(our condo is on the right with the cedars)

As my posts are few and far between, you have to know that January was a busy month for us. We bought a condo in Penticton. 

Two bedrooms/ two bathrooms. 

(the patio)

  On January 4th we put in our offer 

  and we settled on the price the next 

  day. We closed and picked up our keys 

  on the 29th in Penticton.  

  We bought this with the intention of   renting it for a couple or three years   until we are ready to move there     (maybe). 

At the moment we plan to stay put here in Greenwood.

But, more about this busy month we've had. We put ads in three different places and were busy screening people and answering emails for weeks before we even owned the place. 

That being said, we had a few potential tenants lined up when we picked up the keys. We spent the night and showed the place two more times on Saturday before we headed home. 

As it turned out, one of the Saturday viewers is our new tenant. So happy now that we agreed to meet with them. And here is the great part of all of this. He is a Construction Contractor and is interested in doing all kinds of improvements to the place. We already bought the flooring, and they are going to paint and he will stall the flooring.

What really sold us on this unit was the bright kitchen/dining area and the outside patio. You can only get this from a corner unit....I love it!

I could show more photos, but really, a bedroom is a bedroom and who really wants to see a bathroom picture??

That is it for January news. I will post pictures of the upgrades at a later date.  Thanks for reading, bye until next time.
