It's a while since I wrote on this blog, but that's how this project is progressing........very slowly.
I have at least rented out the duplex on a short term lease, though even that was not without associated stresses. One guy, a truckie, was pretty desperate to move into my little duplex, but I wasn't convinced that was all that was on his mind, so I shied away from his application.
Then I had to make a choice between a well spoken middle aged couple, who seemed to be exactly what I was looking for or a young Japanese lady with two young children. I was torn between the need of the young woman who was leaving her husband, or the couple I thought would be ideal.
I have to confess, mainly due to the problems I'd had with my previous tenant that I went with what I thought was the safer option; the couple. But the adage, 'Don't judge a book by its cover," came back to haunt me when I discovered they weren't very financial and had, as they put it, "a temporary short term cash flow problem". Ho hum here we go I thought, pardon the cynicism, but I have been there before.
Anyway. we have come to an agreement and touch wood all seems to be working out. Hopefully I don't have cause to rewrite this.
