Off-topic but just to present a counterpoise -- My property was purchased for 5 figures in 1998, prior to the real estate bubble in 2007, it was appraised at 6 figures (exactly twice the original price), If I had sold it at this point, the story would have ended. However, after 2008 it was worth 1 and a half times the price. Further, to complicate matters, a real estate developer opened up a new street and houses right at my fence-line. Now the new tenents of the new houses could look right into my back yard from their rear windows. Property value was now 1 and a quarter the original price (just a grand past 6 figures).
I had to work away from the property for a while and hired a person to look after the property. He had to move his brother in to watch it for the better part of 24/7 as the local heroin addicts were stealing copper and everything else that they could to support their stupidity and obsession with getting as much heroin in their veins as was humanly possible. While the property was unwatched over a week-end, the drug abusers stripped out all the copper pipes, destroyed the heat exchanger and took as much electrical wiring as was possible.
It's in a good neighborhood, I can't say as much for my "neighbors" however.
The property is now valued at the price of the greatly diminished lot value: 18000 dollars. I lost 70000 plus interest, electricity, water, sewage, maintenance and theft.
And before you say "You should have sold it in 2007!", I say "My mother didn't raise any psychics. Let's see you do better."
