It’s Finally Over…
It’s finally over. This recession, summer vacation, sleepless nights and the endless torture of our short sale purchase. Yesterday, we finally closed on our dream home.
I woke up the morning after still in disbelief. Half excited, part scared, but ready to move. Our family has been living with 1/3 of our possessions for the past month. I haven’t missed a thing until I had to go to a “Barn Bash” and dig out a pair of boots and a cowboy hat. I would like to just leave everything in storage and start over.
The remodeling has already started. We have two weeks to get the place together after it has sat vacant for 5 months. If there was any doubt that we have purchase the money pit, that was cleared up yesterday morning when we turned on the water to the exterior hose bibs and it started shooting out of the drywall next to the electrical panel. I guess the old adage, “You get what you pay for”, fits in nicely here.
Short sales are a big part of our market and will be around for a while. Some of the best deals that I have seen are not bank owned or foreclosures, but short sales. If you are looking to invest in real estate, don’t ignore this opportunity. Just don’t get emotionally involved…
