i'm figuring the rest of the remod is ~ 2 grand

800 ish on a counter
200 ea for the vanities, 200 each for the mirrors, 200 each for the lighting

200-500 for labor

so, that still leaves me with a buttload of cash that i don't know what to do with. lol
 
House yes, condo not so much - atleast in my area. Condos are a saturated market. I would really not do much more to the condo and throw the cash into a savings/retirement type account.

after these last mods are done, i'm going to list for 159, and won't let it go for less than 157 come the end of summer or something. i'im stuck here till nov, else i'm going to get hit with capital gains.

i paid 147,500 for it
i owe 140,100 on it as a loan buyout figure.

so i'm looking at 12 grand profit (minus the 5k i put into it, assuming i spend about 2 on the remaining stuff above), and with my payoff, that leaves me about 20 grand in my pocket towards the new house.
so, really, i don't need to 'save' for the new house. i'll have a DP for it from the condo sale.
 
well this is freaking crazy..

my dad just shot me an email.

my elderly neighbors to my parents' house passed away in nov-ish one right after the other.

my parents and i would always take care of their snow and leaves in the fall and otherwise were good neighbors to them.

I guess their daughter came over last night and handed my old man a check for 20 grand. They left our family in their will for helping them out through out the years.

my old man is splitting it 4 ways (one for each of us, mom, dad, sis, and me), so i got another 5 grand coming in that i totally didn't ever expect.

my dad said:
I don't want you blowing this at the Indians or on strippers
Indians of course is referring to the casinos here in CT that are run by the tribes. lol

so not counting the remod, i got 9 grand to do something with. :eek:o:eek:o

my complex is in pretty high demand. i shouldn't have a problem selling it at all.
 
You're not going to get 159/157k in the market today. Prices have dropped significantly, unfortunately. You're looking at 135 - 140 max in today's market.
 
3 units down from me just sold for 153, and its a shit hole.
i don't think i'll have a problem hitting near my mark

You're estimates are off too;
Kitchen counter - 400
Vanities are ok.
Mirrors; 50 bucks/ea
Lighting; depends what you want

Labor: you have a carpenter friend that's typing this...
 
These prices are straight from Beverly Hills.

It's amazing he saves money at all.
 
:shrug2: who knows what will happens between now and the end of summer too. shit could spike, shit could drop hardcore.

worst come to worst, ill just stay here. its not like i have to move. if i don't get what i want for it, i won't sell it. its simple as that.
 
my vote would be to save it for now, especially if there is nothing you really really want/need....

but shit i wouldnt take my own advice , if i had 9k to play with id already have my 07 600rr and not be waiting till june lol
 
go DO something, go on a weekend vacation. Throw a party at the condo and hire a stripper. Reward yourself for being successful and don't take yourself seriously for a weekend.
