I'm Really Ready To Be Stress Free!!

Janet · 09-01-2009, 02:27 PM

Thanks Linda!! I'm really nervous about it. I drove around the neighborhood where the house is and there are 3 other homes with FOR RENT signs in the yard. I think ours looks best, but we'll have to make it even more attractive and try not to spend too much.

Janet, will definitely be praying for you. Sounds like your mom is doing well now and I know it's tough getting used to your baby being on the road so much. We deal with that, too. Hope your rent house is rented very soon!!! Try some of those air fresheners with that plug in and warm the oil. I use the lavendar vanilla, and they make the house smell so good. Little things like this can make the home seem more inviting.

Thoughts and prayers are with you!!

Hey Janet, hope you're feeling better!

Janet · 09-02-2009, 06:01 AM

Thanks Marilyn...that's a great idea! Sandy..I'm feeling fine...just the stress. Talked with Mom this morning...she slept good again last night. So good to know she's getting rest. She asked if I was coming in town. We have spent so much time together that she is now starting to expect it. I still have lots to do. Keep this house up and getting ready to head to town to start working on it. Told her I would try to stop by for a minute or two.

I just don't want those guilty feelings to come back if I can't make it to her house when she wants me to. I don't want to deal with guilt and stress....lol. It will get better!

Or try the baked bread, cake, or cookies smell. They do that on the "Sell this home" shows!!!

Janet · 09-02-2009, 04:28 PM

You ladies are full of great ideas!!!!

Just a little suggestion if you haven't rented yet and there are a few rentals in your area. Try to find out how they compare to your place and if lets say for instance your rental is a two bedroom home, see what other two bedrooms are asking for, and go a little lower. Better to get a little less in this market than to have it empty.

Great idea Gina. We have checked about a few others in the area. Ours is the only one with a new furnace, new water heater and central air. The prices are a tad lower, so we are going a tad lower too...lol. We do have a couple interested and have filled out an application. Soon as I get them checked out we can hopefully have new tenants.

YAY!!! I hope they decide to rent it - I know that is a worry and has been lots of work for you these past few weeks. Maybe you are getting closer to having less stress!!!

Janet · 09-13-2009, 06:19 AM

I sure hope the stress is coming to an end...at least for a little while...

Everyone's advice has been really helpful. We're meeting another person interested in the house today... hopefully those who have applied.....check out as good potential renters.

judy · 09-14-2009, 05:25 AM

I just found this. Ii am sorry I had not sent you my loving thoughts and support before Janet!

These are all stressful things! My heart is with you. I hope these renters do come through.

Janet · 09-14-2009, 02:01 PM

Don't you feel bad at all Judy. I know you would have been supportive if you had seen the thread.

We may have a renter. I have to check him out tomorrow and then let him know. We both like him so far. Also...the lady across the street from this house came over and is interested in buying it. We may just sell. She said not to wait, go ahead and rent it and if she can get it, she'll already have a renter.

We really hadn't planned on selling, but we're seriously thinking about it. We wanted to be able to have it for retirement...a little extra coming in every month, but with renters...they move in....they move out....and then we have a lot of clean up to do. We are really thinking about it. Gina...what are your thoughts on this?
