Real Estate Maven

I now have two—count 'em, two—houses on the market in Tucson. Oy!

A TSO friend and I had been talking about his renting my house, but after weighing all the costs and the need to have a roommate to be able to afford the rent, he decided he'll keep his privacy and go for something he loves less. The former owners and I thought it would be great fun to continue the musical tradition in that house, but there's only so low I can go with the rent!

And I'm losing my fabulous tenants in Continental Ranch. The husband got a job offer with HP in Colorado. It was simply an offer too good to refuse. So after polling everyone they knew who had ever expressed interest in the house, we agreed that selling is the way to go. However, when my realtor pulled the comps, I'm going to bring in not much more than I paid for it in 2003. I'm hoping I won't be underwater with this house, too. Selling one house at a loss is quite enough, thankyouverymuch.

I'll appreciate all the finger-crossing you want to do. I would be so happy to get these millstones off from around my neck!
