Finally moving forward.

[Michael Hill]

My current primary residence was a foreclosure. I bought it because I needed somewhere inexpensive to stay during and after a divorce. My intention was to eventually fix it up, buy a second house, then rent this one out. Well it's time. I've already put an egress window in my basement (it's finished) so it can be used as a bedroom (there's a closet and full bath down there too). I've already replaced the flooring and toilet in the upstairs bathroom. I've already replaced the rotted privacy fencing. I still need paint, carpet new linoleum in the kitchen and tub/surround in the bathroom and it'll be ready to rent. I've got a HELOC on this house which helps tremendously. I've got cash reserves and I've begun looking for another house to buy as my primary. I must say I'm very excited but also a little bit nervous to take this next step. Thanks to BP for being a wealth of inspiration up to this point and in the future. I've already paid for a membership at ezlandlord forms and have those documents in order. I've also read the stickies about screening tenants and such. I believe I'm ready. So thank you!
