The only other thing I'm iffy about in this house is the finished attic bedroom (does have a closet up there), there is a large dome shaped skylight window.

The house was a stunning example of a bygone era, and under $500k.

I am looking for someone more local to me to bounce my questions off of, and it can be via email, because the person who I have learned some from is out in CA and I am not sure if it the age difference; the market difference; the experience difference or dome other thing altogether causing problems but he has me at a point where I am constantly confused about real estate.His constantly looking for the next way to make cash always kills whatever current project he mentors me on, and it makes me wonder if I am just not getting things.

This is stunning!

Many property owners, including myself are watching our bills grow and are stunned.

Im sure everyone will say that, if you feel you know something very well and thats where your heart is then do it dont go and do something you dont want to do. Me

I might respond or might not, but you have lost me as a buyer for that property.If I were someone looking for a house to live in, I would be totally stunned with your response.

A *good* President would have sat there with a stunned look on his face for about 30 seconds, and then would have gone back to reading a children's book...Like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?

They should have fired canisters of tear gas and maybe some stun/flash bang grenades before attempting to board.

Thanks Bill,Yes NZ is a stunning country, especially the South Island, unbelievable natural and clean.
