Today We Become Landlords

With great apprehension and relief we will be signing the papers to officially rent out our other house.  Of course, I waited til the last minute to work on a lease/rental agreement.  I feel we are fortunate in that the family that will be renting the house have been friends of ours for almost 20 years.  Our kids grew up together and were friends through school, and after graduation.

They are able to provide the first and last month's rent as well as $1000.00 security deposit. It is a difficult transition for me, we had lived in that house for 29 years.  But over the last couple of weeks, it has gotten easier to visit the house and not become emotional.  I just have to remember that we will be making more memories in our NEW home!   

My next task will be to seek out an accountant.  I think I am going to need one.
