Has it been 8 months since I updated!? Time has really flown
by. To be honest, I’ve been itching to
blog, but time just got away with me. I
have so much to tell, let’s take it one thing at a time.
First thing. I bought
another rental. That brings my total
number of properties to three (or 5 suites).
Sis wants to buy another one, and now Mom and Dad want one too. It’s funny.
When people hear about how much money we can make on rentals, everyone
wants to do it. It’s like the new fad
amongst our friends and family. But what
they don’t realize is the amount of work that goes into it. Well, Sis, Mom and Dad does because they have
had to help on occasion when Beau and I just didn’t have enough time.
This month we had two new sets of tenants move in. It basically consumed all of my free
time. Between interviewing potential
tenants, doing minor renovations, cleaning, painting, shopping for replacement
appliances, we were at one of the houses everyday after work or on the
weekends. One place, the oven took me 3
hours to clean. Sure we charged the
tenants money because they didn’t clean it.
But not enough to cover the 3 hours of pain and breathing in fumes (I
had to resort to Easy Off). How could someone be so dirty? This is something you cook food in!
Finally yesterday everyone moved in and we are scheduling a
weekend of catching up (on sleep, with friends, on laundry etc.). Phew!
