Open Question: Investment property on the coast. Buy or wait?
We have been looking for a property on the coast that we can buy now and rent as an investment then use later to semi retire to. We wanted to secure one that has what we need in regards to the water and lake and bush. We found a property that ticks many boxes however the rental return will never be a good as buying a unit in our city for around the same price. We are afraid though that in 10 years or so the kind of property we want will not be available and affordable and that we will not be able to actually borrow again for it as our wages will be less etc. We are in a deep discussion about our future lifestyle versus servicing a loan a little easier now with the rental – not to say that over the years as we improve the coastal property, a house, we can charge more rent. We also think that as an aging society and people wanting to retire to the coast these coastal properties will become harder to actually find. Any tips?
Voting Question: Blocking a established drain . . . can you do it?
This is a good one, and one that not many people can answer. There’s not even a mention to this question in my state’s property legislation.
My neighborhood has a little problem that occurs maybe 4 to 5 times a year. The area, especially that of myself and my neighbors on each side, slightly slopes down from the road. Today we received 3 to 4 inches of rain in a 12 hour period. My neighbors and I get the rain run off from our neighbors across the street (if the ground will no longer absorbed the rain) as well as the rain off the street. The rain from the street is a result of the street drains inability to take in so much rain at one time. When this happens my backyard forms a few puddles. The neighbor behind me is the real loser here. Their yard becomes a small lake.
Let’s start where this whole problem began. When I purchased my home from the estate of some dear friends (the house never went on the market, we settled on a price and a attorney conducted the close). There was also a piece of land the original owner owned that I had the option to buy. The .25 acre lot falls behind my neighbors home, and everybody around here knows what goes on with the lot when it rains . . . it becomes a lake. For that reason, plus I didn’t won’t to pay city/county taxes on it and because I knew the many restrictions the town and the subdivision placed on the lot. Because I didn’t want it, the lot was tossed into the estate auction. The auctioneer disclosed the restrictions and the bidding began. It was also pointed out that the lot turned into the neighborhood reservoir when it rained There was some interest in the lot by my two neighbors who’s property also adjoined the small lot, but when the price went above $1,000 they stopped. Some woman that lives an hour away was bound and determined she was going to get that lot (I believe she went bid crazy) and got it for $1,500. Some time later she finally came back down to earth and got a reality check. She wanted to store firewood on the lot, couldn’t do that. She was going to place a mobile home on the lot, couldn’t do that. When she ran out of options, she mailed letters to the neighborhood offering to sell the lot for $3,000. She didn’t get any takers and a “For Sale” sign sat on the property of six months with no buyer. We can only guess her next action was done in some sort of retaliation. Between my property and my next door neighbor runs a ditch. No one dug this ditch. It was formed over the years by rain water. The ditch is actually the property line. In August, she dumped a load of mulch onto the ditch to prevent water from continuing down the ditch to her lot. She blocked the waters right of way that had been in place for over 40 years. First can she do that? Second, if the ditch is the property line how do you half it? After noticing the large amount of mulch building up in my backyard, I went, in the pouring rain, with my shovel and opened up the ditch, so the water could flow as always.
Has anyone else had to deal with this? If need be I’ll address my councilman and put it to a vote.
Thank you for reading this lengthy post, but I want to arm myself with as much knowledge as possible.
Voting Question: Does my story sound okay? Is there anything that I should change or fix?
Alright, so my story is about these 5 girls who are best friends. Faye, kinda like the leader. She’s the creative one and is the most adventurous and confident. Ivy, also creative but shy. Vivian, the quiet one who likes to watch, not do. Jackie, the one who is fun and the total good girl. And the last one is Dana, the extremely hyper and crazy one, also the bad girl. Anyways, Faye, Ivy, Vivian, Jackie, and Dana all go the northern Michigan and go for a little vacation together at Dana’s cottage Up North. But when they stay up late at night, something keeps whispering to them and telling them to go outside to the dock by the lake. They go out together and the moon turns red, while something whispers to them to swim in the moonlight. So they swim in the lake, in the reflection of the blood moon.
Then, 4 years later, the girls are 15. Here’s a part from the story (P.S I wasn’t sure about what to name them at the time, so Christina is Faye, Kenzie is Jackie, Piper is Vivian, Allie is Ivy, and Claire is Dana):
During the middle of the night, she woke up with a start, sweating bullets. Her body felt sore. Her legs felt stiff as she stepped out of bed. It must be three o’clock in the morning! She thought. She needed to get away, fast. She didn’t know what force was driving her, but something was driving her to the window. She opened it much easier than the day before when she needed fresh air. She shivered as the cold night air kissed her skin gently.
She peered into the calm darkness. Her only light was a couple street lights that rimmed the street a couple houses down and the stars that shone brightly up above her.
Her backyard was a deep forest, with a river at the bottom of the hill that ended her property.
She started to climb down her window. What the hell am I DOING?! She screamed inside her head, but part of her told her that she must go on.
She thought of her friends. What would they be thinking if she told them she was climbing out a window? No matter, that part of her said.
Ugh! It was taking far too much time to get down this way. She crouched in a ball and sprung off the side of her house, landing on her feet on the lawn in her backyard.
She fought her need to scream. Did…did I just jump off the side of my house?! She had always known that she was agile, strong, and very athletic, but that didn’t start until she turned eleven. She realized that she was lying down, and the grass tickled her arms, reminding her she must go on to this unknown destination.
Christina didn’t feel as cold as she thought she would. But she shivered anyways. Whatever was happening to her now was starting to seriously scare her. But she knew that the pull that was making her do unusual things was part of her. That didn’t make her go crazy.
She thought of her friends again as she stepped over the root of a tree. Weird stuff never happens to them, she thought. But she was wrong. What was happening to her was happening to them. Suddenly her moon-dream flashed through her head, overwhelming her and making her crash to the ground. She felt a fire surge through her as she rolled into her deep forest.
Chapter 2
Allie was having a tough time. She thought she was mad, a total freak of nature. I just escaped from my house, through the window. That’s not normal! She thought to herself.
She was still in her pajamas, with her blue T-shirt and blue pajama pants. Her blue fluffy slippers were comforting.
That stupid pull was so annoying! “Alright, alright!” she whispered into the darkness. “I’m coming! If you would just tell me where we were going, that might help a little!” she told the pull. But nothing answered. Just her quiet footsteps on the asphalt. Her brown, long, wavy hair kept blowing in her face.
She turned the corner onto the sidewalk, into the glow of the street lamps. She didn’t know how long she was walking when she saw someone she knew crossing the street to her. She looked harder. “Piper!” she exclaimed, and ran to Piper from across the street. “Allie!” cried Piper. “What on earth are you doing here at three o’clock in the morning?” asked Allie as they were walking across to the sidewalk.
“I should ask you the same question!” said Piper.
“I’m not sure. It’s really kind of scaring me. I woke up all sore, and climbed out my window!”
“That’s just what I did!”
“T…that’s so…so…weird!”
“Do you feel…a…um.. pull?”
“YES! That’s…just not normal.”
“But…why is it…us? What’s the…uh…force?”
“I have no clue, but it’s really odd.”
“I know.”
“I’m so scared, Piper.”
“Me too.”
Allie hugged her best friend Piper and they kept walking, side by side, through the cool night air.
“Do you see something up ahead?” asked Piper, pointing to two lumps ahead. “Yeah…they’re people!”
Continued story is in the other question, Does my story sound okay? Is there anything I should change or fix? (continued)
