Since
August 2011
I've visited
Many places.
But I've never
Had a proper
Vacation.
It has always
Been a
Workcation.
Unlike my
Hubby who
Can forget
About his
Office work
And relax in
His holidays,
My BTL business
Doesn't let me
Do that. I have
To make myself
Available for the
Tenants and the
Repairs and maintenance
Of my rentals.
Urgent, unforeseen
Issues can crop up
Anytime. In tenancies,
No two days are the same.
Every day brings new
Surprises, new challenges,
And so I have to be ready
To fix those issues, besides
The daily tabs on payments
And refunds, incomes and
Expenses, profits and losses.
After all these years,
I'm still learning the
Ropes of this business.
Every house differs,
Every tenant differs,
Every agent differs.
So, what are the pluses
Of this business?
Flexitime and flexibility with
No commuting to do :)
I can work anytime
From anywhere....
Remotely liaising with the
Estate agents, contractors,
Insurers and utility providers.
That really helps me, as I
Also have a lot of housework
To do. Housework is like
Clockwork, never ending....
The chores keep repeating
Like diurnal cycles of living.
What's the downside of
This buy-to-let business?
The downside is every
Vacation is a workcation. I
Need to keep emailing and
Calling people to ensure
Things are done in time to
Keep tenants and agents happy.
By the way,
Who said
Money-making is
Easy?! :-)
It needs a lot of
Hard work, sacrifice,
Compromise, grit,
Resilience and
Determination, to
Get some positive
Outcome and earn
Some remuneration. |
