House #42: Final Analysis

May 6, 2013

We closed on the sale of The WI-2 House last week… We originally anticipated a resale value of about $235K, but as we were working on the project, our agent kept revising that number upwards. Ultimately, we listed it for $264,900 and within 7 days, received an offer for $268,000. We made a nice profit […]

House #42: Budget Recap

May 3, 2013

The WI-2 House is getting sold today, and it wasn’t until this morning that I wrote my (hopefully) final check.

House #42: First Contract

April 8, 2013

After just 5 days on the market, we received our first offer and now have The WI-2 House under contract… The offer was over asking price, very clean with few concessions.

Water Water Nowhere

February 5, 2013

Just a follow-up to my post from last week about the water issues we’ve been having at several houses… I thought the The WI-1 House was fixed, but then during the buyer’s inspection last week, the inspector saw water in the corner of the basement again. It turns out that my roofer only did half […]

Water Water Everywhere

January 30, 2013

We’ve had several issues with water at our properties in the past week or so… First, The WI-1 House was seeing some water intrusion into one of the corners of the basement. Since we had just excavated and braced that wall — along with completely finishing the space — we were a bit worried. Ultimately, […]

We closed on the purchase of The WI-2 House yesterday and I’m spending much of today meeting with contractors to determine exactly what renovations we’re going to do and getting bids on the work… Right now, it appears that we’ll be doing some major reconfiguration of the kitchen and breezeway areas (I’ll post some drawings […]
