Nope! I KNMOW it was gionna cost a buttloadto resore this house to it's former glory!! But I'm gonna DO IT DAMMIT! Someone has to now, else it would eventually get McMansionized (as so many houses in this neighborhood have done!) or worse yet scraped flat and rebuilt AS a McMansion with NO SOUL OR CHARACTER!!

I didn't know how much I'd inherit, so I'm kinda glad I ended up living in this place, because those big old mansion style houses in the CWE were I was first in "shared student living" would probably have been o0put of my price range to restore, but I can AFFORD to restore THIS HOUSE! And it's gonna be SO COOL! A Hippie Pad in the basement in the old wet bar room, run a fast Internet connection WIRE (Ethernet!) to it and make a zillion$ doing Podcasts with my crazy friend Barb!! :-)

I have a VERY clear vision on exactly how valuable money is and moreover ISN'T!! Many times money is the perfect tool for the job, much like the right sized screwdriver or wrench. But like other tools, money is NOT VERY TASTY OR NUTRITIOUS!!


DUH!!

But you can buy very tasty and nutritious things with money. Try that
with a screwdriver.

Many tools are not interchangeable!

Still money is just as tool. Not worthy of love!

Hey, it COULD HAPPEN!!


But you still shouldn't do a thing until you own it. Now if you're living in
there and some smallish thing needs fixed such as a broken toilet handle,
then it would be no big deal. But otherwise, you're a fool if you are
spending a lot of money on something you don't own.

Unless John has some friends and/or family nearby to do an
"intervention," he's going to end up broke in no time. Sad. He needs a
financial caretaker, imo. One he can trust too.

No one in their right mind ever, EVER spends money on a house until
after closing. That chinese landlord is going to clean him out..

That is what happened to my bipolar cousin. We tried to talk her into
letting us use her inheritance to set up a trust fund so that she could
stay on her disability pension. Nope. She wanted to get off welfare and
take care of herself. She blew the money on a cottage with a wood
burning furnace near North Bay. She lost it. Now she is back to living
in a crappy apartment and it took a long time to get her welfare reinstated.

If I had a dollar for everyone who thought they were going to

ROFL!! You thought I was serious? ROFL!! No, but it COULD happen!! I remastered a bunch of the Cheep Effects songs as we did little to nothing in terms of post production work on them! Basically just hooked up all the equipment, played them, then listened to them while smoking another joint! But yey, we had some very talented people in "my band"! Real musicians and everything!! Not me, I just hooked up the equipment, etc.

I AM going to retire in comfort, Of course my threshold for comfort is MUCH MORE ATTAINABLE than YOUR'S who seems terrified of never having ENOUGH MONEY!! :-(

Not terrified, although I do worry about outliving my money.
I don't want to finish my life in too-infrequently-changed diaper
in a Medicaid-funded nursing home.

My net worth might be higher than yours, anyway, but I was
taught it's ill-bred to talk about money in that way.

I'm betting on John being penniless, evicted, and living in a carton
under a bridge before ever owning that house or any other.... he has
no knowledge who that cheap chinaman is or anything about him, he
likely doesn't own that house, probably belongs to some tea picking
Chinese coolie whose signature in the US ain't worth a grain of rice.

I am NOT ending up in a nursing home! I have worked as a nurse in several, and there is NO WAY I'm ending up dying in one!!

Ill-bred? You were BRED??!! OMG!!! How pitiful is that?

Money is just a tool. No biggie. IF you have enough! And believe me, I HAVE ENOUGH!! And NO I'm not gonna say a number because that would just breed a ****ING CONTEST!

Of course we did. This is no kookier than most of the other things

Your current posting strongly suggests you're in an uncontrolled
manic phase of the disorder.

http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Bipolar.../Symptoms.aspx

The manic phase of bipolar disorder may include:

feeling very happy, elated or overjoyed
talking very quickly
feeling full of energy
feeling self-important
feeling full of great new ideas and having important plans
being easily distracted
being easily irritated or agitated
being delusional, having hallucinations and disturbed or illogical
thinking
not feeling like sleeping
not eating
doing things that often have disastrous consequences ? such as

John is delusional if he thinks he's already their landlord. He's not;
they aren't John's tenants. What part of [he] doesn't own the house is
so hard for John to grasp?

He sure could. You can bet he's keeping an eye on everything that's
going on in that house. In fact, as the legal landlord, he has every
right to enter and look around the property. He could take one look at
these improvements and decide he doesn't want to sell. Until closing,
he can back out at any time.

He'll collect it from John, and won't he be surprised!

He can also evict John. Wait until John fixes up the place some more
and gets his Certificate of Occupancy. Landlord doesn't even need a
reason or the 30-day notice. Falsely collecting and depositing rent -
a criminal complaint rather than civil - is grounds for in immediate
eviction.

He absolutely could. Certificate of Occupancy aside (we all know it's
not up to code) unless John turns that rent money over to the still
LEGAL owner by the due date, it's theft. He could also be charged with
fraud. Either way, go directly to jail, do not pass GO.

John's machinations are so convoluted we've no idea what's the truth,
but I'd say most of his dialog is big fat lies... no sane person
repairs the seller's property in advance of closing. I for one don't
believe a word John says. I don't beleive he inherited a dime... I
were the douchbag's father I'd kick his useless worthless ass to the
curb. John inherited nothing... his fairytail is just that a fairy
tale.

My friend's daughter is bipolar. At the time she was diagnosed, she had a
good job working for a lawyer. She lost that job. She has had a few jobs
since but she really isn't capable of doing much. Right now she is serving
lunch to special needs adults. But... She spends every dime she has on a
work wardrobe, thinking she'll get a good job again. It's sad because she
never will. Then she deems the clothes out of style and tries to sell them
in a yard sale.

I have to wonder about local codes for rooming houses. It could be a
rude surprise to discover that he might have to spend thousands more on
upgrades.
