Landlords!

So, after much deliberation and conscious decision-making (largely consisting of an almost joke ad on Craig's List and being pleasantly surprised at the results), we are becoming slumlandlords! I like our would-be renters, but it is strange to think about someone else living in my house. We're learning all about local ordinances and permitting requirements, as well as Virginia landlord/tenant law and guidelines. Plus putting together a how-to-care-for-the-appliances handbook and best-of-the-neighborhood list of businesses. After that, we just have to pack up, move out, and cross our fingers and hope for appreciation.
