Update on old topic about Property manager and professional tenants

[Tatyana E.]

Hi all,

A few months ago I came to this forum and begged for help. Back then I got a rental house, hired a professional property manager and she got me professional tenants.

You guys helped me A LOT with tons of invaluable advice, both on forum and in private, and if it wasn't about you I don't know where I could be today.

Here is a quick update on my situation.

October 20th - meeting with eviction attorney
November 23rd - tenants got evicted from the house
November 24rd - cleaned the house and left for Thanksgiving and shortly after that for Hawaii on vacation. Everything was planned long before, I couldn't change dates
December 11th - back from Hawaii, quick cleaning of the house, put the house on the market
Lots of interest, lots of showings, 4 applications
December 17th - signed a lease starting Januarty 1st with a couple who in my opinion are ideal tenants and way exceed all my expectations - very nice people in mid 40s, making 7 times rent (and the rent is $1700), short saling their mansion, no other debts other than mortgage, excellent credit history, children are in college out of area and will only visit on holidays, clean freaks in the best meaning of this word - we signed lease at their place and it was spotless.

Lesson learned, no more property management, I can do everything myself

Once again, thank you very much, guys, I don't have enough words to tell you how much I appreciate all your help and support
