My first missed deal :(
I was at my girlfriends father's house a few months back, and the house across the street from him was for FSBO. We chatted about it and he knew the owner. He said the owner was asking $103k, but would take less. It is in a C neighborhood, not necessarily where he sees his daughter living, thus he talked us out of showing interest (I didn't make it clear enough that we wouldn't be there long term I suppose).
Long story short, I am there again tonight and there is a realtor's sign out front. I mentioned it to him and he said he only saw them working on the landscaping/paining the front of the house. I come home and look up the property, and it's listed for over $200k!!!
While it is frustrating that I missed the opportunity, at least I know that my head is in the right place! On to the next one...
