Cold walking? Weird conversation

[Bill Ward]

So today's the first day I got into my rental after the tenants moved out. Starting to assess what work I need to do and removing trash. As I'm carrying trash out the front door, a man walking a dog on the street asks for me by name. I said yeah that's me and he asks if I'm buying or selling. I said I'm selling or renting. He introduced himself and said he owned several homes in the area. He asked how much I was going to sell for and I said $190k, and then asked if I financed it or had the deed and if it was a VA loan. He asked how much for rent and I said $1500. He said that's pretty steep, (having no need to debate or care to argue) I said well then you don't have to rent it. Meanwhile, my father was with me inside the house and I'm trying to get stuff done. Then he asks if I have a minute can he come inside and talk to me. I said no. He didn't like that and seemed confused. I said no, you can call me later if you want. He then said I didn't have a great attitude and walked away.

He knew my name and my occupation, guessing he did some kind of research. Was this him trying to get info to buy my house and rent it out? Just seemed odd, and to randomly walk up to me and invite himself in.

Anyways, that's my day. Pretty sure the center of the house is sagging and I need to get some supports added after raising some joists. No idea what I'll get charged for that.
