All Is Illusion – yeah and $400 bucks a day? WT?

I spent a total of $19,000 cash in Cumberland, MD for three houses – debt free. $12K cash around here is like paying in full for 1-2 homes, in ONE PAYMENT… Like 3,000 square feet. – For YOUR Westside, I could buy about 41 homes in Cumberland, MD and about three pristine homes in the historic district.

If all the popular people and jobs moved here, then what would you do? – I see jobs and movie stars all the time – right here on the internet… A fool and his money quickly parts

if the buyer stays in the home rent free for 12 months before eviction,
he will have saved 12 * $12,000 = $144,000 in rental expense compared
to the cost of renting a similar home.

That is $144,000 in tax free money. More than he lost in equity.

I know this and other Westside locals. I’d love to be a knife catcher but I’m being bid out of being just plain stupid by stupider people. I’d like to know how people are paying for these properties. 1 million for a piece of sh^t. I guess I have to leave the Westside.

Personally, I love small houses. I’d just like to see small house prices for them and this isn’t it.
