Kay and I spent two days in New Orleans so he could buy some more property. Honestly, I think he has enough but I accompanied him on the trip. The property was being sold by HUD, Department of housing and urban development and the property had no stipulations. All his other properties bought from HUD had stipulations…. i.e. keep it low income for 20 years, fix roofs etc. We got off the plane and drove directly there. All he had to go by was a picture, google earth and no one would answer his phone calls or emails so we drove to the property and found they had used a pre-Katrina photo and didn’t mention some major problems.
Kay went to the auction and talked the only guy bidding into lowering his bid from 50,000 dollars to one dollar. Even Kay, who is known for buying ridiculous stuff wouldn’t touch this one (and doing well with them). I was glad to know he has his limits. We did get to the New Orleans school of cooking (Kay went with me for my birthday) and the WWII museum and went to Omaha a day early.
