A Very Serious, Very Desperate Plea

I just heard from the realtor who is selling my dear, sweet Congress St building. The contract has fallen through!! Hooray!!

And the bad news...

The bank will be putting it up for auction in two weeks if they don't get a reasonable offer in before then. One might think, 'great- better bargaining power' but the reality is quite contrary. They need a minimum of $400,000- and that is not great. I could take the risk of letting it go to auction, but then it probably wouldn't end up mine. I want it to be mine.

To reiterate: this building will be my whole life. I'll manage it, live in it, restore it to its full historical glory, have my little shop in it (planning is very much underway for that- different subject) and most importantly, I will love it the way it deserves to be loved. If you take a closer look at that picture, you can see a white Subaru parked in front... almost as if it were mine already...

So folks, I am asking you to maybe play a little poker and send me the winnings... or maybe you want to buy the building and lease it to me? Something, anything, please, I really need your help.
