I just signed a purchase agreement with an investor to buy my old house. His offer was within $5k of what my agent has estimated i’d clear after fees/etc. at what he felt it would sell for in the area. Given it was going to take at least that much and a couple months to have it ready to sell, this was a no brainer.

Closing will be in 2-3 weeks and the only stipulation is his business partner has to look at the house and agree. They offered to pay lawyer fees if i used their lawyer, but I’m using my own to cover my ass.

So now i just have to empty the place, and hopefully soon i will have less stress and a bunch of free cash to upgrade the garage at the new place.

Fast close as not fucking around buttoning up neglected projects, within $5k of market value?

There are no- brainers, and then there are bigly no-brainers. Nice work.

Yeah. I suspect they think they can flip it for another 100k based on similar sized houses. But the layout is a bit odd and it is next door to the highway. So there isn’t as much there as they think. But I’m not going to correct them....

Sounds like a good deal.  So you’re going from 2 houses down to 1?

Our neighbors just sold their place. Open house was Sat, a cash buyer offered 10K over asking, and they closed the next week and are allowed to rent back for two months.

Can’t go any smoother than that.

Yes. Bought the new one with the intent of selling this one. Stumbled on the new one, so there was no chance for selling the old one first.
