Most people guessed somewhere between $150,000 and $300,000. They weren't wrong to guess that. The cabin at 1408 Turtle Lake Road in Gaylord, Michigan is modest by any measure — 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,126 square feet, carpet and laminate floors, and an appliance list that begins and ends with a refrigerator. It's the kind of place that's perfectly functional and completely unpretentious. A hunting cabin. A base camp. A place to sleep after a long day outside. The outside,

I made a 1 minute and 11 second video that starts with a very real thought I’ve had more than once: “I should be responsible.” …and then immediately: “Wait. A CASTLE?” So here we go — three “castles,” three countries, three wildly different levels of commitment. We start in Michigan, pivot to France for the “this might actually be doable” option, and end in Italy where the listing basically says “Price on request” and I remember I order water at restaurants.

It’s one of those properties that instantly sparks imagination: What could this become? What stories does it hold? What would you do with a space like this? That question led to a fun idea: if this kind of historic, sacred space can become real estate here in Wes

If you’re house hunting in Greater Grand Rapids, you already know the number that keeps coming up: about $400,000 . It’s roughly where the average sale price has been hovering, and it’s a price point that a lot of buyers and sellers pay attention to. So I decided to do something different. Instead of only talking about what $400K buys here (which I do all day, every day), I made a short video that zooms out and asks a simple question: What else can $400K buy around the rest o
