You know something, I have learned and am continuing to learn that things are way different down yonder than it was back home. The way to make money on NOTHING other than Real Estate in the North was to BUY at the best price and then you could be flexible at the time of the sale. Down here the negotiating part of buying is virtually non-existent unless in two years I've totally lost my touch. People barely want to talk about reducing their prices even when they are over the top with their price.
The other day I had two killer realtors in my home and asked questions about similar properties to mine that I already knew the answer to. They either gave me NOTHING but Half answers, misleading answers or outright downright lies. Just about NOTHING more than what I expected. They lowballed the price so they could pop a quick sale. I am on the other hand factual with my own investigation of what similar properties have sold for. I am laughing like hell on the inside while they are misleading me and my wife.
All the stars must be NOTHING but in alignment before we bust a move. How many times have we read on TOTV'S about I don't want to say old people so I'll say people in our age bracket being taken advantage of in one way or another? I was talking about selling my house and moving into a CYV and when we went out to look we were in ranches. I think I was perfectly clear but don't want to go unless it is what we want. We are very happy where we are and only want a CYV. If it can't be then so be it.
I have a feeling that one way or the other it will work out when the time is perfecto.
CYV, great shape or messed up really goodly where we save a bundle and I can make it my last rehab. I'm even going to get permits, how do you like that and the only other request would be NO, NO, NO, trees that I need a permit to take down. Value is the biggest thing. A project would be fine. Oh, TWO can's are a must.
