Congrats spudway. That really looks like you found a diamond in the rough. I love stories like these – hopefully it's true. Can I just offer a quick word of advice – you have what seems to be a great property with lots of potential and you are obviously doing a lot of right things to maximise the potential. If I were you, I would be looking forward to the future and  educating myself to create a financially independent future. There are many ways to do so just make sure you do it right and are fully aware of all risks. Good luck and I wish you and your family the best of new years
