Where's the wrench??????????

Easy! First ship her to Orleans Indiana. I will forward the package....... maybe!

Is she trying to get it all set up for you to buy and live in??? 2 car garage with doors would be nice this time of year after all.

I'll make a post about it in a few day's or a week.... I didn't mean to steal Keith's thread...

Aint my post bro... It's FM's post... I'm just hangin out here! How about a giant FORD oval on it's side...vertical like.

you guy's should see the rest of the place... yeesh-

We have decided to make an offer. I am going to offer $148K for it as is. They HAD it sold a few months ago but the buyers backed out at the last second...

This place was bought in 1984 for $35K, they mortgaged it for $50K to build a garage, then again later then again later for this and that... They now Owe 120K and are paying mortgage on this place and on their new home they moved into in January of this year. So they gotta get out from under this house...
Maybe I'll get it. If I do there's nobody in the whole world that will be able to call me el cheapo again, It will be KING/EMPEROR/PATRIARCH of CHEAP from then on out!

I've been practicing my whole life for the moment when I make the largest purchase I will ever make.

I will Gentile them I will Jew them and I will Hebrew them until they cave in and simply have no choice but to give in... I hope....

Good luck bro.... then you can still have enough money to go to Depot and pick some "oops paint" to fix the green walls for $5 a gallon and some carpet remnants for the pink carpet!!!!

good luck FE- sounds like your in a good position if they want to get out from under it...

we dumped our old house about 2 yrs ago(lucky we did when we did) and about gave it away...several realtors said list for 110, we listed for 99, got one offer...90 but we paid everything including the down payment, think all said and done it was like 76- sucked as I'd paid 40 23 yrs earlier, and put 30-40 in it, plus thousands of man hours over the years... but it was just a extra expense with taxes/keeping it heated so it wouldnt fall apart over the winter, and worries about someone breakin in tearin it up or whatnot, so we just said whatever and let it go...man I loved that house too...had offered it to a buddy to rent just for taxes, but he didnt want to move, wouldnt really trust anyone else to rent to, etc...

however had we kept it another year:
1) we wouldnt have been able to give it away as the market really dropped
2) we woulda rented it cheap to my buddy that ended up needing a place...
really sucked as we ended up buyin another place to rent to him at cost to
try to help him out, but got ourselves in pretty deep right before everything
really took a dump... if we'd have to sell that one we'd take one heck of a
hit today...hope he stays a couple years at least that place was 100,
appraised for 140, figured couldnt lose, but after the fall its worth like 80
now...market sucks, but it should come back up- if for no other reason than
inflation has GOT to be coming hard and fast the way they are printing
money out of thin air...

bad time to sell a house still, but far better time to buy than a year ago.

anyways lots of folks in the same boat right now needing to get out from under whatever, so its still a buyers market- maybe more than ever. Good Luck- if they aint had many offers, you might be able to even suprise yourself with the negotiations
