I had bought this place just north of Townsville for $75,000 when I came back to Australia in 1985. Couldn't find work and left town again before I had even received my first electricity bill.
Then, after a series of unpleasant experiences with tenants, I sold the place in the late 80s for a bit over $90,000. It must've been jinxed because it sold again in 1992 for $122,000, in 2000 for $126,500, in 2006 for $285,000, and finally in 2015 for $420,000 (it had been advertised for $459,000) They did some nice renovating which cost a bit, but still.
I guess we all have stories like that to tell. If I hadn't bought the place and been saddled with a mortgage which meant I had to keep working to pay it off, I might've been tempted to drop out completely on the cash I had in my pocket and could now be walking barefoot around Bali with dreadlocks in my hair ☺
Difficult to say which is worse: barefoot in Bali with dreadlocks in my hair or barefoot at "Riverbend" and losing my hair? ☺
*) Never trust a real estate agent who doesn't know his apostrophes (or should that simply be: 'never trust a real estate agent' ?)
