Started the eviction process on one of my tenants today. I hate that. It's the last thing I ever want to do. Especially since it's a single mom with two small children. But what can you do?

Bought a new stove today. Unfortunately it won't be coming to my house but will be delivered to the house I closed on last week. The Sellers, my customers, were supposed to put a new stove in the house but decided to cut corners and put in a refurbished stove instead. Looks great. Works great. Bu...

My lovely wife just posted a note on our refrigerator that reads "I only have a kitchen because it came with the house." Now I'm not sure but I think this means I will either be cooking my own meals or going out to eat a lot.Anyway, this got me thinking about things Sellers have done to their hou...
