Well I did have that in the back of my mind when I first bought this place. I have noticed that of my well-heeled friends, the ones who've taken it up a notch with personal finances most quickly have been the ones who built cash-generating property holdings. I half-joked that I got this big tract to be the start of my property empire!
Then I got married!
Had my husband's small business thrived, we'd have stayed here longer, and eventually I could have built the side lots out myself (my way!). The student housing rental market around here has been in a protective bubble during even the worst of the past year's economic twists.
But hubby's business rather sucked him dry after 10 years, and he's on to other things, which will work much better from our new base in the "big city." We felt fortunate to get out of this property on the plus side in this climate, and by the same token, we are getting so much more house for the $ buying in the city at this time.
I was able to sleep past daybreak this morning - the construction sites to either side of me are blissfully quiet today. We're getting used to "the look" of the place, and staying super busy packing up to get on out. I think the 911 is going to her temporary home this weekend. SNIFF! Need to tuck her away for awhile until we are in the new place.
