    They say most people would rather be in the coffin than giving the eulogy at a funeral.  The fear of public speaking is a real thing and feels an awful lot like the fear of being a first-time landlord.  Toastmasters is a great organization who helps build confidence in not only public speaking, but in life.  Recently I was asked to speak about rentals at a Toastmasters Club called “Money Matters” and the meeting was all about rentals.  In fact, the meeting was so much about rentals, that I have asked two of the Toastmasters from the Money Matters Club today to join me in a roundtable of rental questions.  Hear us discuss many topics that we didn't get to during the meeting.  Enjoy!
