Heading to Atlanta Today – Trying to Rent the House

I’m heading to Atlanta a little later today.  I’ve got an appointment to show our house tomorrow to a potential renter.  Our house in Atlanta has been vacant for 2 years now.  We have shied away from renting, trying to wait out the housing market.  But after 2 years I think its time to rent.

The neighborhood is a good one and in one of the best school clusters in the state, but there have been a lot of short sales in our neighborhood which have really pummeled home values.  Ours has actually not fallen as fast and far as most, but it has fallen enough for it to be too problematic to sell at this point.

So now I take a road trip!  More updates to follow from the road . . .
