thanks!

Hey! So good to hear from you! Aren't you the "Green Socks" guy???? "3rd" Rule. --47.133.xxx.xxx |
Just Passing Through (by ALDO [WI]) Posted on: Oct 27, 2020 5:25 PM Message:
Yes, I'm the Green socks guy. That's a secondary rule I often followed.
Really, I miss all of this even though there is little I can add to the great help all of you have extended to LL's with problems or questions.
But the main reason I stopped back one more once is to
extend my extreme gratitude for all the kind words posted here. Enough that I'm considering coming back more often, even if it's just to say Hi and maybe find some new friends

Also,if you ever make it to New Haven,there’s always an empty chair and a cup of coffee waiting, that is as long as you don’t show up too early in the day,I don’t like rolling out of bed too early,you could almost say,it’s against my religion,even though that might not go too well back in Northern Ireland......................charlie.................. --32.214.xxx.xx |

As an immigrant,I hate to put a damper on your cup of tea but the landlord is not in charge the local tax department is and the bank if you have a mortgage,so how could the landlord be anything but a glorified book keeper, of course that’s only a poor immigrant’s Point of view,you know ,from the oat and potatoes fields of Derry....................... ...........charlie
