Just thought I'd share this with you all: yesterday I finally closed the deal on the sale of some 72,000sq.ft of surplus land we had. When we bought our lot it came with roughly 3 acres of land, for which we had no real purpose (and there was an abandoned factory on it). A slight problem was that whilst buying the property without a mortgage (hey, being a doctor with a private practice in France just isn't the same as it is in the US), I had to invest a lot more than I'd originally planned, which seriously cut into my renovation budget. But now, after two years, I've signed the deal and in about three months, when the paperwork is done, we can finally go and do the "big stuff" (like replacing all the windows in our building). Oh, and fortunately, during the two years the property was for sale, land prices went up by about 60 percent, too
Picture: our building as it was in 2003, just before we bought it. Gosh, it already needed a paint job then...
