three-ward view
It was recently pointed out that the house – perched on a corner with excellent visibility from the second floor – has a three-ward view of our city. This is a fact that I happily haven’t been able to get over.
I got my first rent check last week. It’s a strange feeling to look at a check of that size knowing that you’ll be getting one just like it every month (oh and then there is your other tenant who pays you later in the month so that check will be coming every month, too).
I seriously don’t know why more people I know don’t own multi-family homes. I mean, unless I start having tons of kids, this space up here on the second floor is plenty for me. I have to keep reminding myself that the hassles of being a landlord are yet to come. It may not always be like this. Still, I think I got a pretty sweet deal, what with some quiet, respecting tenants here already.
Is it sickening that I keep talking about this great house? I have to keep tabs on that.

Actually, no. I’m pissed you’re not talking about it *more*.
Enquiring minds want to know!

I’m with jbo. Tell us more, more, more! Excruciating detail, please!!

Of course I’m not pissed. Pissed was not the word I was looking for. Furious is more like it.
I’m pounding my fist on the conference table right now.

And because I like you, I hope you never find out why. But I have a feeling you may, down the line.
But congrats, and as a fan of HGTV, I agree with others–yes, more details are welcome!

I guess the only downsize of the cheques coming is that you’ll have to get up at any hour to solve plumbing/heating problems. The mortgage helper is great if you don’t mind living with other people!
keep talking…it’s exciting!!!!!
