The Phone Goes Silent

Hick has not heard back from Random Guy about the Double Hovel. Not since Saturday, when Hick rejected the first offer for less than we originally paid, and the second offer which was less than what we have in it after initial renovations. No tears are being shed at this juncture.

The Pony found a house in his neighborhood that would make a good flip. Just in case we would surprisingly get our asking price on the Double Hovel. It had only been listed for 1 day, and is on a street close to the post office. A main street, with lots of traffic. Hick said the Double Hovel is in a better location. 

Anyhoo... it's good to have a backup plan. I don't particularly want to part with the Double Hovel until it is finished. Like Dan Fogelberg says, "Changing houses faces in the middle of a dream gets you old." We can't afford to get much older!

Hick agrees that our two houses will be easier to sell than one, from the standpoint of people wanting to generate income to help make their payments. So I'm pretty sure he's not going to lobby to sell the Double Hovel at cost, and take that money to put into this new find.

When Hick and The Pony looked up this new house over Father's Day lunch, Hick said that Random Guy is probably making an offer on it. He would have found it as easily as The Pony if he was looking up properties online. No skin off our bulbous proboscises! It's not like we were stalking Random Guy, begging for a buyer.

Life continues as normal for Thevictorians.
