We’re Landlords!

So, on top of the house that we are looking at buying, the Lord totally provided another opportunity for us to “manage” a 6 family home, all 1 bed/1 bath apartments. 

Honestly, it’s a very exciting and yet scary opportunity.  

We know the Lord is in control of everything… but there are Worldly people out there that have no problem lying, being deceitful, and cheating you out of money.  It’s “the nature of the beast” as many people would say. However, we praise God that we are not walking into this blindly expecting every person to keep their word, but not fearful of being burned either.

We took the house on with both first floor apartments being vacant on Saturday, put an Ad on Craigslist yesterday, and already have one *most likely* rented out…praise the Lord!  We were there cleaning the carpets last night…Fall_River-20110606-00173

Together, we conquered the carpets and they look great!

I’m sooo proud of my hubby for leading us through this new adventure. He’s compassionate and understanding, yet firm and not afraid to kick someone out… I couldn’t do the second.  Property management and investing has been on his heart for a LONG time and he’s finally stepping out in doing it.  The Lord has truly provided for us to do this in some low-risk type ways, which is rare for investing… We just want to be faithful with what the Lord has blessed us with!

Please pray that we would use what the Lord has blessed us with to bless others and not be greedy, have the boldness to share the gospel with our tenants, have discernment on who to allow in, how to set the rental prices, etc.  We GREATLY value your prayers!

Love,

~H~

  1. That is so exciting for you guys. One, I wouldn't cross Mike for sure :) And two, I can so see you being a sweet landlord that people actually like and that opening up doors to share Jesus with them. Can't wait to read the adventures in land-lording (maybe needs a new title) ;)
