Everyone knows who Elvis Presley is, the King of Rock and Roll. So how would you like to own his three-bedroom, 1,260-square-foot house where he lived during 1943 and 1944, with a possible price of less than $50,000?
Yes, it’s possible. The house that Elvis lived in with his parents, Vernon and Gladys Presley, is going to be auctioned off by Rockhurst Auctions, on Sunday, August 14, 2022, at the Holiday Inn at 3411 Elvis Presley Blvd., in Memphis, Tennessee.
The house was originally located at 1241 Kelly Street, in East Tupelo, Mississippi. It was carefully dismantled and preserved, ready to be rebuilt. The dismantling was videotaped, and the house is currently stored in a trailer, which is included as part of the auction.
The estimate is between $30,000 and $50,000 with a starting price f $25,000.
What a great casita this would be to reconstruct in the back yard of an Elvis fan.
Almost a hundred other Elvis artifacts will also be offered at the auction.
Elvis has left the building.

Have you ever wanted to own your own island? Hav you ever wanted to own your own castle? Have you ever wanted to have a title of Lord (Laird)?
How would you like to have all of the above? Well you can. An island, The Isle of Vaila, located in Walls, Shetland, Scotland, is for sale.
The price? Offers over $2,146,288 are being considered. The island is being offered by Savills in Edinburgh.
Here is what you get as part of the purchase price:
This island, with beautiful views, has a private shore base into a sheltered bay with a pier.
The mansion/castle has four reception rooms and is furnished with the original late 1800s furniture.
So you get an island, a castle, and because the word “Lord” or “Laird” is generally used to refer to any owner of a landed estate in Scotland, according to Wikipedia, you technically get a “title”, although that is not specified in the listing and would require further research of titles with the Lord Lyon. In the traditional Scottish order of precedence, a laird ranked below a baron and above a gentleman.
So what more could you ask for? Anyone want to go in on this island with me?

With the high costs of buying or renting a house spreading across the nation, more and more homeowners are looking at building a tiny house in their backyard, and renters are looking to rent them.
A small house is generally considered to be between 400 and 1,000 square feet, and tiny houses are less than 400 square feet. The smallest tiny house is considered to be one that is only 80 square feet. I wonder if they hold a lot of parties in that house?
Last year, California passed new laws allowing homeowners to construct tiny houses due to the fact that rental costs have gone through the roof (no pun intended) in the state partially due to the shortage of available rental units. Some other states are following suit.
These homes can either be built by contractors or can be ordered online as a kit the is relatively easy to assemble. So what kind of a house can you get, and how much does it cost?
Generally, none of these come with foundation materials or shingles for the roof. Construction usually takes two people and can take anywhere from two days to a week to complete.
Maybe you can have your own real estate investment in your own back yard.
