My Real Estate Story

We all have a real estate story — the house you bought for a song or that great rent-controlled apartment with the river view. Or the fixer-upper that milked you dry, the roof that leaked, or the sink hole in the backyard, the noisy upstairs neighbor you took to court and the landlord or the tenant from Hell. Or that lucky day you found your dream house! Think back about  My Real Estate Story and share forward!
