I’m going off line for a week.
We moved from SC to Florida about six years ago, and during that time, we’ve arranged for our house to be rented out. We never made a profit, but it was a nice tax write-off.
Then, we get a tax notice that our house has gone up in value about $20,000.
WTF, say we, so Ivylad calls our realtor up there.
Sure ‘nuff, she said, houses in your area in good condition are going for about double what we paid for our house about 10 years ago.
So, with dollar signs in our eyes and paint brushes in hand, we trek to SC to repaint the house, arrange for new appliances and new carpeting, and get our house all pretty to pass along to the next homeowner.
I plan on eating at Sticky Fingers and maybe devouring a bowl of she-crab soup up there. I’ll see you later!
