My last house was awesome! It went up 60k in two years! I like to buy low and get high.. Um I mean sell High!
Man that is great. The wife and I plan to flip some houses, but I have been told up here around Eugene is a shit market for it. Good thing is I can tear one down and put it back so contractor cost / labor cost stay low for me.

Some Pineaple chunk from the indoor. Our new yard dog. Mastiff x Pitt mix, comes from a line of garden security dogs. And some touch ups on the green house. Added some more lights and after coming out the last couple mornings and seeing moths on the seedlings and mothers I decided to try and find a solution. Your move moths....

Thats the best imo, sweat equity! live in it and fix it then sell it. Repo homes are basicilly less appealing just because they are empty rather than someone living there and potential problems. Get a good home inspection so you know what you are getting into and the value basically increases just by you moving in.

Yea I used to do home inspections and owned a remodel company for a few years till we wanted to move. Been building just cabinets for the past three years now. I have made it a point to become proficient at most all the skills needed just to flip house one day. Has come in handy for PapaPayne since I got out west.

I'm lucky my high school was good enough and had enough funding to pick out kids like me and put them in classes to frame walls, run power and water, and rebuild small motors... They were all about not having kids fail later in life, college isnt for everyone so they taught work skills early. Now I build my own race cars and fix my house. I like to think Im pretty handy but after seeing treemans house... I'm more of a fixer upper...

I had baby's to feed so I did not like to say I can't do that. I went to school in Atlanta and did the vocational classes too. I took auto mechanics, and graphic design classes till I dropped out and moved out of my folks place. What kind of race car you working on? We want a 34 5 window Chevy coupe to play with.
