"Right now everything sells"

Except what I have on the market. I can't get a thing sold in the Charlotte area.

Not a very nice 1400 sq ft. brick rental house listed for 109k.

Not one of 5 other rental houses priced from 50k to 90k. I actually would rather these be moved. Want the land.

Not the 10 residential lots left from a subdiv.

Not the 300 mountain acres right next to and above where the clowns are paying $800k for 10 acres designed by Bob Timberlake.

Not the ten 10 acre "gentlemens horse farm" parcels 1 mile from where a certain Nascar driver is marketing the exact same at 3X my fair price.

And we won't even talk about the subdivision that is hungup by the county morons.

Please send me these buyers running these scams with all that cash and access to credit.

A guy I used to work for, a crazy dutchman, used to do this outside Austin, Tx. He'd buy two hail-damaged mobile homes, set them parallel, truss over the tops, add a roof and connect the ends. He'd leave a patio courtyard in the middle, remove one kitchen and rock the outside with local white limestone. Add some remodeling, and he'd sell the resulting "house".
