FarmerJamie - A new beginning

[FarmerJamie]

The eviction moratorium has been lifted. I think a lot of repo’s will be hitting the market in the next 2 years. Our place was a HUD repo, we got it about $35,000 below market at that time.

I look at Zillow, prices have been hiked up $100,000 since last or two years ago. If it didn’t sell, they take it off the market for awhile, then Jack the price up. It’s insane.

Be patient, be ready to bid on a property and be ready to jump on it quickly.

The good news is that building materials futures are dropping. Still a bit high, but coming down. The wife is mesmerized by barndominiums

Years ago we built a log cabin but, used cedar as we have powder post beetles here. It was lovely but. Required a lot of outside work to keep it looking good. One of the reasons that farm was sold before DHs passing.

The posted photos were taken using a fish eye lens, greatly distorting how small the rooms really were.

Ugh. That's just not nice. Next!

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.

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
