Today, I got a spam text addressed to my ex. One of those “WE BUY REAL ESTATE FAST!” types with an address I don’t recognize.

Ugh, how is my phone number even connected with their house?!

    The last time one of these folks wanted to buy my house, They were calling me, my wife, and my brother (which was particularly strange since he doesn’t live near me and has nothing to do with my house).

    I finally responded so they’d leave my brother alone. I told them I wouldn’t entertain any offer less than $1 million.

    My house is not worth $1 million. Maybe if it was in absolutely perfect shape. It’s a Victorian house. It used to be the pastor’s rectory for a church across the street. When the church wanted to tear it down to build an addition, they moved it instead.

    However, it probably needs around $200k-$300k of work to get it to perfect shape.

    They can pry my ~3% fixed rate mortgage out of my cold, dead hands. I’m not selling it unless I get enough to buy the next place without a mortgage.
