Getting Out of My Comfort Zone

Lately I have had an issue with finding properties that piqued my interest. Then I found one listed on the MLS and went to drive by it.

When I showed up to the property, I saw someone doing some landscaping work. I got out of my car, walked up and asked if he was the owner. He was not, but let me know the owner was in the backyard. I then met the owner, he let me walk through the house with no appointment and answered all my questions.

I submitted a over listing price offer today and decided against attaching an inspection contingency. I am hoping it makes my offer more attractive in a highly competitive real estate market.

Even if I don’t get my offer accepted, I made moves which got out of my comfort zone. Improving myself every day!

What could you do to get out of your comfort zone?

Just providing an update to everyone on this, my offer was accepted at $96k for a 2-unit, 2BR/1BA per unit in Buffalo, NY.  I am moving forward with the process and I will be closing in June on my first house hack!
