Fuck these Fucking Fucks

Brilliant job 👌👏👏👏……. And looks like the ultimate job satisfaction project. That video makes all the other “in progress” videos click into place. Great stuff.
Fingers crossed you get tenants that’ll keep the place in a decent order. 🤞

And only in America do you see what was at 0:33 in that clip ——>> house number 4319.
There are no streets long enough in the UK for that kind of thing.

I have decided to sell my rental. Been doing two weeks worth of tarting up. Stepson is a decorator and he’s been busy. Only biggish job was putting down rubber click laminate floor in the bsthroom and a new basin / cupboard set. Then the Mrs went in and done her “Changing Rooms” part, (TV show here, don’t know if in USA)…… basically making sure colours (colors for Jaadam) are all correct.
When people say, “oh this colour (color) really pulls the room together”…….. I’ve literally no fucking clue what they’re talking about. Wife must be good at it because the place is pleasing. I’ll post a few pics when i’m back there Wednesday.

And as said, fingers crossed that you get a good tenant. The reason I am selling up is I cannot be fucked with the fucking fucks who fucking rent it. NOT that they wreck anything, they 9 times out of 10 are very good in that way……. But they’re just a pain in the ass. Last tenant, single guy, (guys are the WORST!) ….., not moaning but 2 years worth of questions and bathroom fans, clothes irons, ironing boards, outside communal trash collections, overgrown pine trees, toilet roll holders, squint kitchen cupboard door……….
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️……. Realised after dealing with Scotty, I have zero patience left.
SO ……. ( <<<—— legal) , its on the market.

lol @ your legal "So"!! haha

OK you fucking fucks. It's finally fucking done. My 2 month project that took 6 months to complete is fucking done.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Congratulations on completing it! Looks great!! I would have loved a rental like that back in my renting days!

The first house I rented, I did so without seeing the house. I was 21 and got a job three hours away and found a rental in the paper. They had apparently bombed the place for roaches the day before I moved in. So I had a good week of dying roaches everywhere. To this day, I'm surprised I didn't just say "Nope" and back out of the whole thing.

Anyway, that rental is very nice!!

$2,995/mo

Wow!! Does that monthly fee include a butler? lol Looks like it's competitive for that area but damn that's a lot!

[CGVT]

Yeah. The rental market here is crazy. There is nothing to rent long term on the island

[Marko69]

Googled that in todays Sterling rate….. £2,200. Thats going to be bloody awesome if you get that. 👌👌👌
That’ll be the cherry on the cake for the masses of effort put in.

In context to my 2 bed flat in Mortonhall, Edinburgh……. £840 a month, less 11% agents fee.
Dont know what the laws are over there but way too many “rights” for tenants over here. Agents have more power to kick the fucking fucks out should things go sour. 11% well spent over the years. 👌

FWIW, this person was our fist response to the listing. I'm thinking maybe it should be a no?

(BTW, I'm not going to leave this post up very long...) I hate to pile on, but she is banned from 6 counties in GA for 24 years!? What could go wrong?

[Marko69]

Thinking ground control to major “NO” on that one too.
What are the chances on that?

[Marko69]

Curious on that first rental enquiry, CGVT, …… just being a proper nosey bstd! Did you, or an agent, respond to the enquiry?

If that was me……. I’d be making up some BS excuse that my marriage broke up and im having to move in myself.

I have never heard of 23.5 years of probation sentence.

[Marko69]

Yes, read about this in the National Enquirer. Apparently they are putting a lot of people on large probation timescales and having them scan read pages and pages of vaccine documents. Latest figures show they'll expect to release vac info in 68 years instead of the previously stated 75. It's all covid positive news.

We responded, mainly because I was curious as to how she thought she would pass the background check, but it appears it was a scam. We've had three inquiries that tried to get us to give them our email address so that they "could contact us directly" and one that was "helping a friend find a place" and she need our emal for him to contact us. When we responded that we could communicate through Zillow, or "she" could send him the link none of them responded.
Imagine that?

BTW, You would think if you were going use someone's identity to try to scam someone, picking a convicted felon would be a poor choice. Ha!

We have the house rented starting on the 15th.

All told we spent about 15k, give or take, including the windows and increased the rent from $900 a month to 3k a month.

I think that is a pretty good return on investment.
