"Condo Conversion" – the words printed on the email held a profound significance for Richard. He read the words over and over, savoring them, like a fine wine. This wasn't just a change in property status; it was a chance to transform his life.

He knew he would make it his highest priority. He began to treat the apartment like a business. Every decision, every expense, every interaction with the other tenants was now framed through the lens of potential profit.

He was impatient. He wished the process would speed up, that the market would cooperate. He secretly hoped that the other tenants would make mistakes, would sell too low. He saw them as mere pawns in his financial game.
