... 2200 Sq ft total.... 0.7 acres
$210k asking price... Again, about right

.. Then the weirdness comes

They refuse to turn over the oil and mineral rights
They refuse to fill out any of the disclosure forms
... They won't say how old the roof or HVAC is
They say it had a strong rental history... But won't tell us how much the rent is, how long tenant's have been there, or how many months in past 5 years it's been vacant... Just that the units are occupied right now and month to month lease

... Also, they said they will "entertain" offers, sight unseen

Thinking of making a cut throat offer just to waste their time

Essentially, estimate what I think the rent should be.. Take off another 10%...then multiply by 100

Having money means I could bulldoze the building, rebuild, and update it. The problem is that I don't want to wait 20 years to turn a profit

This a good investment if you renovate imo. If the area is up and coming your place could double quickly.

There's a saying: Women become mothers at conception, men become fathers at birth. Watching my wife deal with this grief...it is absolutely true. She is genuinely sad and distraught. I don't feel the same type of sadness...I feel disappointment. The funny part about marriage is that I have to hold my tongue because my understanding and "processing" of the situation would not benefit her or make her feel any better. She is still holding out that the doctors have made a mistake and that everything will actually be fine. I'm trying to manage her expectations because I told her modern medicine is AMAZING. I KNOW the baby was conceived on Aug 16...making it 6wks. The report from her checkup came back with an estimate of 6wks, 1 day. 6wks is more than enough time to have a heartbeat. So if they can pinpoint this grain of rice in her body...they probably didn't "miss" the heartbeat. What I don't like is that the Dr told her that he doesn't know what happened because everything is healthy. There is a 30+% chance of a miscarriage in the first 3 months [that's why they usually tell you to wait before you tell friends/family because that stat PLUMMETS after the first trimester]. Because the Dr said that...she keeps asking "what could I have done differently?"

There were 2 times that I got emotional about it. We told my daughter that she would have a little brother/sister a few weeks ago. She was very excited about the news. Picking her up from daycare yesterday...I had a wave of guilt flush over me for <10 seconds. She's 2, so obviously not gonna tell her now. The other thing...when my wife got home. Our daughter was like "Don't cry mama, it'll be OK" then gave my wife a hug and a kiss. My daughter is just so sweet. I got teary eyed.

I think I've completed the grieving process. My wife won't complete it until a week or so. They gave her a paperwork packet about if she has a miscarriage...or if she has complications and has to go to the hospital -- hand them the packet. In a week, she has another ultrasound to confirm...and at that time, they'll force the miscarriage (they will pluck the fetus from the uterus).

Like I said, I'm disappointed. Being through the process once already -- I had plans for if it was a boy...and plans for if we had another girl. I already had a plan for how it would affect our finances...and plans for when we needed to start preparing for more changes to our world. I know this is harder on my wife than me. I just have to be her rock solid foundation and shoulder to cry and grieve on/with.

...thank you all again for letting me get this out
