So for those of you who don't know I recently (nearly two years ago) purchased a 4300 sq ft, 6 bedroom mansion on approximately 2 acres of land in a upscale neighborhood about an hour north of Tampa.
I paid a modest 435,000.00 for this slice of paradise and since then I've made the following adjustments
1. Added a 24X24 wood deck with a cedar gazebo and 8 person whirlpool spa.
2. Added an automatic waterfall to my 30 by 12 in-ground swimming pool.
3. Transformed some unused space in one of my 3 living rooms into an office (so technically now it's 7 bedrooms)
4. added a beautiful fire pit seating area adjacent to the deck
Total costs for my investments 35,000.00 give or take
I recently appraised the place and given the current market here in Florida and the sudden influx of decent people leaving shitholes like NY And Cali it came back at a whopping 725,000.00
wow. I feel blessed.
But should I sell or stick around is the question? I Had originally planned on growing old here but damn 155K profit for less than two years of investment sure looks tempting.
