Curtis was able to find a lot with a house in his price range.
Unfortunately, it was listed in the Sheriff’s Sale after being seized from criminals.
The clerk at the courthouse where he signed the papers had warned him …
It was going to need some work.
Nicholas was the first to show up while Curtis was still trying to figure out where to start.
Nicholas
”Hey Curtis … I thought I heard you roll in …
Brought that book by and left it inside.
Man … Did you know this place was a dump?
And I don’t mean that like it needs a little work …
It’s literally a dump.”

Curtis
”Price Nick … Yeah, I knew what I was getting.
But when I showed up in Hidden Springs for the challenge …
I didn’t look much better.”
Nicholas
Laughing to try and lighten the mood …
”Well, we could take some of these tires,
a book of matches, and grab a package of hotdogs.
I don’t know how much of this place you can salvage.”

Curtis
”I had plenty of time to think about things in lock-up.
It’s not about where you start … It’s where you finish.
Potential Nick … I see potential in this place.
If nothing else, Susan taught me how to extract value out of a rock.”
“This place may never be the Taj Mahal …
But it can be more than a dump.”

Nicholas
”Well let me go see if I can borrow a truck.
I’m off today, and there is no time like the present to start working around here.
We can haul some of this stuff to the City Dump.
I appreciate your help with the book and my present for Carol.”

Curtis
”Thanks Nick, you’ve been inside already, what’s it like in there?
I’m almost dreading to look.”
Nicholas
”Looks like the cops probably tossed the place when they busted the guys living here.
But … I think someone has been in there since.
If you ask me, I think the yard is worse than inside.
It’s structurally sound, and there aren’t any holes in the walls if that makes you feel better about looking.”
Curtis took a look inside after Nicholas went to borrow a truck.
Nicholas had been correct, the yard was in worse shape than the inside.
It was all doable … He could fix this place.
