The Quest For The Emerald Leaf

NO VACANCIES

Had two vacancies in August. They are both now rented.

I did lower my prices a little.

One unit I lowered by 6%. I rented it almost immediately.

The other unit I lowered gradually over the course of a month.

When I had gotten the price down by 17%, someone stepped forward and took it.

I really believe that if people are willing to take less, they will be employed. Holding out is a bad strategy. There is nothing wrong here with our economy that can't be fixed with a little humility.

Nice Hat


Falling Rents

I finally have a vacancy in a Santa Monica apartment. First one this year.
I have been trying to rent it for about three weeks with no success.
I have dropped the price 14% so far from what I was getting. Two bedroom one bath

But I also just rented a one bedroom very easily (before the old tenant was even done moving out) after dropping the price only 6%.

Things are heating up around Los Angeles.

Traffic is heavy. Shoppers are out shopping. Looks like things are already getting over-heated.

The next twelve months should be interesting.
Good service, a good product, a good price. Those are the keys to good sales.

BULLS RUNNING

July 23, 2009

S&P 500 trades above 971 taking out previous recovery high of 956 set June 11.

The bears are still calling for corrections and new lows but the market is saying something.

"YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN."

The diligent
the honest
the prudent
the generous

always lead us the greater prosperity

Tally-O

Tally-Hi-Ho. Everyone hides except the person who's it. This person calls out tally hi-ho to which everyone must echo unless the person is within close proximity. Once found, the person must be correctly identified, otherwise they are safe.People can choose to hide together if they wish.

OPINION

There is one thing you can never foretell and that thing is the future.
