Antoine, the property value is expected to increase tremendously within the next couple of years due mostly to location.

Todd, we may explore those options - Creating a new wall all around may be our best option, it may also enforce the field stone from ever moving inward but we will see.. Thank you! 

We had rented out our top unit to a seemingly nice couple, no credit and nothing for background - Sounds OK right? Well, one thing those don't tell you if they're just a pain in the *** for ***** and giggles.. I can't tell if I'm just easily annoyed because being a landlord is new to me or if they're just ungrateful. The entire house was beautifully renovated, there really shouldn't be a thing to complain about - So, with that being said, we actually get complaints about every other week and they've been in there for about 2 months. 

- "There's a gap at the top of the door, can something be done about that?".. The house is not level and the gap does not expose them to any weather.

- "Can you remove this railing? My cat climbs on it and we're afraid he's going to fall and get hurt... No? Ok can you install a door for us?".. Sounds like a YOU problem

- "The water pressure isn't the best"

ALSO, when they did a walk through, the woman had asked to put thumbtacks into the wall for a "few things".. What a huge mistake, the walls are covered in band posters and knick knacks!

If anyone feels my pain, I'm glad I'm not alone.. If I need to suck it up, please advise LOL.

Maybe it doesn't help that we live in the same house? Just a few more years..

Hello all! New landlord here..

Our first rental property is from the 1920s and has field stone for foundation, it gives you the smell that just smacks you in the face and moisture like crazy.. We are thinking of mixing concrete as a winter project but I eventually would like to replace the foundation - thoughts? Worth it? Given location, we will probably keep it for a long time
