FarmerJamie - A new beginning

Always another one somewhere! Keep looking...it will happen.

Interesting, seeing some prices starting to drop. More auctions, though.

Wife noticed that in some poorer Cleveland suburbs where house flipping was happening the past 18 months, the homes are now being sold "as is" in various states of renovation.

more people going back to work so no more time to play around?

Motivation has been low the last week. A little sore from hiking, but have some sort of head cold going on. The wife has been worn down fighting a fever. Thankfully nothing has moved to either of our lungs, so her treatments might just be working.

I really need to get jerky made this week, but the thought of dragging everything out has me tired already.

And absolutely nothing for sale worth buying home wise. Lolol. Last new listing had photos of the basement with a broken support post, standing water, and mold. What the actual heck. Lol

OH dang - hope you both feel better! I'm sure your motivation will return when you feel better.

It's gotta be discouraging to be ready to buy and not find a home worth buying.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

That's beautiful! We don't got nuttin' like that around here, lol!

Wow, the wife pulled up a property listing that was posted at 8:00 am on Thursday. By 11:15 there was a contingent offer on it. It was not deal by any means. Something smells fishy

That's crazy!!

So the property wackiness continues. I commented previously on properties going to auction instead of the traditional realtor route.

Newest twist. Property auctions are now two phase in some instances. First, the property is sold without mineral rights..then immediately after that, the mineral rights are auctioned off. This is happening more and more down in the area with a lot of potential fracking. .

That’s insane! I never would have thought of that being an issue (because that isn’t a thing here), but that could cause major trouble down the road. That’s just horrid. Ugh.

To clarify, the new purchaser has two choices, since the seller gets the proceeds. Either join in the insane mineral rights bidding, or take the chance of the property being used without their approval down the road.
