That’s where I have been dumping all of my paychecks
However I can’t afford another 2008 at my age
I do want to buy the acre of land that just went up for sale next to my existing house / acre of land
But she decided to go with a realtor instead of taking my cash offers the last 15 years
She couldn’t make up her damn mind back then and now of course the realtor made up her mind for her by overpricing it by $20,000
that sucks
i got a story like that
the house to the south of me has a nice polebarn on it
but, it is on on their south side as well
so there is one house in between me and the barn
because of local regulations, you can not have a barn on a plot of land without a domicile, unless you own the adjacent plot of land and have a domicile on there
as i result, i could not buy the barn, and what is even worse, it got sold to some people from illinois who are not the kind of people you want as neighbors
im kinda hoping that in time, i might be able to buy the house of the old lady across the street
it has a detached three stall garage, but comes with a whole nother can of worms
if i understand it correctly, she is part of on of the 5 richest families in town but she is not on speaking terms with most of them
they do send one of their employees from the marina to clean her driveway when it snows, but that seems to be about it
long story short, her house is registered to a trust, so i dont even know if she could sell it to me, even if she wanted
