 because well because the second house is a wreck you can't move into it right now okay that was my next so is someone living in it now and renting no nobody's living in it so it's just you own it free and clear and it's just sitting there decaying that's right uh-huh then what would happen i'm going to throw out a third idea what would happen if you sold both of these houses and moved in and pocketed some of the cash and then moved into a house that was already ready and had everything you needed and wanted
