Staging #3: Sold

February 16, 2010

Our Staging Project #3 that we did for a local investor sold last week (congrats to Steve!)… We staged this property last month…it was a condo in a nice section of Atlanta (Buckhead), and to be honest I’m a little surprised it sold so quickly. Not because it wasn’t a great property, but there were […]

House #13: Second Contract

February 15, 2010

It turns out we never did receive that fourth offer on The Poor House over the weekend, but it turns out that it didn’t really matter…we countered the third-offer, and they quickly accepted. So, we once again have this one under contract, and we hope to close in about a month… We were pretty stringent […]

House #13: Third (Fourth?) Offer

February 12, 2010

We received our third offer on The Poor House today…and we may be getting number four this afternoon… We countered the second offer that we received last week, and because we weren’t very confident that the buyers would actually be able to close, we were pretty stringent on our counter. We countered close to full […]

House #16: You Get All Kinds

February 9, 2010

We had someone stop into The Probate House last week while we were finishing up renovations. Our contractors let her in to look around (as we prefer they do), and gave her our number to call us. She called my wife and basically said, “I live in the area with my mom and have been […]

House #16: Final Pictures

February 8, 2010

We mostly finished up rehab on The Probate House over the weekend, including staging and decorating… I never did get around to posting the BEFORE pics (maybe before we sell it), but here are the final pictures of the house… The house is deceptively big. Not shown in the pictures is two extra rooms that […]

House #12: Final Analysis

February 5, 2010

We closed on the sale of The Mini House today… I’d like to say this was a fun project, but after dealing with four different buyers over the past six months, I’m pretty sick of having to deal with or think about this house. I take full responsibility for this one not closing back in […]

House #12: Last Issue?

February 4, 2010

Will the issues ever end with The Mini House?!?! First, the two pieces of good news: The buyer completed her inspection last weekend, and aside from fixing a couple flooring issues (stain on the vinyl and a bad carpet seam), everything was good. We actually had a the thermostat break after the inspection, so we […]

House #13: Second Offer

February 3, 2010

We received our second offer on The Poor House today… We were originally told we’d be getting an offer about two weeks ago, but due to some family issues, the buyer was out of town for much of the past two weeks. Then, we were told we’d be getting an offer this past weekend, but […]

Very quick update on all the houses and other stuff going on… House #1: The Corn House According to the credit repair company we have them set up with, the lease-purchase tenants may be close to qualifying for an FHA loan. I don’t know if that’s actually the case, but we plan to have them […]
