The mortgage was paid off in 1980, by then the value of the property rose to $250K.

DM'd an Out of State list and had this older lady call me super angry/upset that I sent a letter addressed to her deceased husband.

One of the ladies in our group - a single mom herself- started a nonprofit and works to get these moms into affordable rental housing.

I back that up when I see the elderly ladies picking up trash on the main street, fearlessly right in front of the drug dealers, and yell out my window cheering them on (that goes for the contractors fixing too).

I’ll second this one and you may not always know about them ahead of the purchase but my first bed and breakfast we knew we had one ghost and we just couldn’t sell the house so we knew a lady that communicated with spirits (if you don’t believe in this that’s fine) and had her come over and there were 4 ghosts and she was able to get 3 of them to leave except for the original owner of the house who wanted the new owners to take good care of the property.

Thank you guys/ladies for welcoming me.... 

I often hire the contractor that are reliable but bids in the middle of the spread, and I often have leases that probably have room for adjustments, but if my deals works for my own metrics at conservative metrics, I will do it.And slowly the market rose, and then very very steeply we entered a seller's market.

The Code guy shows up with a Code lady like this is an auto accident and they got to have six cops on the scene.

The guy who had power of attorney for the sale told me that the old lady who had the house kind of lost it and filled the truck top to bottom with household trash that had sat in the truck for years.
