House #2: Almost Rented

It's been forever since my last post, but thought I'd shoot one out just to get everyone updated. Since our move over the holidays, we've been trying to get our previous home rented. We had some nibbles, and even a few very interested parties, but no one has panned out. A little over a week ago, we had a nice couple look at the place, and a few days later call us back to tell us they want to rent it. They are going to be building their own home, but it will not be ready for about 7-9 months and needed a place to stay until then. I ran all the checks already on them and still have a couple of calls to make, but they seem like very likely candidates (but don't they all?). Hopefully, they'll be in the house within a few weeks and we can start making some money on the place. I still need to do a few more things before they move in, like install a new A/C filter, change the door locks, etc., but things should be ready to go before they move in.

BTW, the tenants in House #1 weer late again with their rent. He sent me an email saying they were out of town and "totally forgot" about sending the check out beforehand. He said we should have it by Wednesday with late fees included. We'll see.
