Chapter 829: Chapter 792: Becoming a Landlady

"Let’s go, Xiaowei, we’re done here." After visiting this thousand-plus square meter luxury villa, Lin Wanwan called for Su Yanwei to leave. She already had a plan in mind for what furniture to add.

"Alright." What Su Yanwei envied most about the villa was the over 800-square-meter basement that came with it.

Although they called it a basement, due to the numerous light wells, it didn’t feel dark at all. Some buildings with poor design only have this level of light transparency.

The basement had been designed with a wine cellar, a bar, a home theater, a gym, a yoga room, a private swimming pool, parking spaces, and a small basketball court, making it fully functional enough to spend an entire day inside without going out.

Upon leaving the villa, Su Yanwei had one thought: it’s great to have money, and he wanted to work hard to earn it.

However, he felt that even if he started working from the Hemudu period, he probably wouldn’t earn enough to buy such a peninsula villa.

After all, the total price of this peninsula villa had exceeded one small goal, beyond what ordinary people could imagine. It’s something you’re born with, or you may never own it in your lifetime.

As for Lin Wanwan, although she also thought it was nice here, she wasn’t too shocked. After all, compared to the noble mansions she had seen in the Great Tang, these villas were nothing.

Not to mention the residences of the royal family in Great Tang, even her own courtyard in Xiaoxi Town was better than this villa.

The complex of pavilions, terraces, and towers with winding paths and the exquisite windows that offer changing views were like a masterpiece of nature, as if the vast landscapes were condensed within the courtyard, leaving one in awe of the master’s skill.

Compared to what could be considered a world heritage classic garden architecture, modern villas were merely so, with an excess of craftsmanship.

Of course, this peninsula villa was certainly much better than Lin Wanwan’s small villa in the suburbs, living up to the name of a luxury mansion.

The small villa that Lin Wanwan currently owned was built quite some time ago, and given Yongcheng’s humidity, the developer had foregone a basement and offered an attic instead, inadvertently losing a lot of space.

After all, the attic has low ceilings and is not easy to utilize.

After leaving the villa, Lin Wanwan arranged to meet with the previous manager Wang to see some of the remaining houses in the second phase and eventually selected a 139-square-meter small four-bedroom unit.

The reason Lin Wanwan bought a small unit was purely because she had extra money that she wanted to convert into fixed assets. After all, buying a house was an obsession for Huaxia people.

Why not buy a large flat? Simple, large flats are difficult to resell and rent out. Since this was meant as an investment, liquidity was a consideration.

If she could, Lin Wanwan would have wanted to buy a few more buildings, becoming a landlady in the future. Isn’t that easier than doing business?

After all, sometimes entrepreneurship is a tough, exhausting path to losing money, while the chances of losing money from collecting rent are much smaller.

Moreover, after three years of the pandemic, property prices were declining, and buying now, when they were low, was just right.

Besides buying a unit in this neighborhood, Lin Wanwan also planned to buy a few units in the neighborhood where Su Yanwei was purchasing a house.

Properties near Yongda were not within the purchase restriction zone; she paid full price, and could buy as many as she wanted, not caring about loan restrictions.

In addition to investing in real estate, Lin Wanwan wanted to buy a ranch and charter a small island in the neighboring Weng Mountain Islands to develop a fish farm, launching a high-end food line that could also camouflage the supplies for Great Tang.

She had already entrusted her personal assistant, Niu Kongqing, to handle the matters of the ranch and fishery.

When the time came, she would just be responsible for reviewing and signing contracts, saving much time and effort.

After spending some time with Niu Kongqing, Lin Wanwan was quite impressed with her. As per her hiring expectations, she just focused on her tasks and wasn’t curious about prying into other matters.

Leaving the Picturesque Scenery Community, Lin Wanwan and Su Yanwei went together to the district that he was interested in and toured it again. On the spot, she decided to purchase four units: two 89-square-meter ones, and two 138-square-meter ones. The 89-square-meter units were both on the 7th floor of Building 10, while the 138-square-meter units were on the 6th floor of Building 5.

Originally, she wanted to buy in the same building as Su Yanwei, but the unit he chose was a smaller area with one household per floor, which was very easy to sell.

When Lin Wanwan went to choose, there were no suitable properties left, only the top floor and the first and second floors.

She didn’t like the first and second floors.

Although the ground floor came with a small garden, there was always the worry of falling objects from above. The second floor was the scariest because while the first floor had its own separate drainage, the second floor bore the burden of all those above.

Recently, there was a case of sewage overflow in a national top-tier luxury community’s second floor in Haishi where Lu Shouyue lived, which even made it to the hot searches, just thinking about it made her feel creeped out.

As for the top floor, Lin Wanwan thought it had water leakage risks, so she didn’t like it either. There were too many news stories about this, and she had deep personal experience.

The attic of her own small villa on the third floor had leaks many times, and her grandparents had called people for repairs countless times over the years.

Last year, when she renovated, she almost redid all the waterproofing on the roof.

Relying on the developer’s quality control for comfort was a bit difficult; it’s more reassuring to directly choose floors less likely to have quality issues because the conscience of capitalists is the least trustworthy thing in this world.

As this neighborhood was ready for occupancy, Lin Wanwan didn’t have to go through the deposit process when buying a house. She signed the purchase contract that day, paid for the property, and only had to wait for the sales office’s professionals to complete the property rights certificate soon.

In one day, she spent over 20 million, quickly draining the balance on Lin Wanwan’s bank card to nearly nothing.

The keys to the newly purchased properties had already been handed over to Lin Wanwan. She messaged her private assistant, Niu Kongqing, to find a suitable agency to arrange rentals.

She also wanted to experience the joy of being a landlady.

Su Yanwei didn’t sign the house purchase contract that day; he wanted to arrange for his girlfriend to come over to sign with him. Since he had already decided to add her name, it was better to do it all at once, saving on the name addition fee.

Regarding these matters, Lin Wanwan naturally didn’t have an opinion. She had already done notarization for the money given to her cousin, preparing ahead for possible rainy days. The rest of it was the couple’s own business.

After concluding the real estate investment to increase fixed assets, Lin Wanwan took a stroll through both Yongtang and the Chinese Medicine Hall, then returned home to update her novel in the study.

By the time everything was settled, it was almost 8 PM, and it was already dark.

Without having a good look at the medical books today, Lin Wanwan hurriedly immersed herself in them for an hour, washed up, snacked on some light food, and then traveled back in time to the Great Tang.

It was late night in the Great Tang, so after a night’s sleep, she’d have fully adjusted her jet lag. As for whether she’d gain weight by eating in the middle of the night, Lin Wanwan didn’t worry about it. Her time zones were always mixed up, so she didn’t care about such little things anymore.

Tomorrow, she had already arranged to go fishing with Lin Mengbo and others.
