Land Sale

Well, we are thinking of selling the rest of our property in Michigan. Any family member want to make us an offer? We have 17.05 acres left, valued currently at $29200.00. Remember -- no electricity or well on our property. It does have a cabin (with a self composting toilet!) and a shed. Ric can tell you more about things if you are interested.

When we were back for our family reunions in July, we headed over to the cabin to check things out. Nothing got damaged -- some tree limbs all over the place and one stuck up bracing the door of the shed. We forgot to bring our "Michigan keys", so we couldn't get into the cabin to peek around inside. We talked about not getting back that often and not having the time to make the improvements we would like to there. We both decided it didn't make sense to hold onto it. If we win the lottery and could fix it up and rent it out most of the time, that would be another story. (Hmmmm...I guess you have to BUY a lotto ticket for a chance to win)

The good news is the people that bought the house and 100 acres at the real estate auction want it. But, if any family member wants to make an offer --- let us know asap. I would rather see it go to family. Pass the word. The guy offered 24K, I countered with 27K.....we will see what they have to say Monday or Tuesday.

I probably will be making a trip home to finish emptying out the shed and cabin after I call in several favors. Guys -- be ready for my call!
