Finely got back on to see what's happening here. Been pretty slow

I was in the yearly sales meeting for 4 days. Great fun there........................not

Starting to paint and recarpet the whole house. Not looking forward to it at all

 

then don't!! put in hardwoods.

EVERY free moment i get is spent trying to improve our place. took 2200 lbs of the previous owner's garbage to the dump this weekend. man that POs me that I spent the kind of $$ I did on this place, then have to spend an entire day cleaning up his trash, taking it to the dump, and paying the dump fees. Recourse?? for a few hundred bucks I might get, not worth the hassle. there should be a seller holdback of like $1,000 for 30 days, during which the buyer can dispute/lay claim to $$ for deficiencies. the realtors can arbitrate....I dunno..just makes me mad.

well, we repaired the fence & gate today (the one I took out with my quad & quad trailer). I used quads & 2 winches today, to put a building back in place that recently blew over in the wind storm. it was an open, 3-sided horse stall. then had to repair all the siding damage, level the walls, etc.. Even got the rental place ready for the new renter. Man, was the dryer vent & ducting ever plugged full of lint. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Our very first renters had to leave after 3 months but they had signed a year lease. Just got a letter Saturday that they paid 6 months now and the last couple months will be paid monthly until paid in full. They left the place clean and gave the keys back without any problems at all. I guess I'm very lucky with this one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

do you get to keep all that $$ if you re-rent?

my mess was left by the previous OWNER. the renter moved the majority of her junk.

 

yes, it's mine minus 8% from what the management company takes. Fine with me 'cause I don't mess with it at all. I have only drove by the place once since I purchased it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I thought I would be all over it but I just treat it as a business and don't get attached to it. Hire someone to mess with the details plus it's in AZ so I can't be there all the time. It's not in the valley where I'm at most of the time.

 

Our landlord used to use a property management company, but wasn't happy with them, at all. He's never bugged us in 3 years. I get a receipt in the mail once a month for rent we paid (pay it directly at credit union since we both use the same one) that might have a note about the gardners doing work (overseading in fall, trimming, etc.) That's it. The yard was trashed before we moved in. He fired the prop. mgmt. company, said he'd do it himself. Spent a decent amount to get the yards all cleaned up.

That's cool but I just can't be on top of everything when things pop up (yeh, I know you'll jump on this one)

 

On top....pop up.... Let's see if that brings Hoss out to play.
