Before DadOf3 and I met, he followed in his parents footsteps and invested in some rental property. It was a great way to start out after graduating from college. He bought a duplex, lived on one side, and rented out the other side. The rented side helped pay the mortgage and he was right there if his tenant needed anything fixed. When we moved down here, DadOf3 was not ready to sell and one of our best friends from up in Iowa offered to manage it for him. Well after 6 1/2 years of having this investment and being so far away, we decided to sell it. DadOf3 listed it on Craigslist and we were able to sell it without a realtor in about a month and a half from offer to closing! Well last night, the new buyer closed on the duplex! We are no longer land lords!
Seriously, if you have something you want to sell and have not checked out www.craigslist.org you should! It is a free forum to sell and buy things ranging from a free kitten to a house! It is a great way to get buyers in touch with sellers. So far this year we have sold countless baby items, DadOf3's old truck, and the duplex!

Congratulations on the sale! And, that nifty new award I believe I see in your sidebar!
Wow that was a quick sale. Congrats! My grandparents were long distance landlords, it is a hard thing to do.
