Yay!!!! Its a twofer...a job and a place to live!


Well i didn't think it was actually going to happen so fast but i did it... i found a house to flip. (aka renovate and sell for profit) LINK to pics
Its a 3 bedroom 2 bath 1956 single story home (1972 sq ft) with an attached carport, detached garage and detached guest house with its own bath connected to the main house by a deck. Its just down the road from GPHS and really is the ugly house on the block, loads of potential, needs lots of hard work... build that sweat equity! i plan on doing almost all the work i can legally do myself, basically needs all new flooring (beautiful oak under the carpets), bathrooms are nasty so they need a lot of attention, kitchen overhaul and landscaping is nonexistent. I'm planning on 6 months and a budget of $50k.
current status... accepted 3rd counteroffer and am waiting for the title paperwork to enter escrow... closing date planned for feb. 8.
