I think I could look north of 466 for the next year and not find anything close to a deal like that.
Good for you!
The deals are out there if you are patient. The previous owners initially tried to get $309K for the home, what they had into it, not a lot of bites and then got into a pinch with time and money, and I swooped in with cash offer.

When I buy I look at 100s of homes online, narrow that down to maybe 20-30 homes that I look at in person, and then make decisions. You need to be ready to make cash offers in order to get the best deals.

There is no way that buying new homes in Fenney is a better deal when you factor in zero bonds, lots of upgrades, and tons of amenities that exist now, not in the future.
