We just finished the first summer of renting out our shore house, which ended up making us over $75k, which was more than enough cover the mortgage on that house, and the mortgage on the other house we bought in CT. We closed on two houses in about 9 months, so that was a lot.
Working on getting a 1923 colonial updated at the moment. This house has 4 bedrooms with a huge attic and basement, but only one small bathroom and a kitchen that hasn't been updated in at least 75 years. It's a mess. So that's where our focus is at the moment. It's a fun process overall renovating and updating houses, but if you think you know how much it would cost to add air conditioning and updated heating to a 100 year old house, double what you think.
Our 3 year old started 3K this month, so that's been fun to see her entering the world finally. She's pretty much a Covid kid, so this is her first extended experience with other kids. She's a little behind on her speech development, but is so far ahead in so many areas. Covid really screwed an entire generation of development for kids.
We're also getting ready for our first trip in 3 years in December. We're agent go to Europe for 3 weeks and visit a bunch of Christmas markets. I'm definitely super excited for that.
