Why I Hate Miami
March 17th, 2017Frisbee-Throwing Room
I am praying about getting an appraiser for the property I like in Marion County. I don’t want to make the wrong decision, and the best way to do that is to go with my own instincts instead of getting God’s guidance.
Today I looked at a phone photo I took last week. I decided to put it on the blog.
That’s a shot of the house, barn, and workshop, from the far end of the lot. Across the fence to the right is some kind of farm, and by “farm,” I mean a real farm, not a hobby farm like the one I’m standing on. The grey thing on the left is on someone else’s land. It’s too close! I feel oppressed.
I also made the photo my PC background. That may have been a mistake. It hurts to look at it.
The farm is a long rectangle. I would rather have a squarish lot, because it would feel more secluded, but a long lot is not bad when one side is bare farmland.
The area where I’m standing is wooded. Looks like the brush needs to be taken out. A shaded area will be nice because it will cut the sameness.
I’m afraid the place doesn’t have closets in the two smaller bedrooms. I can’t recall seeing any. But who builds a bedroom without a closet? Surely they exist. I emailed the realtor to find out.
Hope it works out. In any case, I’m going SOMEWHERE.

Wishing you all the best with it.

I count a total of three “red flags” in your short post.
That’s three too many for a place you are thinking of buying.
I have a saying, and use that in my current profession as a real estate broker:
“Two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered in land, most of which will be for sale at some point during your lifetime. If you’re about to buy a place but red flags pop up, then it’s time to look at some other places.”
I’ll be praying along with you about this.

Oh gosh, it’s BEAUTIFUL!!
Who cares about closets, you have tools, and could build something! 😀
Not trying to influence you, but, oohh. There’s a wonderful feel to it. I could stand there just looking, for hours!

I’m using it for my computer desktop.

Sharkman, thank you for the advice. The good news is that the bedrooms do, indeed, have closets.
