FULL TRANSCRIPT

Speaker 1 0:01

Oh, hey. How's it going, Jake, which are you at? Nice to meet you as well. How's your mood going? Oh,

Speaker 2 0:08

as you can see, you know, finally got, like, most of the stuff in the house, but pretty good, nice. We're just happy to be getting to the

Speaker 1 0:18

unpacking part. Yeah, that's a fantastic way to feel, yeah, God

Speaker 2 0:23

is just the older you get, each time it gets rougher. Honestly, moving is always hard. Yeah, never gets easier. My partner, like, for me, I've been a globetrotter, like, I'm originally from Europe, and then, like, I'm also Canadian, so I'm used to, like, big, nasty moves. My partner had the fortune, like, the good fortune of, like, growing up the childhood in the same house, like, you know, just like, they're very different human experience, absolutely. Anyways, yeah, we're very happy with it. It's a, it's a little slice of our, you know, Utopia here. I would just love the layout over here that, you know, so,

Unknown Speaker 1:02

like the so far away from the stream, yeah,

Unknown Speaker 1:03

absolutely, I already have planned for,

Speaker 2 1:06

you know, various plants, herbs, you know, it's the kind of like place that somebody would bring something

Speaker 1 1:12

perfect. Sounds fantastic. Did you have any like specific items you wanted to address with me today? Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 1:18

actually, I had like, so, all

Speaker 2 1:22

right, well, was a little curious. So this is the washer dryer.

Speaker 2 1:34

Like it kind of has, like a, like a musk to it. I can tell that there was water damage at one point. Is there, like, something, and then, like, the concrete that was left behind? Because, you know, I would like to, like, try to make this nice and organized, but I had some ideas, like, maybe there's, like, there's so much space back there, maybe for like a storage shed or something, you know, even if that's just for, like, the property. So, you know, because I guess these are things that are left here for, like, future repairs or

Unknown Speaker 2:06

so you're just wondering about, like,

Speaker 2 2:12

like, one, like, you know, the musk because, you know, I don't really want to put in a washer dryer until, because I feel like That's gonna probably soak into the clothes, and then maybe if we could figure out something for, like, even, like, one of those really, really small, you know, like, narrow storage unit things where you can just put some stuff inside so that, you know, I can

Speaker 1 2:36

make better use of the space, okay? And that would be something that you are planning on, I'm

Speaker 2 2:41

just, you know, I just wanted to bring up the question, okay, because I don't know what the leniency on like, like, if that's kosher for me to

Speaker 1 2:48

Yeah, if you wanted to get, like, a small storage unit and add it, you could definitely do Cool, cool, cool, cool. Okay. Other than that,

Speaker 2 2:59

we did notice, like, a little like, like a sulfur II smell, like the first day or two from the like, I just, you know, with these older houses, I just don't know if, like, it's just quirk of the building or whatever, you know, but I just thought I would bring that up too, okay, it's kind of dissipated since so, I mean, with these old houses, like, there's so many things you gotta think about like that. They're radon, you know, like, for sure, gas or whatever. But we don't really have a basement here, so

Speaker 1 3:28

yeah, so if that continues to be an issue, or you notice it again, I would highly recommend putting in a work order for that, since you've, like, stated that it's kind of dissipated. I don't want to put, like, a lot of worry into it at the moment, but definitely, if it comes up again, please put in a work order for it, and that's something that we can come out and address. I think that in some instances, it could just be that maybe the gas stove was turned on, and a little bit of gas seeped into the house. And

Speaker 2 4:05

we're like, it might not have been used for a while. And I know when you, like, see me, when you start to furnace, it kind of has a smell. And thought maybe that was going on

Speaker 1 4:12

for sure. Yeah, this property has been on the market for a little bit. Yeah, I noticed,

Speaker 2 4:16

yeah. And I'm guessing the A side as well, correct? We were very happy when we saw that the grass was mowed. We appreciate that, yeah, sure, but I'm guessing that's something we're gonna be

Unknown Speaker 4:29

handling going forward,

Speaker 1 4:30

correct, yeah, if, yeah. I was just wanting to address all your things, and then I can run through my little spiel, course, of course.

Speaker 2 4:37

And then just in the bathtub, the the

Unknown Speaker 4:42

faucet, it

Speaker 2 4:44

fails to, like, fully switch over between shower and tub mode. So you have, you know, when the water is like, half running out, it's just it wastes money and whatever

Speaker 1 4:54

when you do that, yeah, if you want, I can grab a snap, a picture of that. Oh, yeah,

Unknown Speaker 4:58

absolutely, absolutely, come on in

Unknown Speaker 5:04

umbrella. So it's

Speaker 2 5:20

I see what I mean, like, yeah, okay, and maybe if we could do something about because that looks like it might be like, old mold or something in the but, like, really, that was, like, very minor, you know, nothing major or functional that I noticed that needed to be addressed. Okay? And if things come up, we'll just use the portal. Do y'all have a physical location, by the way, like, an office or like, is it mostly just,

Unknown Speaker 6:01

yeah, it's all like through the portal.

Speaker 2 6:05

Okay, well, just wondering. I'm just like old school like that. I like to sometimes

Unknown Speaker 6:09

swing by the office if I have a

Speaker 1 6:11

question or whatever. Yeah, any questions that you have, you can submit through email, but everything is handled like online and through the portal. Okay, cool.

Unknown Speaker 6:21

That was it

Unknown Speaker 6:22

awesome. I'll just run through my spiel real quick.

Speaker 1 6:28

So you know your air filter, your and electrical panel are

Speaker 2 6:34

air filter. I noticed there wasn't one, but I'll just

Unknown Speaker 6:40

DL supply them

Unknown Speaker 6:41

or so there should be one,

Unknown Speaker 6:48

yeah, at the bottom. So

Speaker 1 6:50

this guy, oh, okay, yeah, so there's not one in here, but there is an air filter that protects the unit, and then this is the other air filter. So you have to, right now every, you'll change them out every 60 to 90 days.

Speaker 2 7:05

Yeah, I was, again, I was expecting first year. Yeah, absolutely. Well, that is much cleaner and nicer than because under there, they always seem to get, like, really,

Speaker 1 7:16

definitely get dirty. But you'll change those out every 60 to 90 days, and then your appliances. So you're bringing your own washer, dryer, but the fridge is not under warranty, so if anything were happened with that, it would

Speaker 2 7:33

be speaking of, yeah, yeah. For whatever reason the bottom shelf was missing. I don't know if, okay,

Unknown Speaker 7:55

just odd, yeah.

Speaker 1 7:59

Okay, these are things that I'll go back to the offense and see if they are things that we can address, but in terms of the fridge so the they'll send somebody out at your expense. But if you don't want to sink your money into somebody else's appliances, we can take that off site, and you can bring your own appliance on site. That being said, we don't predict that to happen during the term of your lease, right? I mean,

Speaker 2 8:28

it's hopefully not. But with modern appliances, it's kind of a toss up, for sure.

Speaker 1 8:33

But every other appliance, so the dishwasher, the range, the stove, all of that is under warranty, so you'll one. If something were to happen, we'll send somebody out, and it'll be at the owners expense. And then moving forward, you're responsible for pest control and yard maintenance. I This is not an HOA, so just mow at your discretion.

Speaker 2 8:57

Basically, this will be an HOA. This will be the most relaxed detail,

Speaker 1 9:02

I definitely agree. And then cosmetic issues, anything that's, like, small touch up, paint, anything like that, we won't come out and fix, but if it's functional, please submit that through the portal and we'll send somebody out to I'm

Speaker 2 9:16

more worried about it, since it's an old house, I'm more worried about keeping my eye on, like, the foundation and those sorts of things. Because, like, after, like, what, 55 years this house is, yeah, it's 1970 so, you know, like, cracking the foundation or whatever, and then, like, fun little critters

Speaker 1 9:31

getting into, yeah, definitely submit those, any sorts of, like, big issues like that, so that we can address it. If that were to happen, the

Unknown Speaker 9:40

there's a massive gap along

Unknown Speaker 9:47

the I think that truly, really covers

Unknown Speaker 9:52

as just wasting

Unknown Speaker 9:55

money, understandable,

Speaker 1 9:59

and then so there will be a one time maintenance inspection that's going to happen closer to the winter months. So it's going to be three weeks in advance. They'll reach out to you, they'll work at your schedule, and you'll be able to, like, they're just going to come out, and they're going to check, like, the smoke detectors and

Unknown Speaker 10:19

the AC filter

Speaker 2 10:21

cool. I was wondering, would it be okay if, like, like, you know, they make those small, like, frog netting things for the highways. Would it be okay if I put one of those at the edge of the property, because I keep noticing that the spillover trash just naturally rolls out through our yard?

Unknown Speaker 10:38

Yeah, that's fine. Cool. Cool. Yeah.

Speaker 1 10:42

Anything you're welcome to make like adjustments to the property, as long as you're able to return it to like, new or like, you found it commercial.

Speaker 2 10:51

Like, is it important to return it? Or, like, leave it as is, or better, because some places I live that, like, if you make improvements and you leave it there. Like, yeah,

Speaker 1 11:01

typically, that's not going to be an issue, right? The only thing is, like, if you were to want to paint something right, your view of making it better is maybe different than somebody else's, right? So, like, that

Speaker 2 11:16

kind of subjective, yeah, I meant more like on the functional side, yeah,

Speaker 1 11:20

that should be acceptable. Cool. All right, and if you're, if you're up in the air about that. And there's like specific changes you want to make to shoot me an email and we'll be able to answer that. Cool. All right, pleasure to meet you. I'll get out your hair, thank you so much. Have a great rest of your day. Take care.
