What's next?

It's been over a month since I  last wrote in my blog and to be honest with you I still do not have a positive thought to write about.  This is what's going on..

1. Tenants have lost their jobs.
2. Tenants can not find new  jobs.
3. Tenants unemployment has not kicked in yet.
4. Tenants are waiting for financial help from government agencies.
5. Tenants  are waiting for tax refunds.
6. Tenants are now behind 2 months on their rent.

Where does that leave a barely gettin by landlord.......in a panic.  Anxious to find new ways to cut expenses and ways to increase income.  I haven't figured out how to increase income but to cut expenses I have:

1. Traded a truck for labor.
2. Got my family to volunteer labor.
3. Traded a rental debt for labor.
4. Learned to paint myself.
5. Worked late to keep up with the bookkeeping.
6. Prayed.

I am fortunate in that I am able to think outside of the box.  But what about the tenants!  What's next?
