brak up




Haha - I wish Anyway, I got two very very good applicants for the apartment on Friday night.

Oooh, first an aside story to let you know how absolutely fucking frustrating this business can be. I set appointments up maximum two days before showing because otherwise people find something and cancel on me. At 2pm Friday afternoon I made an appointment with "Missy". She really wanted to come see it but worked until 6 so made an appointment for 7:15. It would have been my last appointment of the day. At 6:15 "Trish" called me and booked for 7:30. I figured I might as well just stay there (my 6:45 showed up at 6:30, my 6:30 didnapos;t show up at all, so I had to wait around for an hour).

Anyway, "Missy" never showed up at 7:15 and Trish never showed up at 7:30 Gah They had talked to me mere HOURS before No calls to cancel or re-schedule, just no-shows. Then, to top it all off, Missy emailed me YESTERDAY (Tuesday) to say that sheapos;d had to work late on Friday and could she please come see the apartment today? DKFakhIHJFKDSJ$@*(@(#*~

Phew. I feel better now. Anyway. The tenants. Two very good applicants - one a young (27)recently engaged couple, both working at decent jobs, seem very with it and intelligent, getting married next September and saving their money accordingly. I would place good money on a bet that they buy and move before a year is up. They say 2 years - we shall see. The second a mid-40s woman and her boyfriend, moving from Owen Sound. No job lined up yet, but will be easy to get one since sheapos;s a cleaning lady, and a sizeable amount in the bank from proceeds of home sale after a divorce last year. Her daughterapos;s fiance is dying of leukemia here in Hamilton and she wants to be nearer, and along with that, farther from her ex (not the daughterapos;s father). Sheapos;ll probably be here for awhile, but the no job right now thing is sticky.

We decided to go with the kids. It was a tough decision and I really got a good feeling from the mom. So I went on a hunch and offered her the 1-bed 3rd floor at the new house (yes, the one I donapos;t even own yet). She may only be there for a few months but it gets me through the winter and I can concentrate solely on getting the 3-bed fixed, painted, and rented before Christmas. Itapos;s quite a bit smaller than the Lottridge 1-bed but she accepted On photos She just wants to get down here and take care of her daughter. I am guessing that when the fiance dies sheapos;ll move out, but itapos;ll be spring by then (sheapos;s moving in Dec. 1).

Anyway, everyone is happy and I am totally awesome.

belvidere il school district, brak up.
