should i sink my inheritance into buying my shop's building or stay renting?
ok so backstory... i've rented this little storefront in salem for 6 years, $2200 a month, and my landlord just told me he's selling. asking price is $310k for the building (i'd live above it like i do now, plus the two units next to me). my grandmother left me $85k when she passed last spring and it's just sitting there. it's enough for a down payment if i took out a mortgage, but it would eat basically all of it and i'd be locked into salem forever, tied to tourist season money that's feast in october and famine in february... if i don't buy it some investor will, and they've already said they want to "modernize" the block, which is landlord-speak for doubling my rent or kicking me out entirely. if i buy it i own something real for the first time in my life but i'm gambling almost everything my grandmother left me on a 200 year old building with a leaky roof, in a town that only really loves witches for six weeks a year 馃寵 i keep pulling cards on it and getting no clear answer which honestly never happens to me lol. so now i'm asking humans instead of the universe.
