i have worked my butt off, to be in a home - and, it sure, is getting hard to stay in one, esp. alone !!!

this place, no longer, suits my future plans

it's too bad, i didn't have the 5,000 to finish the rest of the renos

however, it is only the difference of getting an extra
20-25,000 - so, it's a small percent, i'd be losing,
deciding to sell as is !!!

also; i guess, it's unfortunate; cause the last of the work
is only 2 weeks of work - and, i just can't swing it alone

story of my life -- NO one wants to be my partner
(and, i kept on creating a life, larger than just me)

or, people want you, after your life is simple !!!
(and, they don't seem to want to help you simplify it)

hmmm---then you got to wonder,
after your life is simple,
the big question is -- how simple, would your life likely be...
if then, you complicated with another person) LOL

breaking free-is so much fun !!!

Exchanger - I sold 2 homes in the last year - mine and my father's - used an agent each time because I wanted to distance myself from the sale. For my dad's, I was literally distanced - several thousand miles LOL. It allowed me, also, not to get too offended when someone low-balled me on price.

If you've got potential buyers - I say, sell it on your own. If not, use an agent.

Good luck!

Life boat would be best as it can take anything the sea throws at it
Good luck with the sail

GOT 'ME' an angel investor
nothing like having a real 'angel' for a best friend
we were really recultant to ask anyone for help - anyone we know
would NOT believe we ever need any help - we always seem to get
through one month after another --
we think, we are raised as children, NOT to ask
so, we tabled a proposition-and, they said,
sure, no problem, how much do you want !!!
geez, that was easy !!!
also, we've got good friends who can do,
about $15,000 of work, for only $5000
so, everything, on a getting out of here,
looks real good

GOT another question:

if i was wording my for sale ad
would it be proper to say the following:

HANDY MAN SPECIAL - AS IS - MINOR THINGS left for you to complete
or, COMPLETELY DONE - AS PER your REQUIREMENTS

$399,999.00 as is
(2/3 already painted - 1/3 left to paint)

$410,000.00 (COMPLETELY painted)
- all floors, as is (fair/good condition)
upgraded trim, around windows, crown moulding,
and, proper moulding around the outside walls of all the rooms

$419,000.00
THE KITCHEN UPGRADED
granite floors in kitchen/2 bathrooms/and, main foyer
and, granite counter tops-new double sink

$429,000.00
SOLID hardwood in living room/dining room $429,000.00

*for an additional $2000-we can add a 2nd wood burning fireplace
to the basement level, already roughed in - currently a wood bookcase,
is built over the fireplace !!!

*fully finished basement

*laundry room/furnace room - NOT finished

We are in the process,
of finishing the last of a few simple renos
(so, depending on the amount of work completed--
this will result, in the difference of our asking price)
so 'the asking price' might vary
depending upon your viewing date

We are willing to have all the work NOT yet done,
to your specific requirements,
with regards to painting,
colour/type of hardwood,
and, colour of ceramic/or granite-or marble tiles !!!

is, that specific enough/and, make sense ???
