The cedar siding wasn't clear grade, but I liked the variation in texture.

I have a sizable  amount of equity in my house; however, I’ve saved up six figures that I am ready to use to plant some seeds.

At least a family of four will vacuum the carpet and plant some flowers in front and generally try to make it look like a home.

First time I tried one with texture that looked like wood floors. 

Additionally there was a empty orange juice gallon bottle container outside of the condo unit used to water the plants outside and they just left it in the picture whereas I would’ve moved it out.

So right now I'm playing with the idea of buying a SFH, planting roots (single father of two), and ... or investing in units outside of my state.
