House #23: Final Analysis

June 8, 2011

We closed on The Horsey House today… (see all the financial results below) I was confident from the beginning that this would be a very profitable deal, though I had it in the back of my mind that the deal seemed a bit too good to be true, and was always waiting for something to […]

House #23: Selling Drama

May 30, 2011

We were supposed to close on the sale of The Horsey House several weeks ago (May 9, to be specific), but unfortunately, there has been a tremendous number of last-minute underwriting issues that have held things up, and could ultimately keep us from closing at all… It’s rare that we get held up in underwriting […]

House #23: Appraisals

May 5, 2011

Our buyer’s lender has had two appraisals on The Horsey House, and I’m thrilled to report that both came in above the contract price…so it appears that the last major hurdle for this transaction has been cleared!

House #23: Inspection

The buyer of The Horsey House had his inspection today… As I suspected, with the house only being 8 years old and us doing a nearly full cosmetic remodel, there were very few issues found. A missing light socket in the garage, a couple doors that don’t latch as easily as they should, a storm […]

House #23: First Contract

April 9, 2011

The Horsey House has been listed for about two weeks now, and while we’ve gotten some qualified potential buyers through the house, we haven’t gotten a tremendous amount of interest. I attribute this to several things: We listed the property a good bit higher than we realistically expect to receive, as we wanted to see […]

House #23: Budget Recap

March 28, 2011

As I mentioned a few days ago, The Horsey House renovation is complete and the property is listed for sale. In my original post about this house, I mentioned that rehab costs should probably come in below $15,000. I was off by a little bit on this one (see breakdown below), both because I forgot […]
