Rent to own Video: Chris Bolin, Bolin Rental Purchase
This Rent to Own Video brought to you by APRO's RTOHQ.org 
Chris Bolin could likely be the hardest working rent-to-own dealer in the business.
Bolin, who owns two Bolin Rental Purchase stores in Kentucky and Tennessee, serves as both president and vice president of those two state's rental dealer association's respectively. Last month The Association of Progressive Rental Organizations honored Bolin for his work by naming him the APRO Rent-to-Own Dealer of the Year at the association's annual awards banquet last month. Bolin was one of 233 rent-to-own dealers who attended the fifth annual Midwest RTO Training Expo this week in Columbus, Ohio, where 31 percent (72) of the total attendance was from Kentucky alone. In this exclusive APRO video, Bolin describes the importance of the Expo's training emphasis to both himself and his employees, the progressive decision by the Ohio Rental Dealers Association to share revenue from the show with participating state associations and the importance of getting to know your elected officials in an election year. | |

The Year of the Tiger According to Chinese astrology, the Year of the Tiger begins in February 2010. Tiger John Cleek is making the most of it as he winds down his two-year term as APRO’s president. He reflects on personal and industry-wide accomplishments and the love of family that sustains him.
In the 30-year history of the Association of Progressive Rental Organizations, 17 rental dealers have served as president. To mark APRO’s special anniversary, 15 of these leaders share their experiences in helping to shape the rent-to-own industry.
The Keep Rate Conundrum Calculating keep rate does not seem to improve the rent-to-own business in any discernible way—and yet this calculation, beyond all the others, has had enormous legal and political implications for rent-to-own almost since its inception.
Vendor Spotlight: What's in a Name? These three departed rent-to-own vendors--Joe Eason, Tom Kitchens and Norm Smith--live on, their names indelibly linked to key industry events and honors.
