We have two closings today. The refi for House 4 is done. We ended up making $15.5K profit on that deal! I’m so happy!
Also, we’ve got the closing for House 8 this evening–it’s the last closing on the roster for this month at the title/closing company. We squeezed it in just in the nick of [...]
Not only am I grateful for the everyday things in my life, I’m also thankful for the following:
1.) The lender that saved our butts on House 8 was willing to bend his own rule and give us that loan before the one from House 4 was paid off by the refi.
2.) When Michael asked, our [...]
Our offer on the latest HUD house was accepted! House 10 is a charming little place–half stone, half frame. It’s a 3/1/0, with about 1250 sq ft. We’re buying it for just over $22K. I figure it will need about $5K worth of work. It can probably appraise once it’s done for about $55K. So, [...]
We’ve been looking at more houses as they’ve come up recently. We put an offer in on a great HUD house last Friday. I’ve been waiting to hear if we got it or not. So far, our agent doesn’t know. But, I wanted to tell you about another house we saw. Walking up to the [...]
If all goes well, we should only need two more houses to reach our goal of $100K. We’ll need to have at least that much before we can think about purchasing a million dollar property. $100K is only 10% of the purchase price, of course, so the seller will also have to carry $100K as [...]
Well, GMA called and said they’ve decided to bump our story in favor of spending more time on the space shuttle. I guess we’re on hold indefinitely. I’ll let you know if anything changes. But, for now, I think I’m a little relieved! I have so much going on with trying to keep the House [...]
Everyone needs to tune into Good Morning America tomorrow to see me make a big fool of myself! A camera crew is coming to town to set up a live interview of me in front of House 8. I’m quaking a little in my boots. But, I suspect that right before the interview, I’ll relax [...]
I’m trying to decide right now where to go for dinner. I’m waaaaay too lazy to cook tonight. Hmmm, what can I eat that’s bad for me while Michael’s not around…..
Michael’s mom’s funeral was this morning. It was an impressive event–hundreds of people came. There were flower arrangements in every color of the rainbow. She [...]
I just got a call from the lady lender for House 8–the house that we’re purchasing for just over $25K (on Tuesday!!!) that should appraise for around $100K once it’s done. She said, “I don’t think we’re going to be able to help you purchase this house.” I said, HUH?!?!?! She said her bank sent [...]
For a while now, I’ve subscribed to the email newsletter at http://www.resultsnow.com/ . Peter and David have written a couple of books, one of which I own. I get the emails simply because every once in a while, I’ll get an idea from them. Today, I got a lengthy email from them, regarding developing “a [...]
