House Update

Ok, I know you all are wondering if we got the house or what? Well, long story short is we ended up not putting an offer on it.

Reasons?
Adam's real estate partner is truly a real estate guru and flips houses all the time. He went over there with Adam this morning and looked at it and said he liked the house, but some of the craftsman ship looked a bit sloppy, you could tell they used cheap siding, etc. Next Reason, there was a contract prior to ours that fell through because of foundation issues. And Lastly, we would need to build a garage and if we did this- I am not sure how much of an investment it would be towards the house because it is already one of the nicest ones on the block and it might not make the house value go up that much because it is an Englewood, CO address and not a Denver, CO address.

So, with this being said.... I am a little bummed (especially because I found out the park it is buy has a par-3, nine hole course that is only $6 to play and an outdoor swimming pool). We are going to look at one more for a second time today - that is in an amazing location, but the house is a piece of work. I am all for a renovation myself, but can't decide if the way this house is built could be what I would want even with a renovation (and it is at the top of the price range) because it is long a narrow.

Toodles!
