House #1 – SOLD

House #1: Roof Issue

March 3, 2011

I mentioned in my last post that we were undergoing Rehab #2 on The Corn House, now that the lease-purchase tenants have left… While the rehab is going pretty well (we’re trying a new rehab crew on this one, and they’re a bit slower and less meticulous than we’re used to), the one major issue […]

House #1: Second Rehab

March 1, 2011

After notifying us that they weren’t planning to renew their lease-option, the lease-purchase tenants for The Corn House apparently didn’t want to finish out their current lease (they told us they were leaving in March, when their lease was up), and have vacated the property after two years… The good news is that they left […]

House #1: Refinance

August 24, 2010

I gave an update on The Corn House yesterday, and forgot to mention one thing. I’ve had about a bunch of my own cash tied up in this house for the past two years, and without refinancing my cash out (i.e., using some financial leverage), my ROI on that cash investment is ending up to […]

House #1: Summer Update

August 23, 2010

I’ve had a couple people ask me for an update on The Corn House, and I realized that it’s been a while since I’ve even mentioned it… My last update was in May, at which point the lease-purchase tenants were making progress on their credit and we were pursuing both FHA and NACA financing for […]

Here’s an end-of-the-week update on all the houses and other stuff going on… House #1: The Corn House We found out that the lease/buyers for this house haven’t been paying off their credit card each month like the credit repair company suggested. They likely would have qualified last month if it had not been for […]

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 […]

December 21, 2009

I haven’t had a chance to post in a couple days because I’ve been out of town, so I thought I’d give a quick update on everything we have going on these days… House #1: The Corn House Nothing much new with The Corn House. The lease-purchase tenants are consistently paying their rent, and their […]
