Would you give up this home?


Recommended Posts

I've seen that house on a TV special. It is interesting, but I could give it up. As with any house, it requires upkeep, yard work, lots of space which means more stuff. I'm liking the minimal, free lifestyle.

It's all fine and dandy until someone's marshmallow catches fire!

Well, as we used to say, "Different strokes for different folks...." I'm with the majority here: I'd never have it in the first place! It would be significantly harder to clean and maintain. But worst of all, it would be attracting all kinds of gawkers and that would really mess with my need to be quiet and alone.

I would have never owned a home like this in the first place. However, if I did own it I would sell it and invest the funds somewhere else.

IF I owned it , I'd have to have a zoning variance to allow for commercial use . Advertise it and charge admission for tours and possible vacation rental or some such .

 

There's likely a few folks that have way too much money that would love to 'show off' that place , if even for a weekend . Heck they might even buy it , at a somewhat elevated cost , as a play house for the kids . :D

That would be a good interior for a starship. Other than that, I don't think I'd like the idea of mowing my carpet and the other indoor gardening required. It's an art work, not a practical abode. I don't know what the property taxes and insurance look like in Mexico, but where I live I could buy a new RV each year for what these two items would cost you for a home like this here - about 3% of its appraised (inflated) value where I live, so I'm guessing about $15 - $20,000/yr in taxes in insurance.
