We concerted the 1 bed to a 2 bed and got a lead certificate which cost us less than $5k in total work plus the tests.

I'm starting to take a page from the @Gene Hacker playbook and spending a lot more time enjoying my life - wine tasting in Napa today, weekday happy hours, concerts, hiking...

When deals come (yes it is feast or famine), my wife hates it because it consumes most of my "off" time, but then she is happy with it when I tell her I just booked a trip for a waterpark adventure for family, or I picked up tickets for date night to a show, concert, or sporting event.

Think PNC Arena (Carolina Hurricanes, NCSU basketball, concerts, etc.)

We have many festivals, concerts, activities for out of towners to come and attend.I have two years experience renting to short term tenants.

Going to the beach, gardening, visiting museums and theme parks, and going to rock concerts fills our spare time."
