Tenants - FINALLY

OK. I Finally got some tenants via another RE agent. Dealing with agents is kind of a pain in leasing situations and I'm not sure I'll do it again. The only good thing was that this agent is related to the tenants and I have her number :-)

Anyway - I came down a little in rent to accommodate them (a young couple with new baby) and they seem quite nice. I feel confident that they will take decent care of the place. Unfortunately the first month's rent goes to the agent as commission. So starting March I will receive full rent.

This has at least stopped the bleeding. The few dollars a month I will make in profit I'm sure will be used on maintenance. the place needs newer appliances and a screen door.
