Sounds good! Sweat equity is definitely the key.

In the early eighties we managed to get a 15 year mortgage. While things were tight for a while the timeline kept the spirits a little higher! A 50 year mortgage as T is proposing is madness. With the interest, upkeep and taxes I don’t see that being feasible. Better to live on a boat or a commune with friends. 🤣😂
