Everyday Renting in the Hammer

My husband and I are small-small-small-time landlords in the city of Hamilton, Ontario. This blog tells of our trials and tribulations as we try to succeed at one of the hardest ventures we have ever set ourselves on. We both also have full-time jobs that actually pay the bills, AND two kids - one brand new. We currently have five 100+ year-old Victorian houses, one duplex, and three triplexes. They are constantly leaking, breaking, sagging, or leaning.

One down two to go!

I got the two-bedroom rented! AND paid! Woot! I like this family, although I may be a bit biased. They own a local restaurant that makes a GREAT breakfast AND they have the most adorable Chinese adopted daughter. they're just hardworking honest people.
I think my six o'clock spot is a no-show. Poo. But I have strong potentials for the 1-bed coming this evening so i'm hopeful there. The basement should go quickly if I market it a bit more intensively. I was concentrating on the big units first.
