my last 2 rentals were rented to friends from church, rented for about 1/2 of market rental price. first one was over $20,000.00 to remodel plus 3 loads of trash in my 16' dump trailer (I paid for trash service, they didn't use it)
the other on was worse, I started cleaning dog doo off the enclosed back porch with a scoop shovel and a wheel barrow, then they took all the furniture, it was fully furnished, including dishes.

 

WTF is wrong with people? That is absolutely shameful.

 

right!
I used to be a people person but people ruined that.

 

I've type several responses and erased all of them. People like that suck and need perpetual beatings to remind them how not to act.

 

Just a quick fly by to say hi. Mud on the jobsite has been terrible. Hasn't been cold enough to freeze, but we've had plenty of weather. In Fact Utah's snowpack tops the west.

I've got the muck boots in the truck

 

Thanks for checking in Jon! I've heard about the snow and the MUD out there!

Anyone hear from Bruce? I haven't seen him check in lately.

 

The more I am around people, the more I like my dogs! My circle of friends is very small……..on purpose!
My definition of “friend”……..the person I can trust with my checkbook AND my spouse!

 

Howdy guys!

Happy Wednesday!
Conditions in the mountains are not great but the boy and I are still going to head out to do some sledding tomorrow afternoon.
Sounds like ice with 1" of snow on top.
Some snow is better than no snow LOL

At one time we had 3 rental properties. Not sure how I ever thought that was a good idea ... or that it would ever make us any money...
Currently one vacant and for sale and one rented to the sister in law (which we will just give to her eventually) so I am ALMOST out
We never really had any terrible experiences it was always just a pain in the azz.
This is one of the condos that is currently for sale.

Anyway .... I will be glad to be done with it, thats for sure.

But I guess we still have to sell our house too ....
Wife wants to list it now .. I want to wait until AFTER we move.

Have a good day everyone!!

 

Desert southwest? Yeah right.

 

Howdy all. Wet down here, dusting of snow up there.

There is no way that I think I would ever get into rentals without the Prop Mgt Co that we have. So far it’s been worry free, 100% occupancy, and 99% hands off for us. We have a couple of friends that handle their own and the stories they tell…..well, that’s just not our cup of tea. We’d have to sell it.

 

Bart we were supposed to get rain today, turning to snow Thursday afternoon and Friday morning
I came home early today, 3" of new snow. hiway is a mess.

I kept the tires/Wheels off my 2020 truck. Now with 11,000 miles on my 2023 truck, those tires are over 50,000 miles. I've still got 5 of 6/32s of tread. And if it was dry weather I'd run them. But I'm getting a little nervous. Don't want to be hauling horses over mountain passes to St George in February/March and have 4-5" of snow on freeway with worn tires, I guess I figure I got the 50,000 out of them that Mickey Thompson warranted. Be happy and move on.

So I may spend this snow day, tire shopping

 

And I thinnk we are in fo another “blizzard” too. Likely have a couple inches on the ground by 0800 or so!!!!!!!

Got my new axles today……they are installed in the diff. Still waitingt on the new bearings tho. Upon inspection my old ones are still good; but since I am here I will put new ones in. Not much more work to do it right.

 

Nice work Don, it's a good time to change the diff/gear lube while you're in there .........

nice condo Darren, good luck with the move and all

 

That was done recently

 

Took the F-350 into the dealer this afternoon for the steering stabilizer and rear camera recalls. I asked them to look at the engine oil leak on the passenger side just above the oil filter. Might be the upper oil pan.
