I know how fortunate I am to be in at this position, I struggle with sentimentality and still have lots of my parents/brothers items around me including the house which is currently rented.
I rented because I didn't really want to part with it and it seemed the right thing to do as I doubt I would get that return if he cash were in the bank. It's currently in it's third year of renting, with current tenant being there for about 18 months.
I find it really hard going back there, each time I come home I cry so my husband said he'd deal with it but that lasted a short time. I have considered using an agent but I would still get the reports, have that connection albeit not as much.
Each time the tenant complains about something I feel sick to my stomach, I hate being a landlord with the responsibility but feel it's the right thing to do in some ways to retain the capital for what would be a help to my DD later on. The income is maybe 6K after taxes and expenditure if I am lucky (I know I am though!) Yield is about 4%.
I have long thought about selling and buying something else to flip (too much homes under the hammer) but I don't have the connections in any trades and a lazy arse husband it's something I have always wanted to do as I hate my job, I'm just dreaming aren't I? What should I do?
