House #2 is out of play

My wife checked in on the house and talked with one of the neighbors of house #2 and she found from a neighbor that an officer of the bank is purchasing the house for less than the value of the loan.

Hmmm… Doesn’t that seem likea conflict somewhere? They probably used my offer for “market value” and then purchased it for about the same price.

Anyway… Still on the hunt for the next deal.

Looked at another house yesterday

The house was in a lower income part of town and built in 1924.  It had a lot of character but the risk vs reward spread was too thin to justify the transaction.

House #2 - Back in action again

Categories: Real Estate.

I just got a call from the bank about House #2.  I guess they have foreclosed and hold a clear title now.  I returned the call to the bank president (small bank) and should be speaking with him soon. 

 I’m pulling recent sales and active listings to see how the neighborhood is selling these days.

House #1 has a OK offer. I guess it is good offer considering the slow market these days.

Anyway we should be closing the end of this month.

The realtor called yesterday and said traffic was picking up on the house and she has three really interested buyers. Should expect something later this week.

If this house doesn’t sell soon I will rent it out for a few years.

Still waiting for the offer on house #1

I have two more families that are interested in the House (according to the agent) and should be expecting an offer or two.

I always forget what it was like when purchasing that 1st House. The nervousness, excitement, everything else. I understand one of the couples is nervous about purchasing their first house.

Offer sent for House #2

I just dropped the offer and contract in the mail for potential house #2. It is a fair offer that allows the current owner to pay off his mortgage, back taxes, back HOA, and receive a some money at closing.

This property will probably be a rental but we might flip this one also.
