My landlady is really insane. She is also a non practicing attorney. She is very litigious and has won several suits against the city of New York regarding her landlord property rights.
She won't put a dime into the place regardless of whether she is selling it or not she is just a super cheap person.
At her other place near by they had a raccoon that kept breaking into the crawl space. She built a trap and caught the raccoon and released it 6 miles away. The raccoon came back and she again trapped it - this time she brought the raccoon to Staten Island. She hasn't seen it since but she keeps a blown up picture of the guy on her refridgerator.
My shack/house is worth at least a million dollars and she has another property in the neighborhood plus her place in dc that has tenants. She is also a published author on woman's rights issues. She is not hurting for money but I think the über frugalness is part of her asperbergs.
It's also weird that she is gifting all these properties to her Alma mata versus keeping the money but again she is odd.
She is not scamming me regarding selling to me in two years. She is crazy but very blunt and not a liar. She has other issues.
As long as she is not dead I am confident she will help me buy the place from Berkley.
I will email her about the repairs and she will do a shoddy repair job as usual. I guess my question was is it worth it for me to spend some of my own money on the repairs knowing that I will be buying the place or will that increase the appraised value of this shack too much.
