In 2017 my landlord raised my rent from $1k to $1100 a month for the place I rented with my daughter because I finally broke down and got her a dog. I was annoyed because this wasn’t in the lease but I was month to month by this time and figured I could probably get a house around me for the same cost and at least I’d be building equity. I closed in 2018 on a $120k fixer upper on 12 acres. I got a $30k rehab loan and my mortgage/insurance/property tax payment ended up being just over $1100. I spent 7 months in major renovations.

Fast forward to today, I have a 2.875% mortgage rate with just over $1000 a month all in payment (early COVID refi saved me about $100/month), my house was just appraised for $415k, and I was able to sell 5 acres of the land for a total of about $160k.

A free shelter dog ended up turning $150k into $575k. 10/10 would recommend.

Much appreciated!

Looks like the code is dead.

If anyone has one to spare, I’d appreciate it.

Absolutely. Beyond shit management, I’ve never seen someone so desperately in love with meme culture who absolutely does not understand humor on any level.

I mean, Wikipedia does it and they’re the 7th most visited website on the internet. 🤷

This was something I and many other progressives were wildly critical of the Biden administration for abandoning. I’m glad to see this was rectified and hope this story spreads.
