Sometimes I like being a landlord...

[Brian Hunt]

Yesterday was not one of those days.  I'm a truck driver by day through the week and Tuesday I got called out on an overnight run.  I woke up about 7:30 Tuesday evening, got everything ready to go, showered, gathered all my stuff up, put my little girl off to bed, talked to my wife for a few minutes, and took off about midnight.  Drove to Mogadore, OH for an 8 am delivery, then turned and headed back to Springfield, OH for a pickup to come home with.  All and all about 760 miles. Anyway, I got home and plopped down on the couch, peeled my shoes off, was watching a tv show when the back door doorbell rang.  You have my attention...no one rings my doorbell at 9 pm.  I walk out to my neighbor standing on my porch.  He says, "Hey, a big limb just fell out of one of your trees."  I go to investigate and half the tree had broke off and landed on top of one of my rental trailers.  I survey the damage to the back side and don't see anything too bad, just some cosmetic stuff.  Then I walk around to the front.  I shine my flashlight up and see a branch about 4" in diameter sticking straight up on top of the trailer.  This can't be good.  As it turns out...it wasn't.  A 7' long, 4" diameter branch javelined itself through the roof, through the ceiling, and into the living room of the trailer.  After about 20 minutes, a chainsaw, a hammer, a prybar, wire, and pliers, we got it out of the roof.  This was much more entertaining when I was on the other end of the renting spectrum.

Add a few dozen more trailers to your property and you will be a bad a**.  

Don't stop. Keep the momentum.

 As soon as I move out of here.  Lol. We only owe about $40,000 more on the property and it's paid for.  We've been working on a woman to sell us her 3 bed/2 bath home with an inground pool, guest house, and 40x100 pole barn all sitting on 18 acres, but she's not quite ready to let go just yet.
