I guess it depends on when you buy and when you sell. When was the last time real estate didn't appreciate over a ten year window? I could spend $20K per year to stay on Lake Chelan for a couple of months per summer or I could have bought a house on the lake in 2009 for $400K that I could sell today for $800K. After interest, taxes, insurance, and real estate fees, this theoretical vacation home would add[/i] to my wealth by about the exact same dollar amount those yearly rentals for a dozen years would have subtracted from it (roughly $250K).
A coworker of mine takes his family to Maui every year. About five or six years ago, he did the math and realized he was pissing a lot of money away. He bought a condo on the beach, rents it out through VRBO when he's not there, and spends about four weeks per year using it himself. He could sell it today and pocket six figures easy after subtracting all expenses.
Look for the tall guy wandering around with a wine glass.

Yeah, wtf? We? don't keep secrets among Club members.
If there was ever a tim to advertise the merits of the wam.
We've neared the finish line finally and only have a few electrical things (outlet covers and some lights under the cabinets) to complete.
I don't think it would have been possible for you guys to get a full kitchen done in C. Oregon for 30K these days. The labor market is just way too tight here. We landed at closer to 75K on the kitchen part but that includes moving some walls and pretty high end appliances, cabinets and finishings.
@BennyBeaver I got the @PurpleBaze towel head dishwasher. Bosch is still on like a 6 month backorder.
Moving walls involves engineering, architecture, permits, and time.
75K isn't unusual for the wife approved appliance and wall package

“Wife approved” is the key here.
New floors - provenza engineered wood product - for about 60 percent of the home ran $22 k installed. Pretty nice stuff.
Hiring a GC was the only way to go. It would have been impossible for me to get this done and get all the subs lined up on my own. In market where the trade guysm have no shortage of work the GC's relationships with subs is critical. We paid our GC on time and he pays the subs on time, which goes a long way towards getting to the front of the line.
