It Can Happen, Anytime.

Two weeks ago we were bid out on an investment. The day of closing the deal did not go through for the other party. Although there were better offers on the table, we could close quick and they called us to close for our offer $20,000 less than competing offers. What an amazing deal. As I stated before, 50% of the time those deals go through. Always be the back up.

Since then I found a property with foundation problems for $99,000. What a deal right? But here we are two weeks later and it is still sitting on the market as investor after investor cannot seem to justify the price with the major foundation issues. Remember, I am not interested in what a property is but what it can be.
This property can actually be split into 3 lots and 3 townhomes built on the property. This property is not getting justice. I would take 20 minutes to have a preliminary plan approved and market it has a possible 3 unit development for $135,000. Would you rather have one junky house for $100k or a possible unit for $45,000 a door?
