    I would love to do this, as I can do all the work myself, but even decrepid farm houses are selling for $2+ million because they are usually on a large lot and developers can knock it down for apartments and townhomes/duplexes and fourplexes.

      exactly. Houses in big cities are not expensive because they are better than houses in the bush. The house isnt worth shit, in fact burning it down might make the property more valuable. The land is what has value.

      She’s in Cape Breton, so she has the advantage of being kinda far from deep pocketed developers. That and parents who will gift her property.
