We closed on The Poor House this past Thursday, and after some confusion at the closing table (my wife was still in the hospital and needed to sign some papers), the house is now officially ours.

House #6: Fifth Offer

September 16, 2009

After my small rant yesterday about The Red Garage House being “the bane of my existence,” we just received our 5th offer this morning! But, unlike the previous four offers, I’m actually confident that we’ll be able to get this one closed. The buyer submitted the offer this morning, and gave us a deadline of […]
