i had a very interesting encounter with a real estate agent in my building who wanted to take a look at my apartment. i granted him the opportunity and he offered 100k for it. this is around 20k less than what is the estimated worth, but it is quite substantial. what shall kriheli do? take the loot, get out of debt and go to grad school? or hang on to the place for a couple more years where the value might double (i got it for close to 42k over 4 years ago). decisions, decisions. interesting how this opportunity falls into my lap as i was mulling this idea over in the recent past.
