First day as a landlord problems 😂
So I’ve nearly got my first day as a landlord in the books until I get a call from my tenant….
The top loader laundry machine explodes. Apparently during its first run, the drum comes loose and blows the front off the which causes the washer to drain onto the newly installed carpets and proceeds to flood the basement.
Glad I bought a dehumidifier yesterday and had a bunch of towels lying around 😂😂😂. We’re getting it cleaned up and I am off to Home Depot tomorrow to get another new washer!
Who knew being a real estate investor was so glamorous 😂😂😂
