Hick and The Pony and I are still looking for another flip house. We saw one a couple days ago for the low, low price of $18,500. Hick knows how to work on houses, and has a helper who works for cheap. So he drove by to take a look.
This will NOT be our next project!
I was skeptical when I saw that there were 11 pictures, but none of the interior.
"It might be a hoarder house. Or it might be trashed. There's a reason why they only show the exterior. And IT'S not that great! Cracks in the foundation and porch. Looks rough."
Still, Hick took a drive by there on his way home from his SUS2 (Storage Unit Store 2) on Sunday.
"I don't think that house is worth it. All the windows are broken. And there's a cat living in the attic! It came out onto the roof while I was looking."
Yeah. We'll pass on that one. Hick is kicking himself for not going to look at the previous house The Pony and I urged him to check out. It's PENDING. Hick says there's still a FOR SALE sign in the yard, and that he's going to ask his realtor to check on its status. Don't cost nothin' for her to make a call.
If the cat house price were lower, would he consider it?
ReplyDeleteNo. It's a money pit. Too much for materials and labor to make a good profit on resale.
DeleteMoney pits are never worth all the trouble and materials. They're better off demolished with a new home being built on a new foundation, which makes them too expensive for a flip and quick sale.
ReplyDeleteYes. It's good that the Beauty Shop was small, with basically a good structure. Hick gutted it, replaced part of the floor, and threw on a new roof. Then he made the insides new. That was better than leaving it as a shed, or turning it into a garage.
