Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Your nephew has a great head on his shoulders! He knows how to run a profitable business with less work. Good for him.
This is why I understood that my husband wasn’t interested in rental property. He saw it as a headache. It certainly can become a nightmare.
It’s a gamble finding the right tenants.
Your dad may have been a soft touch and unfortunately some people will take advantage of someone with a kind nature but there are some property owners who take advantage of tenants too. Your dad had empathy for others.
After Hurricane Katrina the rent doubled in New Orleans. Very sad! People lost their homes and landlords knew they had to have temporary places to live and not everyone lived in FEMA trailers.
Rent prices have gone up tremendously over the years. Landlords have to charge pet deposits and damage deposits or else they would be investing too much money for repairs.
I still think that I would have liked owning rental property with the right tenants. I always treated other people’s homes as I would have my own home. I always received my deposit back because I never damaged anything. I left the property very clean.
We have been in our house over 30 years. Like I told Glad, homes and cars are not maintenance free!
Sometimes I wish I lived in an apartment or condo and let others fix the issues. Hahaha
I was very fortunate to have great landlords when I was renting. Some people don’t and it’s a nightmare for them.
I wanted to purchase a duplex and rent out property but my husband was not interested in doing that at all. My aunt and uncle did that and the rent paid their mortgage. My husband’s grandparents had several properties that they rented out. They made lots of money during their lifetime.
Fortunately, they had great tenants but having bad tenants would be horrible. Having to evict someone would be an unpleasant experience.
Houses and cars are not maintenance free! They are necessary but a pain in the butt. Glad you finally have it sorted out.
My uncle was not a very good handyman and I remember as a child that everything was screwed up in his home. He had the money to pay someone to do proper repairs but he insisted that he could do it.
He had everything backwards! The light switches went the opposite ways of how they were supposed to be. He totally screwed up the plumbing, etc. He was cheap! Unfortunately, nothing worked in his home.
Two years was long enough, I guess!😕😧😀
go to YouTube and listen to "WHEN LIFE BREAKS YOU - Powerful Motivational Speech" dated Aug. 3, 2020 put out by Ben Lionel Scott.
May someone out there find it as powerful as I did!
Highways are always packed evacuating. We have our hotel reservations made in case we have to leave the city. We’re used to it but it’s a pain in the butt.
Prayers for all in the fire areas.
Weather Channel showing "Top 100 Weather Moments" tonight--5 shows in all. Very interesting! 🌀☁☃☔☀
We are suppose to get rain the next 3-4 days (with high winds). We need the rain for the corn, but not the wind. Corn stalks on the ground are extremely difficult to harvest. 🌽
Almost the same here, a strange golden glow in darker skies...I have never seen this weather condition before. Has lasted 2 days.
Fires are faraway, sunshine is barely peeking out.
Everyone, have a better day! 🌻🌻🌻🌞🌻🌻🌻
