Popular Post Dirtyhip Posted December 12, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted December 12, 2018 We have rid ourselves of the rental home. It recorded. Now, I can be very thankful. I wasn't convinced that we closed anything, until it funded and recorded. So thankful that the water heater, furnace and fridge lasted 22 years. So glad to rid ourselves of an additional responsibility. No more calls. No more screening and stressing. No more legal consultations, or unexpected bills to repair things. This deal was teetering on a delicate balance, but the FHA stuff all went through. 17 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted December 12, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 12, 2018 I don't know how you landlords do it. Lots of people want to own rental property, but it would drive me nuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be picturing Michael Keaton in Pacific Heights the whole time. So no more Chickenville! Congrats, DH! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our dealings, we were pretty cautious with people. 2 hours ago, Road Runner said: I don't know how you landlords do it. Lots of people want to own rental property, but it would drive me nuts. It was a long arduous journey. It was lucrative, but work is still work. It worked out very well for us. Strangers paid off the house as we floated it. We were lucky. No one really tore things up, and in ten years, we never had a tenant pay us late for that rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you going to celebrate? i would be taking big happy breaths all day, eating nice foods, giving K a massage, possibly having an edible. Enjoy this day of freedom! I am celebrating by sharing the love to some others. Last night my husband came home. He and I both knew that it closed and funded. I was in the process of making us tuna sammies. We didn't go to dinner. He said "No celebration?" I replied "Not yet, today, was a down day in the stock market. Money doesn't grow on trees, Y'know." It was my W. Buffet funny. He laughed and we ate tuna sammies and played chess, then an early bed time. HAHA I am so boring. We will most likely celebrate soon. I am going to take the trust deed and loan payoff statement out of the safe, and burn them both. It's the end of an era. He and I were joking around. I said, now we really could move to Kauai, and live in a van. ? Then we tossed jokes back and forth about the Kauai experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that winter is historically bad for home sales, but ours had an offer one week after the tenants moved out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stupid new people have not turned on theirs. This is a smart meter, which means it shuts off immediately. I opted to run power for them, until 5 pm. I called the realtor and said "tell those people to get on it. Power is going off at 5pm. They must turn on power, or risk frozen pipes." Not sure if they would freeze that fast, because there is insulation, but still...in a frozen place you have to run heat to the houses to keep things all safe.
