 LandLord's

  With the thought in mind that many homeowners will become renters, I have this to say  LANDLORD'S LISTEN UP!  The wisest property manager I know has filled her buildings with families who lost their homes in short sales.  She has found that people who had short sales had an impeccable credit history until their credit score was hit because of the inability to pay the mortgage. These folks have pride of ownership and a history of meeting their financial obligations. Short-sighted landlords only look at the credit number and never take the time to find out the true credit history. This is a great time for landlords especially if your tenants are responsible people who went through the short sale process and did not just walk away from their homes.  Don't tell them they can never go home again! Let them "click their heels three times and say: “There's no place like home."
