A house near my old home was on sale for 4 years before it went at 40% of the innitial value. It was brand new to begin with and just had a few adjustments made and was resold for market value.
the real estate business s great if you have the ingenuity and contacts.
(the house was on the block for 4 years because a guy killed himself, wife and drowned the 2 kids in the bathtub.) |
see im an opportunist. I would have turned that house into a haunted house and charged admission |

i know the guy...the only things he did was steam clean,fresh paint, new bathroom.(i don't believe in ghosts an but i dont think i could have showered in a tub that 2 kids were drowned in)
that's a net profit of over 200k

Take the decission if you want to settle or not. Putting the money in the house you like will end the other dream.
I am in a sort similair situation. I have a house on a very wanted piece of parcel to invest. I still can cash upto 70.000 euro to either invest and rent the place or make it my dreamhouse.
Some times I am dreaming of nice BBQ's and parties with friends in my upgraded house. Other days I think fack it rent the place and make cash out of.
Option 1 will bring alot of rest in me. Option 2 can open more dreams, but I will have to live smaller and sacrifice.
It's hard, but I will go for option 2 eventually. Why? I have a good job. Worked my ass off till now, but always played safe. Now it's time for some risks and get REALLY somewhere. |

If you don't mind me asking, how much is the house for sale? |
its not really the pricetag of the place, its more important to have a good down payment, and low interest rate. if you do it right, you can finance a $200k house for only $700 a month.
good luck - looks like a sweet place. |

| nice... hope it works for you. my bf just bought a condo two days ago that we really liked. how is the housing market out there? it's ridiculously expensive to live in massachusetts in general. my mm is looking for a house now as well and the average house price is about 450,000. |
