I'm meeting with the lady tomorrow, getting all of her info for the short-sale package, and getting a contract signed.

A friend of mine told me, that a lady told him that there is a website thats geared specifically to advertise your rehab houses,meaning selling houses that are fixer uppers.

Went really well the lady at the JP office pointed a few things I missed on the form out.

I found a 2/1 in a very nice neighborhood and I negotiated the price with a lady whose husband had rentals.

"She is a very pretty young lady.."

the unfortunate luck of posting an intro at the same time as a pretty lady, but I walk against the herd.

This lady and her family lived next door to me for the last 15-20 years.

All told our mortgage, tax, and insurance payments come out to about $750 and if all units were rented out we would pull about $2000 a month.As it stands now we have one unit rented and our roommate pays us $300 a month, so we still cover the mortgage even with 50% occupancy.The house definitely needed some TLC when we closed.It was pretty much trashed, but the previous owners left a consolation prize of steaks and a case of beer in the fridge.The cleaning was a process by itself that included the excavation of about 3000 lady bug carcasses.We also gave the house a fresh coat of interior pain, re-plastered the ceilings, ripped out the old carpet and revived the original hardwood floors, fixed the roof, installed fans and a washer dryer set, and replaced several broken window panes.

The old lady may get ticked if she thinks she is trusted to sell, so tread lightly.

@Jesse T. has a good suggestion on the extension too.I have a doc prep guy that I used to use but last year I had my assistant type up a template for exactly what he was doing and now I just provide that to my title lady.
