House #17: The Escher House

March 4, 2010

We just put House #17 under contract yesterday… It’s a bank-owned foreclosure right just about a mile from my personal residence. It’s a 22 year-old house, and to be honest, I have no idea how to describe the style. It’s a traditional, but also has some characteristics of a split level. Half of it sits […]

House #13: Appraisal

March 2, 2010

The appraisal for The Poor House came back at our contract price, so assuming no financing surprises, it looks like we’ll be going to closing on this one in the next two weeks… That said, we almost didn’t get a high-enough appraisal, and it was all my fault. As I mentioned in my article last […]

House #16: First Contract

February 28, 2010

We received our first offer on The Probate House over the weekend, and we negotiated a formal contract… I mentioned on Friday that we had two agents who had potential buyers, and one of those agents came through with an offer on Saturday. In fact, it turns out that the agent wasn’t representing a buyer […]

Staging #4: Pictures

February 23, 2010

My wife just finished up her fourth staging job for an outside investor. The investor hired her to stage a particularly challenging property — one that certainly benefited from staging — due to its unique layout. It’s a 1950s ranch which has undergone a complete renovation, including removing (and moving!) several walls for an updated, […]

MH #5: Bought & Sold

February 22, 2010

I’m a couple weeks behind on posting the details of some Mobile Home transactions, but wanted to get this one in here… We purchased our fifth mobile home about 2 weeks ago. It was a private sale from a woman who was moving out, and she was only asking $500. We paid her full price […]

House #15: First Contract

February 19, 2010

The Neighbor House is officially under contract for sale. If you recall, this was the house we were trying to sell to another investor, and we actually found a buyer via my blog post… At this point, I have mixed feelings about selling this house (it would be an easy flip), but the buyers seem […]
