After years of discussion, my husband Marc and I decided to invest in our first holiday rental property, then over the years, we wanted to take the leap, however something constantly came up and we decided to take those things as a sign that the time wasn’t right! So, when everything lined up perfectly and it was all clear, we moved forward with our goal; The rental is a lovely 2-home office apartment that’s overlooking a lake, it also has a screened-in balcony which is a big perk, however when we purchased the property, it needed some work, and with the help of his brother, Marc was able to renovate the apartment for legitimately little cost.
Because we saved so much on the renovations, we had quite a bit of funds to spend on decorating the condo.
Marc trusted me to decorate it however I wanted, and with a bigger budget, I was able to be a bit more creative. Prior to decorating, I contacted my friend Amanda for some interior design ideas. Over the years, when I needed interior design help with my home, I have constantly contacted his and have never given me awful advice or ideas. So, I knew he would be the perfect guy to consult for interior design ideas, however amanda is so good at his craft that after seeing the renovated apartment for 10 minutes, he already had a vision in his head. And the interior design idea that he came up with was out of this world. I am blissful that he was able to help me with the apartment and after decorating, it was rented in record time.
