House #7: First Offer

March 12, 2009

We received our first offer on The Roach Duplex today…and rejected it… We listed the property on the MLS last week, and in that time have gotten quite a few calls. Many — I believe — are from potential owner-occupants who are scared off when they see the condition of the property (it needs about […]
