I simply cannot convey the proper amount of happiness to you when I write this, but be assured, I’m downright giddy. After 10.5 long hard months my husband has finally completed renovations on our rental property. It was definitely worth doing the work as our hope is that our rental property can become a steady source of income for us going into the future, so we’re viewing all the renovations as necessary investments. Plus, they make the property far more appealing to prospective tenants. We’re looking into contacting a company like Mountain Retreats property management as we think that their services could be useful in getting suitable tenants in our property faster and also taking some of the responsibility of maintaining it off our shoulders.

I’m simply overjoyed that he won’t have to be spending the majority of spare time in the evenings and on the weekends at the other house. And I have to say, all of his hard work has definitely paid off. The place looks amazing. I’m so lucky to have a husband who has such knowledge, motivation, drive, and determination. I’m thankful that he has the know-how to take on a huge project like this. We’re now in the process of finding one of the many apartment rental management companies in our area to get this thing earning us some cash!

Don’t worry, I will share some before & after pictures from the renovations at a later date. We highly recommend getting into the property rentals business, find out how to calculate roi on rental property here.
Tonight Michael put the finishing touches on, and we handed the keys over to our new tenant. Earlier today we did the inspection, and Henry checked every single door in the place. They all work. They all slam. And the floors are just right for running in circles. So in his book the place is alright. And I found a very old newspaper in a dusty old closet in the stairwell. This house has such a rich history, I’m so glad we bought it, and so happy that my husband took such pains to make it beautiful again.
