House #1 - LEASE OPTION

Update for 2/26/2010

February 26, 2010

Here’s an end-of-the-week update on all the houses and other stuff going on…
House #1: The Corn House
We found out that the lease/buyers for this house haven’t been paying off their credit card each month like the credit repair company suggested. They likely would have qualified last month if it had not been for [...]

Very quick update on all the houses and other stuff going on…
House #1: The Corn House
According to the credit repair company we have them set up with, the lease-purchase tenants may be close to qualifying for an FHA loan. I don’t know if that’s actually the case, but we plan to have them [...]

House #1: Contract Extended

August 30, 2009

If you recall from our last general update, our lease purchase contract on The Corn House is about to expire at the end of August. Given that the buyers hadn’t much improved their credit since April, and worse yet that they had bounced a rent check (that they immediately replaced with a cashier’s check), [...]

A quick update on where each of the properties stand:
House #1: The Corn House
We’ve collected four on-time rent checks, and according to the contract, we should be closing on the lease-option on this one at the end of next month. Unfortunately, based on the credit check that the mortgage broker ran last month, [...]

Juggling lots of houses right now, so thought I’d give a quick run-down on the status of everything going on:
House #1: The Corn House
We received our second rent check from The Corn House tenants, so at least they’re off to a good start.
We also had the tenants check in with our mortgage [...]
