Landlord, Part II
I signed the papers this morning for the apartment building.
I am more than a million dollars in debt.
After signing the papers I drove home, wondering how I've lost my way.
First actions:
a. Termination letter to current building manager. As rude as he was yesterday prior to learning I was (becoming) the new owner leaves little faith that he executes his duties to the residents well.
b. Obtain contract to replace windows. Double-paned. Bigger. Much, much bigger windows. People are not designed to flourish in dark places.
c. Finalize contracts for maintenance, AR, insurance.
Early this morning I realized the enormous debt-non-debt creates an instant responsibility and goal: It will keep me around for a while.
