Well…I would be remiss if I didn’t bring today’s date to everyone’s attention…2-2-22…and it’s groundhog day where there is no consensus on whether or not we are going to have 6 more weeks of winter…from what I’ve seen, it’s about 50\/50…back to the date…this is probably the last date like this I am going to see since the next one is 3-3-33 and I’m really not sure if I have 12 more years in me…that would make me really old and, while there is longevity in my family, it might be a bit much to hope for 12 more years….it looks like they are putting a second house on the lot across the street that is going to be about 3 feet from the first one that went up…and I know they are going for over 150K but who the heck wants to pay that much to live right on top of your neighbor? It won’t be much different than living in a damn apartment and you will be able to hear everything going on next door and I really, really hated that when I lived in an apartment….but, at least it will block out my view of the ugly, run down rentals that are one street over and they are new so that is cool…and I can luxuriate on my double lot with my big lawn and I don’t have to hear the neighbors…and I didn’t pay 150-180K for mine…and the forecast for price growth for housing this year is about 16%…so if mine is worth 110K now, it will be worth 126K by the end of the year and I will have made almost 40K in the year and a half I will have been here….and that means I’ll have almost 80K in equity by the end of the year…not bad for being broke three years ago…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
