Oh my! Now I'm doubly glad they sold their home on Estero Island! What's funny is that the lot was only $6,000 when they bought it, they designed the house themselves, hired an architect to finalize the blueprints, and had it constructed for just under $140,000...
Just over twelve years later, they sold the house for $2.6 million! Wow, talk about appreciated value over time.
I told my parents to please do NOT leave either my brother or I the property in their Wills as neither of us could have afforded the taxes...
