“Well, maybe if you just–”

“Dad! Just–…” you swallowed the rest of the heated statement that nearly escaped your lips, mentally counting to three before glaring back at the man who was breathing down your neck, “do you remember when I was 12 and you had the clever idea of attempting to install that new sink in room 5?”

Already knowing where this story was gonna go, Harvey quietly replied, “…yeah…”

“And just who, pray tell, fixed it after you made the pipes uncontrollably spurt out water, consequently flooding the entire room?”

“…you did…”

“That’s right,” you sucked on another tense breath before continuing, “so, unless you’ve somehow improved that skill since then, which, I’m sorry dad, but I highly doubt that you have, please, just let me handle it alone.”

“…alright, fine,” he ultimately backed off, nearing the basement stairs, “but I’ll be right up by the front desk if you need me.” 

“I won’t,” you called over your shoulder as you redirected your attention to the hopeless pipes, “but thanks.”

Letting the illuminated spot from the small flashlight clutched in your palm guide your vision, you checked each and every rusty tube. 

After too many pokes and prods, you finally found the source of the problem. Stepping over towards the main pipeline you bend down and reached through tickling cobwebs to turn the paint-chipped knob clockwise, shutting all of the water off.

Before your spine managed to straighten back out, you felt your blood begin to boil as you heard the sound of heavy footsteps once again ascending the crooked staircase.

“Dad, please, for the love of god, just–,” you spun around, though the unexpected figure that stepped into the low light caused your fury to fade away in an instant, “oh, uh, you’re not–, uhm, h-hi.”

“Hey,” Pete’s deep voice echoed throughout the dim space, sounding the way that hot chocolate felt. 

“Uh, not that I’m not thrilled to see you here, in my basement of all places, but, um, what are you–, what can I help you with?” 

“Nothing ma'am,” he took a step closer, “it’s what I can help you with.”

“Excuse me?”

“Well, Harvey sent me down here to take a look at something.”

“Oh, did he now…” that was the last you needed in order to lose your patience.  

“Yeah,” Pete’s eyes tracked your form as you riffled through the open metal toolbox and yanked out a wrench. 

“Well,” you huffed as you began to loosen the various hexagon-shaped fittings snug on the pipes spiderwebbing out from the bulky water heater apparatus, the labour of the task presenting itself in your vexed voice, “you can tell my dad that I’m still just fine and don’t need any help!” the tool on your palm then inadvertently slammed against one of the pipes, the clanging and therapeutic blow snapping you enough out of your ire to take a step back. Squeezing your eyes shut a moment, you let out a deep sigh before parting your lips once more to speak, “I’m sorry, it was very kind of you to offer your help, but I’m okay.” 

Fully expecting him to just take off, his stationary stance caught you off guard, “so, the water heater’s acting up?”

“It’s fucking ancient, that’s what it is,” you replied as you returned to twist the remainder of the fittings, “should have updated it long ago, but no, no, that never happened,” you continued to grumble mostly to yourself at this point, “of course it’s much more fun to let me handle it down the line when the hot water outlet is completely rusted over and clogged up to the point of no return, you know, that’s just so much more fun…” your words then faded away as you attempted to turn a knob that in no way wanted to corporate.

Quietly cursing underneath your breath, you tried to put all your weight into it as you strained to turn the stuck fitting. 

But just then, from out of nowhere, you felt the wrench begin to turn, but that victory wasn’t the only thing you suddenly felt. Engulfing your own, the comparatively massive hand of Pete enveloped yours as if it wasn’t even there to begin with, helping you turn it as though the metal was made out of butter. 

Blinking up at him after it finally twisted completely, his intimidating stature seemed even more towering up close. 

“Uh,” you slipped your hand out from under his calloused palm, “thank you…”

“No, problem,” you promptly whirled around to avoid his piercing gaze, busying yourself by riffling through the toolbox without any purpose whatsoever, “so your old man’s not helping you out in renovating this place?”

“Well, he’s brilliant at a lot of things, but those skills in particular have never really been in his bailiwick–, wait…” you kept your back turned to him as you asked, “how do you know that I’m renovating?” 

“People in this town like to talk, a lot,” he breathed out the essence of a laugh, “and that includes your father.”

“Ah, okay…”

Spinning around once again, you kept your eyes steadfast on the dusty pipes, though after what only felt like a second, Pete unexpectedly proposed, “hey, what do you say I lend you a hand?”

“What?” 

“Well,” hands clasped together in front of him, the digits on one of them dug into the palm of the other as he spoke, “I’m no stranger to fixing things, so it might help make it fly by a bit faster than if you try and get through it all on your own.”

Unable to detect if this was just some strange joke or not, you verified, “I’m sorry, but are you legitimately offering me your help in renovating this place right now?”

“Yes.” 

“Seriously?” you bellowed a little louder than you’d intended, earning just a small nod from him in confirmation, “I–…” you blinked back at him, downright dumbfounded, “that’s incredibly generous of you, but I can’t really afford to hire you right now…”

“Oh, I’m not asking you to hire me, just let me help out a bit.”

“Pete, I can’t let you do that, not without any form of compensation.”

“Well, then just pay me in free coffee till it’s done,” he attempted to joke, though it didn’t manage to crack a smile on your lips. 

“This is not funny, Pete.”

“No, it’s not,” he continued, still in a startlingly light-hearted tone, “you clearly don’t know yet just much coffee I tend to drink on average every day,” seeing you not budge an inch, he then dropped the attempt with a gentle nod, “fine, how about we just take a look at a price at a later date? Decide on it later when it’s all done, and you start making a profit again?”

WIP Wednesday

Sooooooooooo. . . . . . . . .

This story has been a love project for a while. While writing it I have learned a lot about how I want to write and what I want to write about. Which is why I think this is taking me so freaking long to write😆 So here is a part from my ColdFlash story after Barry's told how Leonard Snart dies.

**************************************

He remembered, the breath stolen from his lungs and the walls had suddenly felt too close, suffocating him.

There was never an explanation or dramatic farewells for the head Rogues sudden disappearance. It was as if Snart and Rory had vanished into thin air, which left Barry bereft and with so many unanswered questions.

Why did they go? Why did he go?

Although, he knew that Snart didn't owe him any kind of justification for his actions. The worst of it all? Barry hadn't noticed their departure. The Rogues themselves still had given him trouble from time to time and Snart was known for keeping a low profile after a big haul. Even after he thought of this, it didn't mitigate the guilt that grew inside him.

Barry had quickly gone to Gideon. He needed to make sure it was real, that it was true. That he was really gone. Had he really lost someone else?

The AI's somber voice cut through his panic, but the truth hit him again, just as painful. Sna- Leonard's reasons for leaving would forever remain unanswered. Barry wondered if ever Leonard realized that he wasn't as evil as he portrayed himself, that there was good buried beneath the thief facade.

Even if he did, Barry couldn't see Leonard admitting it to himself.

To this day, his memory was fractured after that call. He couldn't remember how he'd made it down into the cold depths of the pipeline with knees to his chest as he leaned against the wall, time stood still, the world around him faded into the background.

It was there that Caitlin found him. Her voice that echoed in the massive tunnel brought him back to reality, however slowly. More footsteps sounded through the curved metal walls.

It wasn't just Caitlin. Cisco, Harry, Wally, Eddie, and Iris had been following right behind her. The sight of his friends brought a new wave of fresh tears that slid down his face like rain even as Barry remained eerily silent. They all sat around him, like a cocoon of familiar warmth that gave him some strength to tell them what happened. After staring at the wall for what felt like eternity, Barry found the strength to speak, his voice hardly above a whisper. He told them what Felicity had said, how Leonard had died a hero, sacrificed himself to save Mick, saved the whole universal timeline from the Time Masters.

Barry was right. Leonard's true nature, one that Barry saw just a sliver of, would never be seen again. He knew his family and friends might struggle to understand the depth of his sorrow, most of which he didn't quite understand himself. But they hadn’t judged or ridiculed him. They just sat with him, a shining beacon of compassion and understanding. In that moment, Barry realized that he may never truly know why Leonard's death affected him so much. The heavy emotional turmoil might be a lingering presence that could haunt him forever.

Once Barry's tears settled, Wally suggested they move to the media room they had finally finished renovating a while ago. Used for movie nights, or when shifts took too damn long, and no one had the energy to make it home. Safely.

Adorned with plush, velvety curtain in deep shades of midnight blue that hugged the windows and blocked out the world. Soft, ambient lighting bathed the room in a gentle glow, with one wall painted white for the projected shows and movies.

As they settled into the room, the giant, dark red wrap-around couch, chosen by Cisco for its quote 'supreme comfort', enveloped them in its plushness. Fluffy pillows and blankets crowded every cushion with extra comfort, and some days, emotional support.

Wally, in his genuine desire to understand Barry's pain, began asking questions. His gentle voice filled the room with curiosity and concern. Barry took a moment, his fingertips brushing against the plush fabric of the cushions, before finally voicing what had been weighing on his mind for far too long.

"I’ve heard a lot of stories about Captain Cold. From you guys and from what I’ve seen on the news. He seemed like our usual run of the mill villain. What made him so special?" Wally looked at the surprised expressions around him. "What? What did I say?"

Barry fixed his stare on the far wall. "The world isn't all black and white. It's a bunch of shades of grey. Some darker or brighter than others. The darker greys are the people who have a better understanding of the world than most others I've seen. They acknowledge the world can be a horrible place but can also recognize its capacity for understanding. Unfortunately, those darker greys also know that the world won't show much compassion for them. Once you stray from the 'right' path one too many times, others don't see much chance at redemption. Regardless of how hard they try to show they've changed; it doesn't matter, so what's the point of changing?" Barry sighed.

Wally looked confused for a moment. "I can see what you mean, but that doesn't mean you give up hope. You keep fighting. Show the people that doubted you that they were wrong."

"To you and me, there is always hope. We know truly evil people have no love in their hearts. They exploit anyone they need too in order to achieve their ends. With no care in the world." Barry's gently smiled. "On the other hand, what they don’t see is someone who genuinely cares for others can't be evil. To me at least. Misled, yeah. Broken, maybe. They are the ones who can be shown they can be more, they aren't alone, and someone believes in them. But that means that you have to look past the walls and armour they put up. Then still believe in them, even at their worst." Barry knew the question was coming as Wally paused to think about what his words.

"Is that what you did with him?" Wally asked softly and Barry almost chuckled. It wasn't something he hid well when it came to Leonard Snart.

"I guess I did. I saw so much more to him than what he showed the world. No one understood that. They just saw the darkness in him, and I won't argue that some of it was justified. But he loved his sister with every fiber of his being. He cared so much for his best friend that he couldn't watch him die. That's not an evil person. No one showed him that he had the potential to be more than what his circumstances made him, so he resorted to the only way he knew how to survive in a world that would have rather seen him dead." He went quiet. There was a quote that his mom used to tell him when he was little that never made sense to him until he became the superhero in the stories she used to read to him.

"A hero isn't about having powers or skills. A hero is someone who can walk through the darkness and still have light in their heart." Watery, green eyes gazed at the ceiling. He didn't have to die to prove it.Exhausted physically and emotionally, Barry gave a slight smile and turned in for the night. Wrapped in the familiar, soft textures, a flicker of warmth spread within him, a comforting balm for his bruised and wounded heart.

******************************************* I'm hoping I finish this at some point this year.

I also have to give a huge thank you to @thatsnotmygunflash every time I've sent them this story to look over (even though it's been a while lol) and has given me idea's on how to keep going with this. Because I have never published anything before, this is giving me massive freaking anxiety. ANYWAY! ENJOY!! Please. 😊

Quick Hits #3 - Wendell & Wild, Triangle, Summertime Rendering

Wendell & Wild

Boy, what a weird movie. Look, it’s gorgeous, the animation was incredible, great character designs, the soundtrack fucking rules.

But there’s just so much going on here that it feels overstuffed. It’s like Wendell & Wild has 3 or 4 different A plots that they tried to shove into one movie, and the result is that none of the individual arcs feel fully cooked to me. There’s movies that handle this well, with certain elements left more subsidiary and subtle worldbuilding filling in the blanks, but that wasn’t that – there’s just straight up not enough screentime for all these different plots to land.

this was too funny. also I really love the flat, stylized faces W&W have in the underworld

Wendell & Wild themselves are charming, but their world is left fairly unclear – is that all of hell, or is it really just a roadside attraction they want to give a fresh coat of paint? Also, why are the humans so excited that the pair gets to renovate their torture chamber at the end? Are we just that supportive of our friend’s goals? Manberg and Helley were fully baffling, and we never seemed to get much of an explanation for how the two met, the origin of Helley’s powers, or why all the faculty seem to see her shadow walking around the school & not care one bit. While the prison folks are sufficiently evil, and we certainly see them killing off competitors or obstacles to their plans, it’s weird that we never see any of their prisons. It's such a missed opportunity for a show don’t tell moment – instead, Siobhan literally explains it to the viewer with a diagram. Similarly, Kat’s struggles in the foster system seem weirdly passed over. The villain’s schemes and the (intended) themes of the movie are meant to be about a corrupt criminal justice system and the school-to-prison pipeline, but all we really get to see is a 10-second flashback giving us the roughest outline of what happened to her. Hell, more time is spent on the city council vote getting rigged than is spent on the actual justice system.

honestly one of the hardest character feats I've ever seen

I dunno, I’m excited to rewatch this one day and maybe gel with it more… on first blush it just came across overwhelming and slapdash structurally.

Triangle

Man, worst first date ever.

This one really came around for me; I was pretty burnt out with the loops on the boat, but as soon as Jess makes it back to the mainland, holy shit… what a flawless final act. The way the conclusion immediately ties together all of the unanswered questions that have been stewing in your mind since the beginning, the immediate perspective shift we get on Jess as a character, the simple confidence of straight up repeating all the shots from the first act, and their totally different meaning now that we know the context… good shit.

It makes Jess a much more interesting, layered character: one that doesn’t fall neatly under categories of good or bad, just a flawed, stressed-out mother who made one mistake too many, unable to accept that it’ll be her final legacy and pass on. We see her good sides, her determination, her regret for her mistakes, but we also see the darker side in her temper and quickness to violence. Truly, as the movie alludes to many times, a modern Greek tragedy with a deeply flawed hero.

Hey, why was Heather in this movie, though?

Summer Time Rendering

I noped outta this one pretty quick. Things were already looking dicey when we got both a classic anime Oops Accidentally Bumped My Whole Face Into Your Boobs and a gratuitous panty shot by minute 3, and then it turns out this is a time loop story, and those are our time loop building block events, meaning every loop will start with the boob thing. Then, in loop #3, MC prevents his friend from crashing her bike – the event that leads to the panty shot – and we get the exact same panty shot anyway from her diving into the water?? nah fuck off

Anyway, normally I don’t record any thoughts for things I drop, but I kinda just wanted an excuse to post this exchange lol

[the-mighty-dalob]

Hey Dalob. I just wanted to catch up with you. I've been doing well. My wizard tower has been working quite well. I'm currently renovating the walls to add extra pipelines for a project headed by @mr--zer0. Aside from being punished to eternal torment for accidentally summoning a giant jerboa which damaged @the-gnomish-bastard's yard, I'm doing well.

How are you doing?

@incompetent-wizard

Doing well so far, definitely not up to any rebellions in far flung areas of Space to overthrow an Evil Empire and reinstate its proper ruler through a Violent coup in the making. Nope, not doing that.

But what i do has changed little, from caring for my dragon watching it grow, wrangling joking Undead in the Lair or dumping Salt on Unsuspecting Shrimp.

Generally still doing what i do best, Keeping myself and those important to me safe while making the best of it during.

The Gilded Age's Broadway Divas: Peggy Scott (Denée Benton)

The stylish and erudite Peggy Scott is the bridge between the whites of New York and the oft-overlooked Black elite. Her story is often separate from the vapid society scandals our other ladies are deeply entrenched in. While they sip tea and bicker about opera boxes, Peggy hides from a lynch mob in a barn and kisses a real-life historical figure with a wife and child at home. Great.

Denée Benton made her Broadway debut in my personal favorite show, Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812, one of Tumblr's personal favorites as well, apparently. In it, she played the young ingenue, Natasha Rostova, marking a significant victory for young Black women who never get to play romantic leads, especially in traditionally white stories. She then went on to join the Natasha-Eliza pipeline and took on the role of Eliza Schuyler in Hamilton, a character originated by Philippa Soo, who had previously played Natasha in the first few off-Broadway productions of Comet. Full circle. Adding to the pipeline, Shoba Narayan who was an ensemble member and Natasha understudy also went on to star as Eliza in one of the touring companies of Hamilton.

Before and after shooting season two of The Gilded Age, Denée returned to the stage to star as Cinderella in the Encores! Into the Woods production last spring. More on that later.

#1: "No One Else," Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 (2016)

Now, when I call classical sopranos a dying breed, I am not saying they no longer exist. Denée Benton is one of the few young sopranos in the theatre, and we all dearly hope she continues to grace our stages rather than transfer to the lucrative world of film and television as so many do. Denée's singing voice in this is just exquisite. I saw it four times on Broadway, and I'd have seen it god only knows how many more if it hadn't closed.

Great Comet was a critical success in its off-Broadway life. Based on a 72-page slice of War and Peace, it follows Natasha Rostova as she navigates young love and all the scandal that entails. It is a beautiful production no matter where you see it. Whether it was in the tent in the Meatpacking District, or the gorgeously renovated Imperial Theatre. Unfortunately, it was an expensive endeavor that did not pan out financially for producers. Broadway was just a little too big. But it has since had a robust regional and international life, spawning productions in Brazil, Japan, and across the U.S.

On-screen mother Audra McDonald (Dorothy Scott) sang this song in April of 2015, several months before Denée would take over the role of Natasha. Like mother, like daughter. Audra's rendition has since been taken off youtube, and I am bereft. But I can link you to an audio HERE.

#2: "On the Steps of the Palace," Encores! Into the Woods (2022)

Concluding their 2022 season, NYCC launched a wildly successful production of Into the Woods, one of Sondheim's most beloved works. Here, Denée plays Cinderella and we all know and love that story. Broadway itself has had at least four Cinderella stories, and I'd argue this one is the best adaptation. But the competition is...not fierce. (With condolences to Bad Cinderella's Grace McLean, fellow Comet cast member.)

The Encores! production then transferred to Broadway in July of 2022, but by then Denée was filming Gilded Age and did not transfer with it. So of course, who came in to replace her? Philippa Soo. And, when the show's original cast move on and the new cast came in, Denée Benton was back in the saddle as Cinderella again. Isn't theatre a wonderful thing?

The above is just a brief clip of Denée during Encores! If you want a full bootleg, let me know.

#3 "Maybe This Time," 11th Annual "Living For Today" Fundraiser (2018)

Showcasing her range, as more than just a lyrical soprano, Denée took part in a night of Kander and Ebb music to benefit the Gilana's Fund alongside other Broadway actors like Betsy Wolfe, Lesli Margherita, and Bebe Neuwirth, my beloved.

This song is, of course, from the classic Cabaret, now returning to Broadway this spring in a reimagined production from the West End. Bebe Neuwirth to star as Fraulein Schneider. It's all connected.

And once again, Audra McDonald has also sung this song. And it's as marvelous as you think.

Someone please mount a production of Light in the Piazza where it's a dual cast situation. On A days, give me Ruthie Ann Miles and Anna Zavelson for Asian!Piazza, and on B days give me Audra and Denée for Black!Piazza.

parents discussing change in plans for house renovation to insulting me and yelling at me for not having all perfect grades but having a few exams in the summer and overall calling me a total 0 of what my father expected from me as his child pipeline is insane this evening

[erigold13261]

>:D headcanon time!!

1. Cryil, Purl and West like batman (little edgelords)

2. Zuke's favorite books is the neverending story

3. 1010 and love the gil del Toro Pinocchio movie

4. Yinu likes Caroline and Wendell and Wild

5. Yiruk , Kayane and Dew are working on a life- sized plane made out of lego

6. Tatiana hates he-man, you bet Mystery Man uses that to get revenge on her for all the Golden girl memes

7. Eve and Celine restore dolls (especially monster high dolls)

8. Sayu- crew has a Minecraft server for themselves and Thier fans

9. Mayday is a twilight fan, and she's no ashamed of it

1). Yeah but only certain iterations of Batman. They like the Batman who helps sick people and gives them second chances, not the version that is hellbent of revenge and sadistic/masochistic. (thinking of that video of Batman sitting with the dying girl that was altering reality. That's the Batman they love)

2). Haven't read the book or watched the movies. However, if that's Zuke's favorite books, then I can say something about West. Because, like me, growing up West thought the story title was stupid since of course it had to end. He would annoy Zuke about it whenever he say him reading the book.

3). Also have yet to watch that, but I head good reviews of it! It also looks really good, so yeah, I can see 1010 liking it!

4). I again, unfortunately have not seen Wendell and Wild (I don't watch a lot of new stuff lol) but I have seen Coraline! Yinu starts collecting buttons after watching that movie and probably wants to learn how to sew a bit (not the reaction Mama thought she would have from that movie)

5). Don't know about life-size, but they would definitely make a BIG model out of legos. Especially after Dew gets his area of Barracca Mansion after some renovations. Because Celine and Yiruk would not have space for that.

6). I remember watching He-Man as a kid, but only just barely. I didn't like it because of the animation for some reason. I'm going to say Tatiana hated it because of Skeletor's voice being annoying to her (like how some people refuse to watch spongebob because of his voice being annoying)

7). I don't know why, but this made me think of Carna stealing some of their dolls and cutting the hair up for fun. After getting in trouble, the two try to invite faer to learn more about doll restoration and stuff. But fae just wants to keep old decrepit dolls now, without restoring them (much to 1010 and Neon being a little creeped out by the dolls)

8). The Sayu SMP. A special modded minecraft server that deals with underwater combat, preservation, and I don't know, a bunch of other stuff. The Crew's server is a private one that they casually play on from time to time.

9). Isn't there a My Chemical Romance to Twilight pipeline or something like that? Idk, but (once again) I have not seen Twilight, so all I know is the memes and hate it got. But sure, Mayday can be a little Twilight fan! Now the question is if she is team Edward or Jacob? I have no idea lol.

Is It Better to Invest in Land or House?

Is It Better to Invest in Land or House?

SEARCH LAND FOR SALE Ever since the pandemic, it has become more difficult for people to purchase real estate, primarily due to rising property prices and competition because of a lack of availability. Still, since real estate tends to keep its value, owning property is more important than ever as inflation rears its ugly head.   If you’re a novice real estate investor, you might need help determining whether to purchase a parcel of land or a home. In addition, find the answer to the most important question: “is it better to invest in land or a house?” and make an informed decision.

Land Is Easier to Maintain

Undeveloped land is far simpler to maintain than houses and has little to no additional upkeep costs. Of course, this does not imply that you should purchase a plot and forget about it, but owning a piece of land is less demanding compared to alternative investments. For instance, if you intend to make some passive income out of your land, do some simple touch-ups to enhance its quality by leveling the uneven ground and removing invasive plants. On the other hand, if you choose to rent out your house, you will need to deal with everything from minor wiring and plumbing problems to extensive remodeling and renovation work. Also, you will be responsible for fixing any issues that inevitably develop over time, such as water damage, peeling paint, scratched flooring, worn-out carpets, and other issues. Moreover, if you’re using the buy-and-hold land investment strategy, you don’t even need to visit the plot of land regularly. Suppose your plot is safe and has a boundary wall. In that case, you only need to check it occasionally to ensure there are no obvious damages like a burst pipeline or illegal encroachments. If everything seems in order, you should simply wait and see the property value appreciate with time.

Plots of Land Have Higher Resale Value

This is one of the most critical points in the “is it better to invest in land or house” debate: land value rises with time, whereas the resale value of houses decreases drastically. Even if you can rent a house or an apartment for a constant cash stream, it will continue losing its value. The market value can depreciate due to the house’s obsolete design, antiquated construction methods, and normal wear and tear. The price of your residential unit can also be negatively impacted by the development of new, contemporary projects in the neighborhood. On the other hand, the value of raw land increases rather quickly. That is particularly true if it is situated in a popular or up-and-coming neighborhood. After all, there will always be a sizable portion of wealthy buyers who favor purchasing acres of land and constructing a bespoke home that meets their needs rather than buying an old house that requires time and money to fix.  So, despite the lack of immediate cash flow, purchasing raw land is a wise decision for people looking to make long-term investments. Moreover, the high resale value will more than make up for the fact that a plot will lie there for a long time without producing any profit.

Land Offers Greater Flexibility

Investment in land offers virtually unlimited possibilities. If building your own house has always been the primary driver behind your real estate purchase, you can do it. Alternatively, you may keep it until its worth increases and sell it to a developer. Some people will even buy a piece of property to keep cattle on and sell it later if they want. You could even develop a rental home on a few acres to make extra money. Land is a very versatile investment because it has so much potential. SEARCH LAND FOR SALE

A Piece of Land Is Cheaper to Buy

Purchasing vacant land is far less expensive than buying a home or an apartment. The reason behind this is simple: when you’re buying a house, you’re essentially paying for two things — the lot and the actual building.  Thus the answer to the question is it better to invest in land or house is straightforward. Additionally, you won’t really be able to customize the home unless you also perform repairs on the site, which may wind up costing you more money than you intended.   On the other hand, the vacant piece of land allows you to plan a desirable floor layout while leaving room for a backyard garden or family gatherings around a bonfire. In other words, when owning land, you are the master of your ship. 

What to Do with Your Land Investment

Once you invest in vacant land, you have numerous options for what to do with it. You could buy and hold onto it and then sell it when its price appreciates. While you wait on its value to increase, you can lease it and earn passive income or actively use it for ranching, farming, or anything else. Another option is to learn the highest and best use of the land and develop it accordingly. If you go down this route, answer the following questions: - Is the planned usage physically attainable? What can and cannot be built can be restricted due to the land’s topography. - Is the proposed use authorized? Zoning regulations may apply. - Does the transaction make sense financially? Analyzing the market is necessary here. You should be aware of the various projects’ construction expenses and their potential for income, such as the rent they might bring in. - What is the land’s optimal use? The ideal course of action can be decided when you have calculated your numbers and comprehended the implications around the land.

Is It Better to Invest in Land or House: Final Thoughts

The land cost has been steadily rising, a trend that’s anticipated to continue. Due to the imbalance between supply and demand, land prices have increased by twice as much as those of other types of property.

[ad_1] Virat Kohli (PC: Debasis Sen) After consecutive failures of the Indian Test team against New Zealand and Australia, BCCI released a 10-point policy to change the ‘culture’ in the team. One of the policy mandates was making domestic cricket mandatory for all centrally contracted players. The mandate saw a sudden influx of Indian cricketing giants in the Ranji Trophy, something the fans hadn’t witnessed for a long while. After fans witnessed the likes of Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and more, represent their domestic state teams in India’s premier domestic Test series, it’s time for another of the biggest names in Indian cricket to take the crease at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Following his abysmal form in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli is all set to play for Delhi on January 30th in a Ranji Trophy game against the Railways. Kohli, who had missed out on Delhi’s group-stage match against Saurashtra due to a neck strain, will play the team’s final game of the season after being out of the domestic circuit for more than a decade. Looking back on Kohli’s last appearance in Ranji Trophy, he had played a game against Uttar Pradesh in the 2012-13 season. The Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) is making special preparations as they expect fans to turn up in large numbers at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. DDCA is making sure that the stadium is ready to host around 10,000 spectators amidst ongoing renovations. Rohan Jaitley, DDCA President, has confirmed that although the stadium is under renovation, extra seating arrangements will be made for fans if it is necessary. In addition, DDCA has waived off ticket fees and made the entry free for anyone turning up to watch the match. Even though the BCCI has implemented the policy to strengthen the domestic circuit and ensure a fair participation of centrally contracted players in the domestic circuit, it has had a positive impact on how fans are consuming domestic matches. There has been a renewed interest in the ongoing Ranji Trophy where fans are showing up in large numbers to watch their favourite Indian players. This isn’t just a move to strengthen the ecosystem but a chance for young fans to witness their cricketing idols up close. Ultimately, the consumption of domestic cricket, both physical and online, will complete the circle of youngsters getting inspired to pick up the sport. Not only that, this also serves as an opportunity for young players to rub shoulders with some of the best in the world and also get the eyeballs by putting in good performances. Domestic cricket continues to serve as the backbone of India’s cricketing legacy and the rapid interest will continue strengthening the foundation of Indian cricket by nurturing future stars and ensuring a steady pipeline of talent for the national team. This is every step in the right direction in keeping domestic cricket as a vital part of the country’s sporting culture.
