i said the house is assessed and valued at 80K, didn't say i paid 80K ya goon. maybe when u buy a house outright for cash you can talk to me about financial advisors.
I don't see how that changes the situation; if it's valued at 80k and you can get somewhere in the that vicinity then surely you're on a better wicket with a collection and the change from the sale rather than just a collection. The fact that you paid less than the appraised value just means you're getting a better deal (I'm assuming you paid less or you wouldn't have mentioned it). I'm not having a dig at you personally, I just think you could play your cards better. Maybe you're right because I've never bought a house outright. Hell, I still rent. That being said the median house price where I am in inner Melbourne is a seven figure number so unless I win the lottery or move to the country that's not happening anytime soon.
