A house can provide a person a place of refuge and a shelter – we call that a home.
A house, though, is also made up of materials. Bricks, mortar, wood, cement, pipes, wiring, and sometimes other things that we would rather not know about.
Yesterday we took a look at a house. One that is up for sale.
The foundation is solid. Looks like no great problems there. A giant pine tree towers in the front yard. The owners had lovingly watered it – apparently the roots got all the water they needed.
Inside, the wiring is older – somewhat outdated. The plumbing has had various tricks added to the original pipes – I call them “farmer fixes”. The layout has been altered somewhat – in a good way.
Overall a place you could occupy without a problem. As to fixing it up – the question is always whether you can get your money out of it. I would call this a low to medium level return on investment.
Yes, a house is a house. And what you do with it is up to you!
