So I’ve made a few posts now on this but to dumb it down, while at a conference my boyfriend met a man who got rich buying, redoing and renting out homes. Now he wants to do that.

At first I was very against it, I work full time and don’t want to spend all my free time working on a house, I grew up doing that, not fun.

I came around as he promised it would be a “do it with one house then find forever home”

We go back and forth talking about it, I want to start with an okay home that needs a facelift, new floors, redo a bathroom and/or basement, easy things to up the value and get a bang for your buck. The budget to buy is $120,000, what I’ve found that houses that look good around 110 to 115.

We were looking and I found a 34,000 one and showed him, kinda like “oh man, we definitely don’t want that” and he wants THAT! (Included pics, 3 bed, 1 bath)

I reminded him that we would be living there while renovating, and it looks like a money pit, black mold, and not feasible for us, and again, I do not have the time, or want.

He said I wouldn’t have to worry cause he would handle everything,

This house would be bought with his money, so I don’t feel comfortable putting my foot down, plus if it works, good income, but I fear he may not know what her bargaining for.

He also plans to have it all done in 4 years. We plan to buy around June so obviously this specific one may no longer be here, but it is an example. He used to be in construction but I’ve actually renovated my home while living there and it is so stressful and a nightmare.

I’ve also explained I would never feel at home knowing that we were going to get rude of it soon but he kinda just waived me off.

Part of me feels like I’m over reacting and I should just go along, as it’ll be all his money, his baby, but I don’t wanna live in chaos for four years while we also get married, have a baby, etc (not engaged or pregnant, but you know what I mean)

**note, we both work, however, he makes twice I do and also seeks antique fishing lures, so he is the breadwinner of us. Hence why he is buying the house, I would be paying for groceries, bills, etc.
