The line-up

I thought that y'all would be interested in seeing all of the homes that we've put in offers for. As you can see, our initial goal of buying a fixer-upper investment property has slowly deteriorated.

Number one: Ugliest house on beautiful street in impeccable neighborhood. We low balled and lost. Scary looking, huh?




Number two: Largest one out of the four. Quite livable. Same great neighborhood as above. We got beat out by a higher bidder who later backed out due to numerous repairs. We chose not to resubmit another offer.




Number three: Great potential to increase square footage and curb appeal. Super cute interior. Big price reduction. Same great neighborhood as 1 and 2. Offer accepted but inspection revealed 25K in repairs. Seller unwilling to negotiate. We walked.



Number four (and hopefully the last): the quintessential Austin craftsman bungalow with almost 1/4 acre lot, amazing landscaping, 1.5 car garage. In a "more desirable" neighborhood than 1-3 although I may disagree. Pending inspection. If this falls though, we may go for the teal one in the prior post.
