“I said that the old hot water tank was fine, and he made the decision to replace it,” he recalled.
Afterward, a massive argument ensued. And since he really did not want to fight, he just said his brother was no longer allowed to make any additional changes to the house without his explicit consent.
While he thought that was a fair request, though, his brother apparently didn’t– because his brother just decided to stop doing maintenance on the house out of protest.
“And the house itself is not pretty, but it is solid. It is old, and the wiring in it was not meant for all the modern electronics we have,” he explained.
So, eventually, his brother wanted to add a new breaker box and run some more outlets. He turned down that idea, though, and claimed he couldn’t afford those upgrades after not making any profit on the house.
Still, his brother did not understand that. Then, his brother started paying the rent late– seemingly out of protest again.
At that point, he tried to confront his brother about the rent. But his brother just claimed that since he needed to buy stuff for the house, he was low on cash.
And after dealing with this headache for too long, he ultimately just decided to sell the house.
He revealed how while the actual house is not great, it is located in an older part of his city with a quarter of an acre of property.
So, every time a house sells in that neighborhood, it is snatched up by developers and converted into multifamily units.
