I need to find motivation to work on the place I'm in now

What part of the country

 

[Scout734]

This is the house my husband and I built from the ground up. I loved that place.

This is the house I bought after my husband passed. I needed to be closer in to town. I didn't want to live by myself in such a rural area. Paid $225k and sold for $302k 6 years later. It's worth $500k now.
It's actually got it's own video when it resold a few years ago

East side of Cincinnati, Ohio area

Property values are a lot lower here and so are wages. You can still buy a fixer-upper for $50,000.

I must be a jinx. Of all the houses I have ever lived in, only one still exists. Both of my childhood homes are gone.

We still drive by my grandparents house in Laguna Beach. Paid $16k in 1964, my dad inherited it in 1975, and sold it for $160k. Today, it is worth $2.5m. Funny thing, it only has 1 bedroom and 2 baths.

Amazing...
If we only knew then what we know now.

When I was married the second time I bought 10 acres out in the country and there was a cave on it. Sold it when we divorced. Gave $5,000 for it. Now it would bring $80,000 to $100,000.

Chris, don't you still have a chunk of land, in what I believe was Kingman, Az?

Those are some nice houses. The west coast has a lot less cool stuff.

It's all relevant in most place, make less things are less, make more things are more. Only way to win that one is do like I did, live where it's expensive and move to where it's cheap.

I have 5 acres outside Kingman and two one acre house lots outside Tucson
