The house is pretty much ready to rent out. I already have some tenants that want to move in mid December. This weekend I will be writing up the lease and getting together their welcome sheet. I got this idea of writing all the \u201cneed to knows\u201d in 1 page that I can give to the tenants after they move in. I already typed up the first draft, and it contains the utility companies and the phone numbers, the mailbox number, my phone number and address, and I would add the internet provider but I do not remember which ones they were. I should probably call around to find out what providers I have and list those down as well. I think from now on I will be doing that to all of my rentals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personal finances<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto also has been soaring since the elections, so I sold all my cardano (at the very top of $1.15 a share before the pullback to $0.98) and used the profits to pay off the remaining $1000 dollars that I owed my stepdad for his half of the 3rd rental property. So I officially own 100 percent of that property now. I also paid off the balance on most of my credit cards, bringing me back down to a comfortable level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other issues<\/strong> <strong>I had<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While in the middle of my project to fix up rental property #2, I received a call about rental property 1 that the water heater was acting up because the water was too hot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after, the water heater stopped producing hot water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I went over one day to change the thermostat.
