The fam and I were scheduled to head up north to Harbor Spring a week ago Wednesday and hang out with my Dad and step mom. The universe had other plans.
Not long after I woke up, my handyman was video calling me, walking me through one of our Detroit rental properties because it appeared to have been broken into.
It was. And the water heater and furnace were gone.
The incident was extremely disheartening, and so far it’s been my biggest setback in our rental property journey. We ended up boarding the house up, leaving on Thursday instead, and I mostly forgot about the incident while gone.
We had a lot of fun. Tucker enjoyed boating, riding grandpa’s tractor, cutting the grass with grandma on the zero-radius riding mower, hanging at the beach, hitting the farmer’s market, and plenty else.
Here’s a photo I took of a small, tucked away beach we hiked to.
Ryder had no fear of the water.
Tucker loved playing first mate and driving the boat.
Now that we’ve been home a couple days I’m nearly caught up on work stuff, but still figuring out how to proceed with our rental property. A lot needs to done yet to get a tenant in place.
The good news is I’ve had time to digest everything so I’m not nearly as stressed as I was. But we’re closing on another property tomorrow, and it feels like there’s a never ending list of things to do.
