It is an antique with Olde World Charm -- a semi-attached English Tudor in North Flushing.

While it was immediately apparent to me that buy and hold real investing was the most logical and assured path to wealth, and I consider myself a disciple of the Kiyosaki approach (at least in theory), I saw it as an antiquated formula in need of update.

Paint-Antique white, a few realtors I know call it "for-sale khaki."  

I know how to make that work also, but unfortunately my work laptop resets to an antiquated browser everytime that I turn it on, so that feature doesn't work.

@Martin Peter There is actually a market for the antiques you will often come across when updating a home.

But it was a historic home with an antique front door and antique pine hardwoods, neither of which could be adequately replaced with the insurance money.On the positive side (if you can call it that) he was able to begin the eviction process on the remaining tenants immediately.

There's a social next week on the 10th starting at 5:30p at the Nouveau Antique Art bar located at 2913 Main St.

It's an antique with a livestock barn and artist's loft and is an approved short sale as-is at $380,000.  

I was going to try to rent spaces for antique, crafts and second hand items, but this hasn't materialized.

Even with a 50% vacancy rate this home will support itself and put money in our pockets (4 bed, 3 bath completely renovated antique cape sitting at the end of a dead end road surrounded by pastures).
