Got An Offer Today On My House

[Zee09]

You have two houses sitting vacant? Every thought about collecting stamps or classic cameras or cars or anything some would call more sensible and that you could get regular enjoyment from?

No I prefer houses with all due respect.

No I prefer houses with all due respect.

That does put your hobby high on the unique scale.

I go back and visit the house often and admire my work like a true has-been............
Sort of like a car guy lovingly detailing his ride.
Or better yet @AutoMechanic grooming Chinese food for his discriminating palette.

The party is over.
I will be selling and since I am on a roll, I will be selling several other properties as well.
I decided I no longer enjoy tons of yard work, mowing, and cutting trees and all the other expenses
like taxes and insurance.
When I get on a roll, I get moving. The one house will be a great pension for me as a self-employed person.

When I get everything sold and build new If I get another person bothering me to buy my house
I will be like the old man in the movies... Get off my property......................

Best wishes my BITOG cyber-friend. Knowing how difficult even small, letting-go decisions can be for me, I applaud your boldness!

Thank you my friend!
Time to move on it seems.

Just think how many Hot Wheels cars you'll be able to buy for your collection with the proceeds from one house.

Settlement is October 5th...

Last night I signed a contract for house #2
My niece and her husband have been after me for 3 years to sell it.
I wasn't ready but am now.
Again, a great offer- no inspections and they took all my furniture and my Kubota gasser.
I gave them an in-depth tour last night with all the paperwork etc.
I asked them if anyone ever gave such a full disclosure of the great and less than great. Both instantly said-never..
The tour took 90 minutes- this place is very large and fits their family well.

Settlement mid-October.
After the first one went- it's easy to do.
Next is a 22-acre parcel of land.

Zee09, I'm of the opinion I don't want to own any real property except the place I live in.
Take the money and run is my way.

Case in point is my across the street neighbor, who built his " retirement dream house" a good 15 years ago, then retired and never moved in... so for the last 15 years he has owned, paid taxes, insurance, electric, maintained and other wise paid for a house that he will never live in..

also worth pointing out my parents had 3 different places... not for me....

I wish I had the money to be property insane. I don't want properties, I'd put it toward the medical school scholarships program I wish I could create.

Yup and if I do buy anything it would be vacant land.
But at this point I totally agree. I'm really sick of scavengers too.
