Yes I am.
My att. buddy took off for a weekend in Europe (3 weeks) and dumped all of his income property on me for the duration. Fix shit that breaks and collect rents. I haven't had to do shit yet but already I don't like it.
Oh, I suppose that I'd have a different attitude if all of the rental properties were occupied by desirable women who were in arrears, but alas, that is not the case. So it's mere drudgery. And all of this on a long weekend.
Did I mention the dog and two cats?
He's up in Scotland now and reports that the weather is unusually fine. I find myself wishing it weren't, at least for one day anyway. I'm essentially paralyzed here with so many places to go, and no way I can get more than 2 hrs. away from town. I suppose I could drive up to Santa Fe if for no other reason than the use the 'other' bathroom mandated by local law. I expect it's no different than your average 'Men's' room except the toilet seat will always be down. But it would be fun to see the look on folks faces trying to guess whether I'm a man trying to be a woman, or a woman trying to be a man. <sigh> Cheap thrills.
All of the renter's I've contacted have said "soon." They know he's out of town as well as I do and figure I can't do anything about it. I can, I have limited power of attorney and can issue eviction notices, but to what end? An idiots power trip is all it would be because he'll be back, and the PoA will expire before they become seriously in arrears.
Even worse, if some raghead manages to get a bomb on a flight he and his family is on, I'm stuck managing this shit until the estate is settled. You have no idea how much I pray for his safety, on so many levels.
I'm really more concerned about the animals than the renters. Is that wrong? So far I don't think so.
Alritght, end of that rant. Am I conveying that I just don't want to be a landlord..........ever?
