Rental property managers, finish this sentence. I am thankful I am a property manager because. This is a rough time of year for rental property managers. The work is harsh, and usually goes unappreciated. When it snows, they are breaking their back shoveling so tenants keep their feet nicely warm and dry. When the temperature falls below zero, they are fixing a fence to keep the bad guys out. The falling temperature drops the patient level in tenants, so rental property managers are solving tenant versus tenant disputes along with tenant versus landlord disputes. They are fixing cracked pipes from the freezing water. And they are frustrated with tenants who are still penniless from the holidays and cannot pay their rent. So, that is why you need to write a thankful letter, to remind yourself why you love your job.
