I can't believe I'm actually saying this...but we BOUGHT A HOUSE...another one! Earlier this year, Jesse and I sat down and evaluated what we wanted our financial future to look like.
If you know Jesse, you know he loves to talk finances, investments, mutual funds...anything to do with money.
During our planning, we made a goal to procure our first investment property this year. We spent the past few months watching the housing market and getting our realtors to scan the area for us, for the perfect starter property. After several months of searching during a crazy time in the real estate market, we finally found the perfect property.
In July we put in an offer on this house, but it was rejected. We re-evaluated our goals, finances, cost of the house, and the area, and we felt that we couldn't justify paying more for the property. Disappointed, we moved on.
Jesse had a hunch that it wouldn't be the last that we saw this property...and he was right. In August, the owners of the home reached out to us, and agreed to accept our original offer.

We got the keys at the end of September and we're now in the full-swing of renos. It's pretty exciting to pick out paint colours, flooring, tiles and countertops. Jesse's been learning a ton about renos and has done the majority of the work himself along with the help of family.
We can't say 'thank you' enough to our family who has been pitching in with renos, meals and babysitting. So excited to see the final result and welcome out new (first) tenants in December.
Stay tuned for more on this journey!
