According to the National Fire Protection Association, an average of nearly sixteen thousand fires are caused by dryers and washing machines every year. Dryer fires cause hundreds of injuries and more than one
While I thoroughly love living in Jacksonville, Florida, the weather can be difficult. The area is exposed to major storms. Along with the high winds and torrential downpours of storms and hurricanes, we deal with high humidity, extreme UV light and an assortment of pests. All of these challenges are tough on a roofing system.
I was relieved that there was no obligation involved. A few years ago, I bought a property for the purpose of creating a rental income. I invested into a brand new kitchen and bathroom.

Insurance in Florida is sort of a nightmare. If your roof is over 15 years old, good freaking luck. My roof was in great condition. It had another ten years for sure. Insurance was being such a turd about it though. I couldn’t find a company to cover my place due to the old roof.
I have lived in a household that was too big for me for years. I know I had grand ideas of meeting the one and having a giant family. I lived in a place that had five home offices and three powder rooms. There was a gym, giant residing room, living room, den, and an

I have lived in a house that was too big for me for years. I think I had grand ideas of meeting the one and having a giant family. I lived in a place that had five bedrooms and three bathrooms. There was a gym, giant living room, kitchen, den, and an attached porch area.
I ended up inheriting my Grandmother’s house in Jax, Florida. The arena was a mess. There was garbage on top of it. My Grandmother was an intense hoarder that couldn’t let anything go. The amount of magazines and newspapers were insane. There was also tons of aged medicine packaging, furniture, books, and clothing. After he
When my Grandmother passes I know I am going to highly request that my mother sell that inherited house fast for money. Right now my Grandmother lives on a big plot of land in a nice house. The issue is that he is a hoarder. There is tons of stuff packed into that house. My
So factor all that into holding onto a place and then listing it I never seem to be at the right time in the housing market. When costs were super low, I was wasting money renting. When the housing market was suddenly super expensive, I bought. Now that I am looking to sell, it isn’t
I did everything as dumb as possible. I met a guy in Jacksonville, Florida and after a few months, we bought a house together. We both figured marriage was right around the corner. It made sense to buy a house and tie ourselves financially. Well a year later we never got married and wanted to
When I decided to sell my apartment I realized that the roof was older than it should be. Suddenly there were troubles with insurance as well as I had to buy a modern roof for the property I was waiting for. That seemed dumb to me. I am leaving the house, never to return. However,
I actually do not care for working with real estate agents. When I was young I purchased all my rental properties through real estate agents. It was such an evening mare coordinating with them. They didn’t have any knowledge or skills. They basically just facilitated contact as well as took a hefty percentage of the

My grandmother was a very nice lady, she just was a bit of a hoarder. She was the level of hoarder where she slept all sorts of newspapers, magazines, empty pill cartridges, etc. Her house had rugs on top of rugs, all sorts of chairs and you could hardly move around in it. It didn’t
My whole family lived in Portland, Oregon. It was just the place we all decided to set up camp. The rules were that you married someone you went to highschool with, got a local job, and bought a house. Then you had kids and continued the cycle over again. Well one by one my family
I sincerely wish I would have done the Portland real estate buyer the whole time. I realized unquestionably late into the rental game that I am not somebody who enjoys owning rental properties. I hated dealing with the renters. I was constantly getting calls about congested toilets, troubles with the flooring, as well as a
