As we approach Thanksgiving and we ponder on what we have to be thankful for this year, I'm sure we're all thinking of our friends, our family, our health, etc. But with this crazy industry we work in, one where there's never a dull moment, there's a whole different meaning to the term "thankful." Here are the top 10 things you have to be thankful for this season when you're a property manager....
