Day 7 on fixing my rental

Today I went to my rental after work. It is a Saturday but it is my weekend to work, so instead of going straight to the house like I would’ve liked, I had to make sure I took care of things at my job first.

Today’s job was to paint. For 4 hours all I did was paint.

These rooms are disgusting. I don’t understand how some parents let their kids draw all over the walls and put glue and other junk all over it. The paint and primer I’m using has got me down from 4 to 5 coats all the way to 2. That’s really saving me a lot of time.

One of the rooms after painting it. It was originally covered with stains everywhere.

What I accomplished today

  • Painted the hallway and one of the 3 rooms at the rental house.
  • Did some miscellaneous work such as caulk some cracks in the kitchen, and remove a strip of drywall. Prepping for when I have to go and start working on the kitchen.
  • Uploaded 7 YouTube videos

And also, there’s a tenant that keeps bothering me about a FEMA application. He’s been very shady so I’m not sure if this relationship is going to last long. If he pays rent then I’ll keep him there, if he tries some bullshit then I’m going to have to get him out of investment property 3. He’s testing my patience, but for now I’m trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Mainly because I have other things I’m dealing with right now.

On another note: Next week is my mom’s birthday so now I want to make sure I finish the investment property this week. Come next Saturday I’d like to have it up on the market. In other words, this week is going to be a long and tough one.

Total hours worked: 4 hours

Total hours worked on rental: 41.5 hours

Tomorrow

  • I have to go to work again
  • After work, meet parents at the rental house. My stepdad and I are going to take down the last piece of the old fence and put up a new one.
  • Upload 5 YouTube videos if possible to the product channel.
  • If possible, I want to try to make a new video for the main channel. That’s assuming the fence is up at a decent time. Typically these projects take longer than we always expect.
