Much excitement, such wow. They are asking 122 but it has been on the market for a bit so going to see if they will accept 115. Would have offered today but had to finish paperwork with the bank. Wish me luck!

Are you doing a cash buy, that'll help alot, even if you just are pre-approved that could help as well.

It's a sellers market right now though so negotiating may be hard, i'm surprised it's been on the market for awhile the way interest rates are right now etc.

Forgot to mention it was near downtown Portland! I hear it's a real riot there. The properties are going so fast they are on FIRE!

3 bed 1.5 bath. The full bath was recently refinished. I wish the tub was a bit bigger, but the bathroom still looks great.

Ever since I got on HRT, my life has really picked up. I'm down 80 lbs since January, I got a promotion at work, I started learning the flute and Swahili. I have to be a bit more consistent with my lessons, but I'm getting there. I can do the beginning of somewhere over the rainbow and I was able to pick out a few words when listening to a native speaker. I plotted out a story I am working on, but having issues with writing the plot in a way I like. I even picked up great courses plus and have been trying to learn some new things.

Can't I need it for the down payment and closing costs if they accept.

I am finishing off the approval with the bank tomorrow morning. Everything looks fine they just need me to come in and cross a few Ts and dot a few Is and I am meeting the realtor after work to send in the offer. As for why it is still on the market, they were originally asking 130,000 for it but reduced the price twice since. It does need a little work, but nothing major as it has an all new water heater, furnace, and roof. The biggest concern is the basement might have a leak, as it is a stone foundation, but it has a 3 car garage and I have a smart car, so I am not worried about storing anything down there and can look into water proofing it as even the asking price is well within my budget.

122k? That's a steal! That's less than a 20% downpayment here.

Honestly that's nothing there is a 6 bedroom 4 bath mini mansion for 140, but it is out in the boondocks and requires some fixing up. You can get a really nice newer house for around 200-250 here. And there are actual mansions for the upper hundred thousands.

I got curious while watching the lion king and started to look into it, I enjoyed the language so kept up with it.

I was going to make an offer before, but now I'm waiting. I should be done with my truck payment this year, and will probably also pay off my credit card soon, as well. Once I do that, I will probably call the bank again and stuff... Well, if I can find a house I like...

Just got back from the meeting. My realtor says he talked to the sellers realtor and it sounds like he is trying to dump his rental properties before covid makes things worse so good chances he takes the lower offer. The tenants he was renting to were in the middle of moving out when I saw the house so won't have to deal with them either.

I recently closed on a house and will be taking possession on Friday.

It's been a hectic two weeks. The previous owners wanted me to take immediate possession.

And yeah, 122k would mean I would be living in the hood and probably get stabbed. My place is still cheap compared to most major cities, but it is certainly not that cheap.

Next step is hiring an inspector, an appraiser, and signing everything off with the bank. It's going to be a messy next few days. But now I get to start packing as well.

Honestly, I think it is still a little over fair market value, but it's a seller's market and I think I can do enough fixes and upgrades that I should be able to raise the cost when and if I resell.

Feel free to come on up, just remember in exchange for cheaper houses there is not much entertainment around here and limited job options.

It's a sellers market right now though

Really? Seems like it'd be a buyer's market, given the recession.

Some years ago, I tried to look up the cheapest real estate listing in my area. The lowest I could find was $80k for what amounted to a sold-as-is that basically amounted to a something like a cabin (or extreme open concept) where it was one main room, a very tiny bedroom (iirc with twin beds on both sides), and a bathroom. It didn't even have a driveway, let alone a garage. No basement, and the as-is seemed to include trash piled out in the place. All that said, I was still surprised to see *anything* that low in my area.
