....and now I may spend more money

...that I don't have.
The open lot next door, which actually used to be part of this property, and a partial wetlands, is owned by the Catholic Church in back of me (sold to them in the early 90's). The concern by me and the neighbors was that this was going to be an access into this neighborhood and I would end up with traffic on our street and next to my house.
Yesterday as I was running an errand, I saw the pastor and another fellow walking the property. I jokingly asked "When are you going to sell me this property"? He said, "Make me an offer".
Talk about Holy Crap!
I blurted out something about market value and said I will get back with him. The market value according to the tax roll is 11k. Being a slope and a FEMA flood zone with actual standing water, as well as a standing wild pig, I think it would be a tough sell, but not for me. Its actually a beautiful view on that side.
Now, I do have another property up for sale, which at one time we were going to retire on, until we got this old house. That one, a beautiful acreage is also a tough sell, because it is somewhat rural and high inventory in that area. Getting this next door property is going to be my next major go for....if the other one sells. So I have to massage this pastor's back and ask him for Godly patience.
...which means I am going to be spending a lot of time in church, praying......
