All went well yesterday! The closing is complete. I'm still cleaning and moving! Our focus has changed a bit..I was preparing Alford to rent...now a new plan.
We did learn yesterday that renting Alford is not a great idea...we have to keep it our primary residence or we get zapped on "capital gain" taxes......so after much thought through the rest of the day .. I suggested we rent the new Lenox house for the summer. We need to be in Alford anyway getting the house ready to sell....so at this point it seems to make sense to rent Lenox at it's peak season. ...Tanglewood season. We'll stay in Lenox the rest of the school year starting mid-March- June but we'll live "very simply" so not to make rental preparation difficult. We have a locked garage in the new house so we can store everything in there that we don't want to be in the "rental". This way we can free up space in Alford to make it easy to clean and prepare when it is being shown to prospective buyers.
So that's the story in a nutshell! Tomorrow we go to NYC for day to have Natalie's "post surgery appt". She got her hair cut short..I'll post photos if I ever have a minute!!! lol Life is busy!!! SOO busy!
Best,
Tonya
