Bill, I've done some rough maths and if we have to throw in repairs like roofs and wiring etc it's going to end up costing us the same or more as some of the other properties I'm watching, minus the labour. Though it would be an awesome project, I'm thinking of practical matters now and cash outlay, which is a grey area and I don't like grey areas when it comes to large sums of money!
There is another property about 25 miles from that one that I've been watching for some time now that is a true bargain, whichever way you look at it. It has more land (3.5 acres) too and it's in a really stunning area that I know from when we stayed there. I also have an agent in Co Cork that is looking for a suitable property for me and I have yet to see what she's got in mind. So I'm definitely keeping my options open.
