Not so depressed anymore…

Well…okay, just got off the phone with my brother the realtor and he talked me down from the doom and gloom that had descended on me from finding out about the rentals across the street….he doesn’t think the new rentals will have any effect on the worth of my house since the neighborhood is over 50% rentals already and feels that the studies I read didn’t deal with that fact but were looking at the effect of rentals on an all owner occupied city…and he said he thinks he would list my house for 139K and we’d get that price or more for it after the work I’ve done to make it nicer…so, I guess I will have a place to live for the summer and I can take the summer off as I had planned and can plant a garden and keep working and enjoying the lakes and bike rides…I may even be able to sleep tonight which I haven’t done since Friday….now I need to do some introspection to figure out why I reacted so strongly to something I can’t control….and revel in the idea that I’ve made 50K on this place in 14 months instead of losing money as I had feared…and I can enjoy the final season of “Better Call Saul” that starts with two episodes tonight….damn, I feel better…
