Today has been one of those days. Nothing managed to be completed on this useless day. My mood hasn't helped. I get worked up about doing something and then comes the realisation that no matter what I do it isn't going to happen.
I have tossed around all the options and tried to find a way to come up with the money to buy that old house at auction (I had the agent email me more photos of the rear which shows just how derelict the place is), but no matter which way I angled it I just can't do it!
I guess it will go for around land value and the dear old thing will be bulldozed instead of restored - I do love old places, they have such an aura of timelessness when restored properly.
The work load doesn't faze me, every house I have owned has been a wreck when I bought it - all liveable but in need of major tlc - all have returned me at least double my outlay for my efforts. One more than trebled in less than two years. Mind you that one didn't have an unbroken window when I bought it and looked a shocker with glass everywhere through the carpets. But with a bit of work it shone.
Where I am now hasn't increased as much, yes it has gone up with the work done so far and looks a million times better than it did but with the market as depressed as it has been I can't expect the dramatic rises that occur in good times.
Perhaps a miracle might happen - fingers crossed!
