Time Is Still on Our Side in This Crazy Housing Market
because taking her time made us an extra $100,000.
My wife bought a house near our home in Florida three years ago. Her plan was to renovate it and sell it for a profit. (She actually likes putting on the tool belt, firing up the compressor, and doing much of the work herself.)
It was supposed to take 18 months for her to update the place like the folks do on HGTV. And she hoped her (mostly) sweat equity would result in a $100,000 profit.
The thing is, life gets in the way of finishing on time…
