HOUSE HOUSE HOUSE HOUSE

Kansas City--AGAIN--last weekend. I think we're turning the corner and nearly finished with everything. Of course, the contractor keeps finding more and more and more things that he'd love to fix.

I know it's because he just wants money--but it's also true that the small things need to be fixed and will affect the sale of the house. So yes, we keep adding those things in and in and in because if we don't fix them now, the buyers will be very picky.  My biggest concern is that the buyers will find some crazier things to fix and we'll NEVER BE DONE WITH THE HOUSE.

At some point, it's just going to be easier to let the place foreclose OR just keep renting it out. I'd really prefer to not keep renting it but at the same time, with the amount of repairs we're doing, it almost makes sense to just try to recoup some of the money.

Sadly, our house was too expensive to make it a true "income generator" house. Real income properties go for under 100K--and there's no way in the world we'll get that low on the house.
And so we beat on....
