We're Landlords!

That sounds kind of weird...lol! I never pictured myself as a landlord..but I am. We rented out our house a few months ago, and today we experienced one of the many joys of being a landlord...toilet repair...lol! Our renter called and said that they thought the toilet was leaking....fun! Turns out the wax ring needed to be replaced. It was a whopping $4.00 repair. I love those kinds of repairs...lol!

They eventually would like to buy the house, and are doing some things to fix it up on their own. They discovered the toilet leak while they were replacing the tile in the bathroom. The also would like to put in a stainless steel backsplash and hardwood floors.Which is fine with me...less money out of our pocket..which is always good. They are great renters so far...which I know are not easy to come by. So I'm very happy. It's nice not having to worry about your property being damaged.

I know our experience is not the typical one...so do any of you have any horror stories you would like to share?
