Breaking Out In Song

Just a quick post dedicated to a very small but VERY exciting time in our lives that definitely needs to be documented.  John and I acquired a rental/income property in Springdale when I was expecting Addison.  It has served us well (and also been a bit of a headache...mostly due to tenants) but was definitely a learning experience a long the way.  Fast forward to almost 4 years later and we are FINALLY getting ready to close on and sell the property.  We definitely got a taste of the life of a landlord....especially of being one in Springdale....and have acquired lots of knowledge and life lessons along the way.  Were there things we should have done differently?  Sure....but overall it was a great life lesson we will appreciate daily.  And we also appreciate daily the relief of finally having it sold.  Our original closing was supposed to be the week after Thanksgiving and for reasons on the buyer's side, we had to postpone until the 2nd week of December.  But, the exciting news is that it DID finally close and we are NO longer owners of a duplex in Springdale.  Often we find ourselves breaking out in song....

"We sold the duuuuuppplllexxxx, we sold the duuupppllleexxx, etc etc."  

We are definitely looking forward to NOT having to drive to Springdale for minor repairs or to collect rent (mostly John is thankful for this) and NOT having to search for new tenants that will be nice to our property and NOT trash it and leave high and dry.   Ahhhh, so thankful to be moving on from this phase of our life and this lesson.
