It\u2019s official, I\u2019m going to be moving out of this condo and into the other rental property much sooner than expected. I spoke to the current tenants, and they said I could start moving in as early as next week since they\u2019re almost done clearing out the house. They\u2019re just finishing up restoring everything to its original condition. The only catch is that I\u2019ll need to find a new tenant for this condo before November. If that doesn\u2019t happen, I\u2019ll just stay here until the end of the month. I don\u2019t want to rush the process if it\u2019s not necessary. Thankfully, the tenant offered to help me rent out the condo since it might be easier for him to handle that side of things while I focus on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve already told my wife what\u2019s going on, and she\u2019s on board, but this move is shaping up to be a lot more expensive than I originally thought. I\u2019ll have to pay the contractor to replace the toilet, switch out the curtains, and do a deep cleaning of the condo before it\u2019s listed. While he\u2019s doing that, I\u2019ll be tackling work on the other rental that had water intrusion issues. On top of that, the property we\u2019re moving into needs to be painted because my wife wants it to feel more like home. There are also a few repairs that might require another contractor, which means more costs and coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for the water intrusion problem, the contractor inspected the area and had to tear out some drywall to trace the leak. Turns out the issue was coming from the sides of the door. The first contractor I hired for that job really messed it up, so now the entire door needs to be removed and reinstalled. The new contractor offered to do the work without charging for the door itself, only for reinstalling the drywall afterward. He said it\u2019s a heavy door, so I offered to help. That\u2019ll give me a chance to practice my drywall skills since they could still use a little fine-tuning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If everything I\u2019m planning actually moves forward, my to-do list is about to explode. It feels like I\u2019m about to enter a storm, one that\u2019s going to test my patience, finances, and organization. But honestly, I think I\u2019m ready for it. I\u2019ve been through worse, and I\u2019ve learned a lot from the chaos of the past few years. This time, I have a solid plan, a better mindset, and the experience to handle whatever this storm throws my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
