2 months later,the house is up for sale. The european real estate agent who bought the house has done nothing to it what so ever,and will likely make 20-30k profit on it.(possibly more.)So it isnt just a yellow peril,its a greed and profit making peril.(which it has been from the start.)
Pretty good how there's a law coming in on October 1 that will tax that profit eh.
