Here is a house I looked at last weekend.Flat paint touched up with semi-gloss...nice touch.
It wasn't a bad place, and to my surprise it wasn't a foreclosure. I think they just are tired of it, or having bad renters since it is a rental. It did need the entire interior painted and the entire house needed new carpet.The house itself was structurally sound, although the garage door would not open up all the way. It has a nice yard, and is in a quiet area on a slow street. The price is $219,000 for 1200 sq ft which is not a screaming bargain, but I am looking now and I would buy this place for $179,000 because it does need some minor work and is small so for resale it's worth less in my eyes.The realtor showed up a half-hour late, and apologized for being late. Normally I would not have waited a full half-hour, but with all the bad realtors I have been dealing with not returning e-mails or phone calls, I wanted to see if this lady would even show up. Who knows, maybe she sat around the corner watching me to see how serious I was by how long I waited. I'm sure realtors get tired of flakey buyers. Heh.
So the search continues...

These days I'm shocked she didn't make you fax over a prequal letter before agreeing to meet you at all!
Maybe thats why they do not return my calls or E mails.
Were the X-mas lights still up and running?
Not running but still up the cord was to short to reach the outlet.
What a crappy neighborhood, look at the cheap, probably illegal, additions to the houses in the backyard.
