So where is you profit? I know this by living in a house in London Gants Hill for 20 years. Bought it for $18,000 sold it for $500,000 3 years ago. If I had wanted to buy another like it I would have spent all the money I had. Moved to Czech where it's a bit cheaper.
You give yourself away so easily. You are one of life's dreamers.

Clueless people are always in doubt. I paid $261,000 for the "shack" and sold it 11 years later for $456,000...which in round numbers is 200 grand more than I paid for the house...and I call it profit. You feel free to call it whatever clueless ones like you choose to call it. FYI the house was paid for...and I did not buy another house like it...the $456,000 went into mutual funds...which is where all of my money will be when I complete the sale on the remainder of my properties. Dividends are pretty much hassle free...though I don't choose to collect them. My VA check and Social Security check more than meet my monthly needs.
If you thought that house was a "shack" then I do not know what your clueless mind would choose to call my current abode...nor do I care. It is about a 1200 sq foot modular...and the market value is probably around $40-50 grand...and is 17 years old but I find it to be cute...cozy...nicely located and being single it is all that I need. BTW :321GFY or the content that you call wife.
