Fixer Upper
Since housing real estate
is about to melt
right through the pan
because it is so dang hot,
I asked my real estate professional
to help me find something.
I wanted something a little remote,
and perhaps with a view.
Here is what we decided on.
It needs a little work.
But the arches in the doors and windows
are absolutely fabulous.
If you look carefully,
You can see the nice work on the aquaduct.
Many of the stones probably weigh a 1/2 ton.
So they tend to stay where they are.
The roof is gone because the previous tenants didn't maintain it.
Had they just continued to plaster the roof,
the mud, brick, timber roof would had still been there.
The yard is xeriscaped already,
so I don't have to
worry about that expense.
And I'm going to get a 99 % loan
on the house and improvements.
And, I'm going to sell my house,
for a lot of money,
I'm going to be rich rich rich
And, I'm going to buy an old house.
And fix it up.
Yeah that's it.
A Fixer Upper.
That's the ticket.

That's a magnificent stack of stone--almost too beautiful to improve on or disturb. Yet I can see it restored, roof and all, to last another millenium.
For my money I'd take the upper that needs the fixin'--plate that is. Know the best place on earth a Beverly Hills-billy Granny might venture to vacation for that kind of fixer elixer, say for under $2,000?
You should see the hand made cobble stoned drive leading up to this place.

is this in MLS? my broker didn't show it to me.
This is pretty funny. Nice way to lampoon the housing frenzy that is about to sink the economy and wreck hundreds of thousands of lives.
