Glad I could ease your mind. Charles - Well, at least he got new carpet outta the deal. Curtis - Those woulda/shoulda/couldas are killers, until you’re reminded of the other what-if? scenarios.

I feel guilt, though, over moving into a house, promptly getting the owner to agree to re-pay me for a carpet install and then moving out six months later with him owing ME $1,200 bucks.

September/October 2001 was not a terrific time to be selling in Northern Virginia. But we decided (thankfully) that trying to manage a rental property from NYC was insane. Every now and then I think about how much more we would have made had we just held onto it a few years and then sold it. Then I read a story like this one and say, "Thank God!"
