Well…damn, another day of working my butt off but it looks like it will be my last on this house….after finding out that the new houses across the street are rentals and reading studies that show that the introduction of rental property depresses the worth of other properties in the neighborhood by 15 to 30%…so the act of them just putting out that rental sign cost me at least 15,000 dollars and possibly more…whatever the cost, I’ve lost almost all of what I made on the house in the past 14 months and the prospect of the worth of this place going up again at all is virtually nil…so there is no reason for me to bust my ass making this place or this neighborhood better…and that really sucks…I thought I had found the place to enjoy for the rest of my life and the greed of both the developers and the city has made that impossible….typical rich get richer and the hell with everyone else…
