Tenant Improvements - When Should You and When You Must Say Yes
It can be difficult or uncomfortable to respond to reasonable tenant requests. Of course there are requests that must be agreed to and some that are in your favor to do. But what about all those tenant requests from good tenants that are reasonable, but after all it’s your cost.For the purposes of tenant improvement requests we see three different kinds of tenants.The New Tenant: Often the requests come during the approval process or at the move in inspection. All requests having to do with a clean and functional place should be done by the move in. You want to start of your new business relationship on a good note. Nothing worse than starting an argument you know you will lose...and all those bad feelings wont help when you make a reasonable request.Things we always say yes to:Generally, electrical improvements are fixed and add value and marketability to the unit. a.

What is Draining Your Resource Pool?
Imagine that your body is a car. Your fuel is obviously the food you put inside it, much like the gasoline you pump into the tank of any Ford, Chevy or Dodge etc. This fuel is converted into energy to propel you along your life’s course, physically and mentally. The car uses the spinning motion of the engine to generate electricity for the lights, radio, power windows, power brakes, sensors, air conditioning, safety equipment and so on. When you use more and more of these pieces of equipment on your car, your fuel is depleted faster and faster. Most of us have experienced the fuel drain when driving a long distance running the air conditioning on full blast versus how much fuel is used when the air conditioning on is not on. Or the drain on the engine when climbing a steep hill with air conditioning on versus much easier the car seems to negotiate that same hill without the air conditioning on.These same principles work on you in your daily life. As you go though your daily activities your level of energy needs rise along with your fuel consumption. If your working hard on a stressful job you use up energy quickly and your fuel level decreases. Pausing for a good meal, p

During the summer months, you can transport yourself back in time with reenactments and tours of the historical buildings on the Island.

Pictured Rocks – An awe-inspiring sight of multicolored sandstone cliffs lining Lake Superior.

Generating Multiple Income Streams
Everyone wants financial independence. I'm not talking about being really really rich - Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump sort of rich. Most people dream of that, but in reality, we don't need that much money to be happy. What we do need though is some form of security. A nice little income stream, or a tidy nest egg in our later years, for us to use as we please to rest and enjoy the fruit of our labour. A sum of money as a cushion in our bad times, or some money to help us see the kids through college.The actual amount varies from person to person. It depends on your needs. But I'm sure one of our greatest fears is outliving our money, as our life expectancies get longer. To end one's life poor and dependent on others for money is not part of that retirement dream. The sad truth is, the days of working for a good company, staying loyal, and then collecting a pension for life are gone.So what do most books on personal finance talk about ?One method I've noticed that comes up pretty often is what I call the scrimp and save method. There are variations , like save before you spend, but the basic priciple is the same. Live a life of relative austerity today, in
