Hola Blogosphere!
How’s Everyone’s week going so far?
Things are off to a great start here (minus the weather). Brrrrrrrrrrrr.
It looks like I may be putting another deal together with one of my wholesaling compadres. This particular property hit the market at the end of last week at a ridiculously low price. I thought about making an offer on it, since one of my new buyers is looking for deals in this neighborhood. I sold her a similar property towards the end of last year, and she just called me a few days ago asking if I had anything else.
So, anyway, I thought about making an offer on the property until I saw who the listing agent was. I’m sure I’ve probably mentioned this before, but a good majority of the REO agents around these parts are in bed with some of the wholesalers (not literally, that I know of), and this particular agent is in bed with one of my wholesaler buddies, so I didn’t even bother to make an offer on it, because I don’t like wasting my time.
Anywho, my buddy who is in bed with the listing agent knows that I have buyers in the neighborhood where this particular house is located, so he called me yesterday to tell me he’s getting the deal and to ask if I have someone for it. The contract price with the bank is 22k, and I think I can get 30k-ish from my buyer, so we’ll see. I’ll call her first thing in the morning and have her check it out.
I’ve also got one other buyer who is always looking for properties in this neighborhood, but I hate dealing with him because he is a cheap bastard. I seriously could call him up tomorrow and tell him I am selling a 4/2 2000 sf home that was built in 2009, needs no work, and is worth 200k, and offer it to him for five dollars, and he would try to get it for $3 with me paying all closing costs. He drives me up the freaking wall. I have learned to jack my prices up between 8-10k when I bring him a deal because he LOVES to beat me up on price.
So anyway, I’m pretty sure I can get one of those two to take it, even though it is a piece of crap property in the hood.
It’s all good in the hood, ya know?
Ima sell me a house in the hood. Teehee.
In other, non-real estate related-news…… check out what my Mom got for me:
PINK POTS AND PANS!!!!
Aren’t they the cutest things you’ve ever seen in your entire life? This is actually the very first set of pots and pans I’ve ever owned in my 30 some years of life on this planet. I feel all grown up now. (THANKS MOM! XOXO)
I’d like to say that my first attempt at cooking in them was a great success, but then I would be lying. This is the recipe I tried, which, thankfully didn’t turn out as bad as the Great Scallop Disaster of 2010, but was nothing to write home about either. I’d give it 3.5 stars out of 10. It photographed well, though, which is almost as important….
Looks just like the picture in the recipe, doesn’t it? Too bad it tasted like spicy cardboard (I went a little overboard with the crushed red pepper again).
Alrighty then folks, that’s about all I’ve got for now. Hope you all have a great week!
10-4, Over and out.
P.S.
I had no reason for naming my post what I did, other than the fact that I have had that song stuck in my head ALL DAY, and I was hoping you all would join me in my misery. You’re welcome.
P.P.S.
