Wanted to update everyone as the sale of my Airbnb had just closed. In typical fashion, it was ridiculous right up until the end.
So all in all, the universe conspired to say "Now is the time to GTFO, Laura." And I listened. When its time, its time.
Stay tuned for the next adventure! I honestly need a break from ABB for a while but I may do STR on some other platforms. Undecided. But I have earned some rest.
I am very sad to lose my little schoolhouse but very pleased to not have to deal with any of it any more.
@Laura 2592 In Australia unless a home is bought 'with chattells' then no personal movable stuff is bought by the new owners only fixtures and fitments . Certainly nothing in a cupboard . How intensley creepy all the best H

I have never had anyone bitch that they got extra stuff with a sale. As someone who buys exclusively old houses, I always look forward to the discoveries after closing. I have found some really good stuff.
@Laura2592 we call it "finding gold bars under the floorboards". Our lovely old farmhouse came with a cellar full of very old white wine. someone had taken all the reds, assuming whites were worthless, but chablis, chardonnay, reisling.... they also age very nicely over 20years! We had a blast opening them all in the first 6 months.
@Gillian166 man I would love to find some old wine! So far all we found in the new place is a basket and some mice droppings behind the fridge lol.
@Laura2592 we looked at another old farmhouse just last week, it also has a cellar full of old wines! that made it very tempting, haha, but actually it's just too much work (I mean: money) to fix that old house. The joys of living in a wine region I guess.
@Laura2592 I remember a couple on a post after buying a house asked the outgoing owners to come and get 'the food in the yard'. they meant the vegie plot .People are odd thats for sure H
Sheesh. Enjoy being rid of Airbnb, @Laura2592. It’s rather a good state to be in.
@Colleen253thanks! Looking back, I think this property may have been bad luck for me lol. I love it with all my heart but some of the experiences are just beyond, even with the current owners. I am hoping for better vibes in the next place!
@Laura2592 so, it's finally over ha? 🙂 If someone needs a break that's you, for sure. That cottage must have been hunted bc how else to explain such a concentration of weirdoes in one place.
Next time, before purchasing the place bring a psychic with you, and hang some garlic just in case 😄
The place we are purchasing next is a little farmhouse that was totally rehabbed for an elderly parent. I actually did a tarot reading on it and will sage before we start doing any work. I am not even kidding.
haha @Laura2592 I am not kidding either 😄 😄 Sage, yes, burn a pile of it, it can't do any harm 😄
Farmhouse, great, if AI loves you, you may even get a category 😄
@Branka-and-Silvia0 seriously. This whole new search came up as we were finishing our contingency period and I thought "well, at least there is a category....not that the AI would even figure that out..."
We have talked about doing a tiny house on the property as well if we go for STR. Its a big property. But I think that will blow up the bot if they have to figure that out.
Some pics....
That is the farmhouse, the view and some of the woods on the property. Not sure if this is category worthy....its not a castle nor a yurt.
@Laura2592 Beautiful!! Hopefully it’s a great swap and a new chapter for y’all.
I wonder if it might have some weird spiritual energy attached to it. I am being serious!
@Kristina46 I never felt anything like that and I am someone who tends to be kind of "sensitive" to environments with weird energy. I love old houses and have probably toured hundreds in my adulthood. There are definitely times when I am "nope! Not happening" on a property that looks great otherwise.
But you can't argue with the strange things that happened in our space when we hosted. Its such a pretty property inside and out. I kind of think it just vibed with certain people and definitely did not with others.
