But I know that Spokane does have an active gypsy community.

NO SALE.

The place sure is interesting, and there are individual items that are pretty cool. Like that print of Van Gogh's 'The Starry Night'... I've had one of those since forever.

......Park, which was a turn of the century city fairgrounds with a horse track around it's perimeter. Was later developed into a city park by the Olmstead Brothers.

Of course I'd probably actually live in a tiny house in the back of the property, because it is just a bit much for daily living. Or purchase the place next door and live there.
Only downside would be cleaning and tile maintenance, from what I can see.

This is a three-apartment structure. If I bought it I’d convert it back to single family, which would require tearing out about 90 percent of this crap, sinking $15k into appliances, tiling the entire floor and replacing the furnace with, probably, a mini-split.

By the time I got done I’d have about $600k in this place. I’d rather start with a house that didn’t need that much demolition.

... and I'd only change it gradually as I followed my own whims.

All told, I'd probably replace that electric range first, probably with an inductive unit.
