I doubt there would be. He most likely will do some major renovations and what's left behind can be thrown in his dumpsters.
Too funny....100% of nothing is....ahem.....nothing
I thought that about Got Junk. They did a great job, and took things I couldn't take to St. Vincent de Paul's thrift store. I didn't care if they took some of the stuff and sold it. There were two stereo shelve sets still in their original very heavy boxes, for example. More power to them if they want to sell some of my stuff.
Just the house and lot. He said anything that isn't part of, or permanently attached to, the standing structure will have to be removed. He especially pointed out the drapes and curtain rods and the stove and fridge. He is going to gut it and make it over into a 2 unit house.
Saw it this morning on another of your threads and commented there.
I see you live down in Texas. But us northers here like to have full-size LINED' drapes to pull over windows to keep the cold out. When the sun is out we pull them back to let the sun in to help warm the house. Sure makes a big difference in the heating bill.
What you wrote about your children not wanting your stuff reminds me of what my sister told me. She has fine china (different sets for each season), beautiful crystal pieces and nice silverware sets. Her daughter has already told her she doesn't want that stuff. I understand about the silverware. I've had my mother's silverware for a couple of decades...still haven't taken time to clean the pieces. My sister also has beautifully dressed Barbie dolls still in their boxes. I'm sure they are worth a lot now. I hope my niece and nephew take that into account when the time comes.
My mother bequeathed her silverware to my daughter. I hope she takes care of it. Right now, it is a heavy box, which no one has opened.
Well, there you go. It's a lot more than $60K, and it's worth a shot, if you don't mind the delay caused by having it on the market.
Teak furniture is beautiful. I know what you mean about prices. The dining room set my mother had before she and my father moved to an apartment would be worth a fortune now. I was just getting started on my own and wound up moving to the same development (where I've been for 50 years) so I couldn't take the set. I don't know what she did with it. Good of you not to engage in an argument with your sister about your mom's stuff. Some young people appreciate the older furniture and antique items and some don't. I know one thing...the older stuff was made better. One factor I think is the ease of care for those items.
I'd been telling my mom for years that I would give my sister first choice, and I meant it. My sister cares a lot more about having possessions than I do. She is a collector of sideboards, china, and mid-century Christmas trees and ornaments... probably more but I haven't been to her house, so I don't know.
Not if it's going to someone who is going to remodel or tear it down. They look right past the "stuff" and focus on the neighborhood, the land, the comps, and the bones of the house.
Her house has osteoporosis
Well, I wouldn't. I don't want the job of getting rid of someone else's stuff. OTOH, I could probably afford to hire it done, if I had enough money to hire someone to fix the house.
That feels like blackmail. I’m not liking that man.
I collect winter underwear, in moderation. One pair for each day of the week, not each day of winter. I used to have a lot of shoes. But my feet grew a size when I was pregnant with the boys. After that, the shoes were not suitable for taking care of kids. But when my daughter came along, I enjoyed buying her really pretty shoes of all different colors. My sons were disgusted because they couldn't fathom why girls had so many shoes. I especially loved the European ones, which I purchased brand new on eBay for reasonable prices. She loved Doc Martins, so I got her a pair of yellow boots with fish drawn all over them. I was living my love of shoes again, through my daughter's "needs". Her teachers said she was the best dressed girl in school. She was, but only because I also like European clothes that are colorful and beautifully designed. Luckily, my daughter liked all of this attention to her wardrobe.
