Tax time has meant various things to me over the years, but in landlord speak it means paid rent. "Huh?" Really. Two of our tenants were desperately behind in their rent. In fact, Jana posted a 3-day eviction notice on one of them. The very next day she walked in the door with $1,770 in cash. The other tenant also walked in with a wad of cash to catch up. Both said it was a tax refund.
Don't get me wrong. I am very happy they are caught up and we desperately need the money to pay bills and make repairs. But I am concerned whether they will be able to remain current. I'm trying not to borrow worry.
Here's this weekend's to-do list:
#103
Replace medicine chests in both bathrooms
Replace light fixture in stairway
Paint upstairs bathroom
Replace bath faucet
Replace valve stems in lavatory faucet
Buy new drip pans for stove
Fix evaporation tray in refrigerator
Replace smoke detector
Spray paint the stairway and closets
Paint bathroom vanity
Check window coverings and replace if needed
Replace light fixture in kitchen and dining room
Ugh...that's not all, I'm just tired of listing things.
If you are thinking about becoming a landlord - think twice. Here's our experience managing rentals in northern Colorado.
