My garbage and recycling pickup day at the Bestor Street house is Thursday. I’m posting that little nugget of information not because anyone particularly cares, but because I always forget what day it is at my current address. Maybe if I write it down here I’ll remember it for a change. 🙂
I keep seeing the positives in Bestor…: a) fireplace!! b) backyard tree…? What is it? Looks good and old-ish!
The house itself: when can I rent it???
Thanks! Now that I have approved a few, the blog appears to be auto-approving your comments by itself. Welcome to the Interwebs! 🙂
I think I’ll be happy with it. The neighborhood is just decent, my condo is in a better area than the house is. But that house is larger and it has a yard. I don’t know what the trees are, I will have to look them up. The fireplace like everything else needs some work. My guy bid $1600 for a new top damper, replacing the firebox lining, and repointing some of the outside masonry. I might not do that immediately as there are other things which are more pressing.
You can’t rent the house. Even if I wanted to turn around and rent it, I am legally obligated not to do so. Part of the contract stipulations in buying a Fannie Mae foreclosure were that I sign an agreement saying that I plan to occupy the home and not turn it around into a rental property. I think the time frame for that was a year? Don’t mark your calendar just yet though, I may get used to having a yard! 🙂
