    I’m really glad you own your own plot. It’s so terrible how people get lured in with the idea of owning a home within their budget, already doing their best to stay solvent, and then they learn after becoming invested in the idea that the only places they can afford to have that home is on rented land with a landlord.

      i got super lucky i was able to score a recently renovated prefab on a plot that previous owners were on rent-to-own scheme and the company had to sell it below market

      paid the price of a new pickup for a house and then two years later it triples in value as the market goes insane everywhere. i guess the lesson is sometimes a house on craigslist isn’t just a scam or an attempt to murder you
