We checked out a couple of houses in the small town we're beginning to love but neither of them was this one. Both the others were huge houses, way too big for what we'd be interested in having as a vacation home or AB&B place.
This little home has been on the market for a long time, about 9 months. it was purchased in 2022 for $45,000 and they started taking it apart to flip it but then the money guy died. Now they're asking $79,000. Thats a joke.
We didn't even drive by this house, not that we know of for sure, but there is NO WAY IN HELL its worth anywhere near that much, especially since all they did was dismantle the guts.
We're talking over financials and might make an offer next week,
an offer higher than 45 but way lower than 79.
They were obviously going to reuse the same old insulation and they left piles of the old 2x4s in the yard so I'm sure we'd have to dispose of them.
What I like is its in the small town I want to live in,
its got water, sewer and power and is halfway fenced in.
If we decide to make an offer it will be contingent on our personal inspection
and we'd make a cash offer.
Paying cash should make them go down on how much they want for it.
We would fly down and inspect it and if its acceptable we'd want to sign papers that weekend and own it fast.
If anything happens, like the house sells to someone else before we make an offer, we'd use the cash to rebuild our shop here. It needs an entire new roof and a bunch of walls are pretty bad too. I'd want a new footprint, adding covered parking on the house side for the RVs and a lean-too on the barn side for the tractors and implements.
Fingers crossed.
I'm just tired of finding places I like & losing them due to procrastination or 'we're not ready'.
I AM READY.
