Found while driving for dollars and noticed a For Sale sign buried in the bushes. 300+ days on market. Asking price was $64,900, down from $80k original listing price. I offered $42,500. They countered at $59k. I countered at $44,500. They countered at $54k. I said contingent upon walk through… walked through and stuck to my $44,500 which they accepted.

In the last 3 years since ownership, I’ve had to replace 2 exterior flood bulbs, rebuild a small exterior stair system, and install a new A/C Condenser unit in the spring after move in since we couldn’t test mid winter.
As a bonus, I’ve had the privilege of moving a favorite tenant family from one of my 2 bedroom apartments into this beautiful home that they are forever grateful for.
Rinse and Repeat.
