3. The House
Trying to Understand what it is we might want to buy
Thanks to some aggressive price drops we're now investigating this blurry picture house. It's listed as a 3 Bedroom - 2 Bath / 2 Car Garage around 1700 sq ft. The good news is, I'm trained to dig in and find the details of houses for sale. I hit the MLS and start digging to find absolutely nothing.
The MLS only shows information on houses that have been sold through the system, and this one hasn't ever been sold before. Everywhere I searched I came up with very little information. The listing says it's a 3/2 and we can see a two car garage but that's about it. Looking at the house on Google Earth Pro I measured the layout and it's well over the listed 1700 something sq ft - more in the 3000' range.
We finally drove by the house to get a look. Here's the other wrinkle on this - it's a foreclosure, and we can't look inside the house or bother the occupants. On the plus side, the house looked to be in great shape, it has a large shop with it and a really big lot. Ok, we're really interested now. By the way did I mention it's in a great are that I didn't even know existed!
So, here we go. Let's see if we can get this house.
