Not a day goes by that I’m not happy to have our suite set up as a furnished rental. We’re booked with 30 day min rentals all summer long, and the revenue that we get from our income property is 90% written off against the mortgage. It’s a win-win-win.
Plus, I’m able to house clients while looking for a home to buy in Victoria, like the folks we just gave the keys to today! We’ll miss them as tenants but so happy they will be our neighbours here in Esquimalt.
We often get people that say things like “That house is so much work, you should sell!” and “You need a smaller house”… why? Even when I was single I was perfectly happy with a 3500sf house on an 8,000 sf lot. It keeps me busy, and I’m GERMAN. We LOVE gardening, home improvement and are always HAUS PROUD. So again, NO, I’m NOT SELLING :)
The other part of the puzzle is that I used to be a Duty Manager at a 4Star hotel in the UK for years and years, and grew up in our family restaurant in Jordan River. Hospitality runs deep. I just love hosting folks from other parts of the world, and I absolutely ADORE sharing this house with guests.
