Today’s emotion: Apprehension
Ok, so I’m still worried about the tenant thing. We were supposed to have a family come look at the house last night at 5 pm. After cleaning the house like a mad woman, at 5 minutes after 5 they weren’t there. At 5:20, still no prospective tenants. By 5:45 I was beyond annoyed and went and made Ryan some dinner. At 6:15 I looked at Matt and said, “I don’t think they’re coming.” Yeah, they never showed.
So the apprehension started to build. I began to think to myself, “What if we can’t find a renter and we’re stuck paying for rent in Bend AND a mortgage here in AZ in less than a month???” My left eye started twitching uncontrollably.
A couple of hours later I received an e-mail from someone named Jennifer. Apparently she had found our house from one of the sites that Postlet.com automatically posts flyers to. Woo hoo for free marketing! So I set up an appointment with her via e-mail to come see the house this Thursday. Although my eye was still twitching, I went from a 10-plus on the “Freak the Fuck Out” scale to about an 8.
So yeah. We still don’t have a renter, but at least there is some interest and I have 4 appointments set up with different people over the next week. The apprehension I feel is definitely still there, but I have hope that it will all come together soon.
