Another Landlord 101 class is in the books! Steve Szumigale and I completed the last of the 4-session course offered by the Apartment Association of Northwestern PA with 24 enthusiastic new and not-so-new Erie area landlords last evening. Many thanks to Jeff Potts of NorthStar Erie mortgage brokers and Billy Norfolk of Lighthouse Insurance Agency for sponsoring the meals at all four sessions. We will likely offer another class in October.

Benny Fisher came to Erie for a face-to-face interview with me for his Big Fish Cares Podcast. While not putting an emphasis on the "how to" of operating rentals, Benny had some prying questions about my views and beliefs, and why I think that way. This one will certainly be interesting when it drops in several weeks.
