The rent before we bought was $225 per week, after reno it is rented for $330 per week. Don't know how much value we added by a small reno.

Thanks you for support and suggestions and help. We have decided not to move with them. They can move with us in our 3bdr home if they want to. We can offer them our master bed room and we can move in a smaller bed room. We want to support them as much as we can. We are ready to welcome our grand child.I will keep posting updates. Thanks.

I buy old properties, do some repairs, replace carpet, painting and rent it out. This strategy works for me. Yes, there is not…[Read more]

I push our son away from us but she does not understand that SON does not want to take responsibility. I think TAX is only an excuse. If we give away TAX…[Read more]
