passed by the old house today

I soled my parent's house after they were gone for $40 K which wasn't much because it required extensive modernization. The buyer did a complete re-model and sold it for $147 K.

that's what my dd has done in the past ... she bought up houses that needed renovating , got it all done quickly, new kitchens, new underfloor heating, bathrooms, etc.. then flipped them within 18 months at a good profit. Doing this along with working full time at 2 jobs, meant she fulfilled her dream of buying and running a business in a foreign country for over 10 years.
She's been back in the Uk for a year now, and due to circumstances beyond her control, she's had to rent this last 11 months, and now has just bought her first property again.. a bungalow in a lovely area, but needs quite a bit of updating having been owned by an elderly couple and not had any maintenance done for probably 20 years ... . She'll have that renovated in no time while she lives in it...and then depending on her circumstances with regard her job, she'll stay for a while or Flip again, and move... ..

I see I'm not the only senior that doesn't keep up on the home maintenance.

well.. how can I say this without causing offence.. ermm.. lets' say that the maintenance needed on my daughter's properties were a lot less extensive than those needed on your old house... :LOL:..in fact in some of them, most people would have been happy to live in them as they were but to make the maximum return on them of course, my dd, wanted to install the latest or nicest versions of things..like the underfloor heating, new ultra modern kitchens and bathrooms etc..

I looked today when passing and there a huge cherry picker there. Looks like they're putting a new roof on it. Also a cement mixer in the back corner.
