New Tenant!
I didn't work very long today, but it was worthwhile. My projects today consisted of changing a broken toilet handle; posting notices at several apartments to notify the tenants that trees are being cut down at those properties tomorrow; and doing the lease-up paperwork for one of my one bedroom apartments. Of course, any day that I get a new tenant is a good day.
Despite the recession, demand for rentals remains very high. Currently, ALL of my houses are full and I only have a couple of apartments open. I'm very happy with the rental situation.
After working for an hour or so, I went for a 7 mile bike ride and then came home to work on my garden. I was looking forward to working on the garden because I bought a fancy new rear-tine rotor tiller yesterday. I tilled up a relatively small area and was happy with my new toy. I'm looking forward to getting some plants in the ground in the next couple of weeks.

I'm not Mike, but I'm glad to hear that Mike's posts and book were helpful to your getting started with rental properties. That's great to hear, Jonathan!

Mike, I am glad to see you back with the blog. Your words and your book gave me what I needed to jump into the cold Ohio waters. I am happy to say all of my houses are rented as well (Dayton area).
