GWiz landed her new home rental!!!
Just went on the rental market yesterday and it had 6 showings today. She was selected over the other 5!
This is in Kissimmee, FL, it's just shy of 1,900 sf. and she got her 3-car garage. She is SO tickled!!! |

So proud as a papa that she's able to rent such a nice house without needing roommates, or a co-signer, or anything. Best thing is the owner just closed on it and paid cash. He's not moving in for 5 years, so if she wants to extend the rental, she certainly can. We ALL loved Kissimmee. This city, and the house, above everything else she's looked at definitely checked all of the boxes.

Nice, this isn't the one she was getting in your neighborhood is it?

Also, I teased her, I'm pretty sure she could fit FOUR cars in the garage. Turn the two little Miatas sideways, and if she wants a 4th car, she has a roof over it's head. |

surely, with her finances, she could buy a house, and then not be subject to the whims of some landlord?

We ate lunch in downtown Kissimmee. It's a very quaint town, and the lakes and parks are amazing. She will definitely own a home soon, but now she gets time to explore the area and find out of this locale is where she wants to hang her hat and invest in a house. |

She may be wise to rent for another reason. House prices are white hot in most places in Florida. To buy now is probably at the peak of he market. I strongly believe that prices will come down to earth in the next 12 to 18 months as Biden proceeds to destroy the economy.

She fully plans on improving the property too. The lawn is dismal at best, and she'll get that under control. The flower beds are overgrown with weeds, we'll trim everything, pull the weeds, and put some fresh mulch down. The fact that she wants the place to look nice, and the owner will benefit, certainly factored into her being the selected renter. Realtor told us this.
The master bedroom has a brand new composite floor and it's the worst hack job I've ever seen in my life. The quarter rounds installed at the baseboards were NOT mitered. It's just two ends meeting in a corner not matching up at all, and around all of the doors and corners, you see daylight in the cuts of the boards. Very shitty job. We will be fixing this, and the owner will benefit. We'll propose to him to buy the material, but pictures of the dog shit job will close the deal immediately. |

The local one was predicated on her leaving one of her cars in my garage. Now all of her stuff moves out. My wife even said she's fine leaving her Subaru out, and I can put the C8 in there...without needing a lift. That saves me the same $3-4k as well. I may still pull the trigger on that, but with the recent purchase of such an elaborate monitor/video card setup, not having to spend that money is appreciated. |

why isn't the landlord responsible for landscaping and lawn care? Is that the norm in FLA?

He's an individual owner and can choose his own terms. She has to pay all utilities, and care for the lawn. Unlike most renters that would never give a shit, they'd mow the lawn, and never provide weed control...because rental. GWiz is a very proud individual and wants a beautiful place to call her own. She's cut from the same cloth that I am, that makes me wash and wax every exotic car I rent in Las Vegas. We just go next-level on all dealings in our lives.

Any idea when the 'save the date' cards for the housewarming kegger will be going out?

Where is she working? Kissimmee is just 30 minutes or so from us, if she needs anything...

Most lenders require 2 years of full-time employment to be eligible for a mortgage. My son is dealing with this right now. He has a nice apartment in Boston that costs $3500 per month in rent. He could buy a condo for $600,000, and it would cost him less per month than his rent. He reaches two years in July.
