Got a new foreclosure and went to see it today.....$250,000 house....outside of a bunch of personal stuff, the house isn't too bad. Needs a new roof, may have some stucco damage and has a drainage problem. 3 br's, 2.5 baths, hardwoods, tile and berber carpet, 2420 sqft ranch.
I think all the problems are finally worked out on the big house and we will close next week....the lender yanked the loan from the private investing company and put it with another company after I said it either closes by the 3pm on the 3rd (it was to close on the 1st) or I'd put the buyer with a lender who could guarantee it would close on the 1st. The seller is supposed to close on their new house on the 3rd. Lender did some major faux pas and thought he could get away with it. NOT!!
We went this evening to Lowe's and Home Depot for some azaleas, rose bushes, monkey grass and something with little yellow flowers on it...we're going to try to get everything planted tomorrow in between rain squalls. We had another tree come down during this afternoon's storm. That's 2 pine trees down that we didn't have to pay a bloody fortune to a tree cutter to take them down. Last one was $75 to cut up and move into the woods, this one fell at the edge of the woods....just needs to be cut up and it's skinnier. The weather is supposed to get really bad on Saturday...the stuff that's in the midwest now. Rain more on Sunday and Sunday night it's supposed to be in the low 30's...weird weather!
