I inherited the home three years ago when my father in law died.
I bought the other two homes with my hubby long ago
Fair enough and sorry about the death in the family.
But it does not sound like you did this on your own, it sounds like someone gave you a shit ton of capital. While that is lucky for you, you sound a bit spoiled as homes in cali cost 300,000 on the low end and that is an 50-80 year old home.
In the end I think our point is of course you like Cali, you never seemed to have to work your way up, you were handed from the sounds of it a good lot in life, yet you ***** relentlessly about people getting just that.
You do realize you "own" 3 homes and many people don't even have a house yes?
Now I'm not looking for bad here, I'm going off what you have told me here and what I know of you from your posts and threads on these boards.
