Clearing Crap… A Facebook Marketplace Tale…

What do you do when your guilty conscience says: what a waste, that’s too good to just bin, surely someone can make use of it…

So you put it on Facebook marketplace for free, collection only.…

A shed is getting flattened today, but look at the size of this bad boy - he’s that big, maybe I should have been charging him rent!

Even the handyman gave out a little squeal at the size of him!

One of the biggest faffs when refurbishing a house is getting electric working, and having to set up an account for what will effectively only be for a few weeks, until a tenant moves in.

You can’t really do without power either because the contractors need it to work.

FAFF

I was just telling my Aunty Pam last week how I appreciate everything because I remember what it was like to have nothing.

So here’s a timely revisit to a blog I wrote on the benefits of growing up skint… enjoy! 😊

Top tip: always have a local scrapman’s number saved.

Then when you need to get rid of an old washer, or a disgustingly grim microwave that a naughty tenant has left behind, you just message to arrange collection.

You get rid of a problem and help someone make money. Win-win👍

Nice easy start to the week?

Nay - a trashed flat to fix, from a tenant who fell into drugs, and thus all sense of wisdom and normal standards of living fall aside for addiction.

But at least they’ve now left the property, and I’m left to deal with the carnage and cost to fix.

Today is the day I have dreaded: my top lad Jerry Lee is no more. 💔

Forever my cheery, cheeky, mouthy beautiful boy, lover of naps, spiky balls, Rodeos, Maltesers and snicky snacks, and sun slut extraordinaire.

Sleeping time, Jerry Lee x x x 💗

Sad and fed up this week, and would much rather be sat on the sofa with my darling sugar doggio.

But things to do, and plans arranged, and today’s Chamber meeting had to be run, so sometimes you’ve got to just put on a smile and gerronwi’it.

Randomly saw this in my email junk file… oooh, I like a certificate!

Nice to see my name up there on the good list for the Leeds Rental Standards, but I have questioned them as to why the certificate is only valid for a month! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Things I did on yesterday’s house viewing…

- took my Mummio along for a nosy

- watered these struggling plants

- got excited to see a corpse-dismembering slab in the cellar

- tested out this toilet, it worked.

Nice little property, but not a lot of house for the money!😖

[Kellyann Martin @PresleyProperty]

It’s now 😱 TEN YEARS 😱 since I bought and refurbished this house as a HMO (House of Multiple Occupancy, ie rented out by the room)

‼️ The key lesson I learnt very quickly was this: I like a nice, easy stress-free and drama-free life, so single lets are easier than HMOs!

If you’ve met me in real life, you’ll know I’m hashtag #nofilter… but I’ve seen some ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING photos of myself recently! 😆😩

Ran a meeting in Leeds this morning…

I love hosting meetings with lovely people - especially those that you can help, or can help you.

There’s already two people in this picture who services I’ve paid for 😊

Get to know, like and trust good people - then let them help you!

[Kellyann Martin @PresleyProperty]

Still not entirely sure what I expected or why I got invited, but went to a plumber’s merchant’s trade fair at Elland Road this evening.

No singer, no disco, no free boilers or radiators, but we got fed, and my friend extorted lots of pens and merch from the stands 😆

[Kellyann Martin @PresleyProperty]

I viewed a house which came with tenants, now weighing up pros and cons:

✅ already occupied
✅ no refurbishment
✅ instant income day 1

❌ what if they’re a clown tenant?
❌ can’t uplift the value immediately through major improvement work
❌ trapping funds in a deal

Hmmm 🤔

[Kellyann Martin @PresleyProperty]

It’s bizarre how we’ll do any strange procrastination task to avoid doing the one we hate…

Today I was supposed to start my accounts, so I’ve rearranged my living room, attempted DIY, by vinyl wrapping these cupboard doors!

Useful… BUT NOT WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING!!!

[Kellyann Martin @PresleyProperty]

When you ask a Billy Bullshitter the same direct question four times, about what they’ve done to help the situation within the last six weeks, yet each time they stutter and squirm like a politician, because they can’t admit that they’ve done absolutely nothing…

[Kellyann Martin @PresleyProperty]

Saw these jazzy concepts in Leeds recently…

These houses are just on the outskirts of the city centre, where space is at a premium.

So raise your garden on stilts, park your car underneath!

[Kellyann Martin @PresleyProperty]

Two naughty tenants misbehaving this week, which causes me stress and annoys me, because I like a nice, peaceful, drama-free life.

Just remind me: is it illegal to bludgeon to death with a mallet those who don’t do the right thing?!

Asking for a friend, obvs… 😉

[Kellyann Martin @PresleyProperty]

Boiler fun and games today, but at my own house for a change for a minor leak.

Boiler man trashed my house, broke a fridge magnet, smashed through my table, but sang on karaoke with me, so all is forgiven 😆
