Never miss an opportunity for a feel-good put down.

So you would prefer me to lie about how I feel? It was not a put down, btw. It was a comment about myself. I sure you found that kitchen perfectly similar to yours and therefore acceptable to you. ”Different strokes for different folks.”

And post #13: "I just can’t understand why you let it get in such a bad state."
You're just overflowing with compassion & understanding. 😂
By now, you should be feeling good all over.

WOW @win231 you are a bucket of cheer in my current sad and stressful life. 😊.

The holidays are often very stressful, especially for people, well, hmm, like you. And since we are such good friends, I understand your need for negative attention; but my patience overflows. Therefore, I will explain more, just for you @win231, just for you.

Letting a house get in disrepair is an mistake and effects the price of the home. So yes, I can’t understand why anyone does not keep up the repairs of their house, as a house is a solid investment which is suppose to INCREASE in value over the years.

I saw this all the time when house shopping. Look at MLS 1782237. Such a loss of money in tough economic times. This house should sell for 450,000 plus due to its location instead 350,000. 🤮 to this house, didn’t even bother to look at it. I would not walk into it even wearing a mask.

Yes, by not repairing a house you save money in the short run, but you lose money in the long run. Therefore, my comment is a financial comment, I suppose you missed that in your haste to attack me once again-feeling lonely win? Needing attention? Call 1800-whatever. 😂

Or maybe it just didn’t occur to you as you get out so little. 😉

You aren't capable of getting it. Or, (more likely) you just don't want to get it.
It has nothing to do with home values or property values or the importance of home repairs.
It has everything to do with insulting & degrading someone who probably can't afford to keep up a house.
 
I'm jumping on the couldn't afford to keep up the house.
If you would take the time to go back over deb's posts.
I believe she mentions the job she had.
If my memory correct right her job sounded like it paid well.

Factor in the fact it sounds like deb was care giver for her parents.
She had little time to care for the house,,
She gave me the vibe that her parents may not have wanted or perhaps could not afford house manintance.

Just something for all us to think about,, who still own their own home.
Do you have the funds for both home care givers & money for house maintance?
 
Hi!
Just reviewed photos..and, as is said in the R.E. business.."the bones are there" 👍
I don't think " it's in that 'bad a shape' "...
Some investor..who knows everyone( contractors) will fix it up..lickey-split.. and with all those bedrooms turn it into a bed and breakfast.
No problem, Deb!
And Good Luck!😉

The point is that her mother died 15 years ago. Based on some of her posts, she has more than enough money to pay for repairs, but opted not to.
I can understand that a person can get into a situation where they are afraid of running out of money and this causes analysis paralysis.
The positive aspects are the fact she got rid of a lot of junk, bought a new home, and has the old house for sale. Everything else is water under the bridge.
 
Over the last year Deb has posted many pictures of the deterioration of her home. She even called it a disaster. Wanting to move & having the ability to pay cash for a home that sold for $288,000.00 should be a clue that not making repairs as needed was possible.

The reality is, what Deb decided is her choice. I wish her well & hope she truly enjoys her new home. I have to admit though I'm going to miss the ongoing drama of Deb describing the various faults in her old home.

Who am I ”insulting or degrading”? I am giving my opinion-of me. 😂😂😂 @win231 you must be desperate for a fight with me. Nope not going to happen. Try using your ignore button 😉. I am sure it will work for you.

I'm sorry, but, go back far enough through Deb's earlier postings and pictures and I think you'll find the "bones" aren't there. I remember the basement issues (water intrusion) which could only be fixed with a complete drainage re-do around the perimeter of the house. Then there was the crumbling bricks and rotted window casings allowing water to enter the house and rot from the inside out. If you look at the current pictures, you'll see almost every room has water or mold damage. Extremely expensive to repair. (I know, I had to one time). Start adding it all up and if anyone comes even close to the asking price, I say, take the money and run.
Hopefully Deb will find contentment in her new digs. :)

Rather new to SF..so was unaware of all the previous posts.
Sorta..off subject..but relative

A friend of mine lives in a small town that was "losing it's downtown"..
A guy from Ireland came in..bought various buildings...restored..
Revitalization!..👍
So, there are people "out there"..that just may wanna "take on".. something
that others would consider impossible!

Did anyone ever see the show...I think it was called Welcome to the Chateau.
An English couple bought an old 14 th chateau in France that you would think couldn't be restored..it was something to see in the end.

And as my R.E. friend said..."There's a house..out there...for everybody!"😉
