I'm in the former, and I know a guy who is in the latter... unfortunately, it goes both ways  |
Yup, we sold the house we used to live in in Calgary before we moved out to Chestermere for almost no profit, after I had to replace the flooring downstairs 3 times, rip out everything and treat for mold once, rip out everything to 4 feet of the floor once, etc..
And if I would have waited 3 more months I could have made another $50,000. We were going to rent it but figured we'd be losing $100 a month so we didn't do it.
That's why I like to hear the successes, because it reminds me that sometimes you miss, but sometimes you don't.
