Houses #44 / 47: Under Contract

March 9, 2013

We “listed” three houses for sale last week: The Retail House, The Divorce House and The Power House. When I say “listed,” we actually just mailed a flyer to a bunch of agents we know who represent large-scale cash investors and hedge funds who buy in Atlanta. Over the next couple days, we received a […]

We closed on the sale of The WI-1 House today… My partner and I are in Milwaukee this week working on some other projects, but were excited about meeting the buyer and getting this one closed. Turned out the buyer ended up being a complete ass, and spent the last few days prior to closing […]

House #39: Lots of Offers!

February 20, 2013

We finished the rehab on The Rent-Back House last week, and listed it for sale last Wednesday… As of yesterday morning, we had about 15 offers, from both cash buyers (investors) and owner occupants.

House #46: The WI-4 House

February 17, 2013

Just a couple days after getting our 3rd Milwaukee house under contract, we just got our 4th… This one is not too far from our first two Milwaukee houses and is an estate sale that’s already practically move-in ready. We’re purchasing it for $200,000 and hoping that a basic cosmetic upgrade (about $25,000 worth of […]

House #45: The WI-3 House

February 14, 2013

We got our third house in Wisconsin under contract to purchase this week… Apparently, there were 8 contracts before ours, all of which fell through. I guess most investors don’t like major structural issues. While my partner and I haven’t actually seen the house yet, our agent in Milwaukee gave us a good rundown of […]
