THIS HOME IS NOT IN THE SHORES, ALTHOUGH IT IS ACROSS HWY. 66 FROM THE SHORES; WE HAVE N O HOA FEES!! THE SHORES HAS VERY STRICT OUTSIDE HOUSING CODES AND COSTS MORE TO LIVE IN....AND YET OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS JUST AS NICE -- AND HAS LARGER LOTS FOR THE MOST PART, WHICH YOU CAN SEE WHEN YOU RIDE THROUGH OUR AREA!!
PLEASE NOTE: I PURCHASED THIS HOME IN 2006, AS AN INVESTMENT...TO FLIP FOR A PROFIT... BUT AS A RESULT OF THE PAST 2 YEAR DOWNSLIDE IN THE HOUSING MARKET, I'VE SPENT MORE THAN WHAT WILL ALLOW ME TO GET ANY PROFIT ON THIS PROPERTY!! HAVING TO PAY THE TAXES FOR OVER 3 YEARS HAS ALSO GREATLY INCREASED SPENDING COSTS THAT MUCH MORE.
AT MY LOWER LISTING PRICE, I'M WAY, WAY BELOW EVEN COMING CLOSE TO BREAKING EVEN ON THIS HOUSE.
THIS HOME WAS APPRAISED AT $250,000 JUST BEFORE I PURCHASED IT IN 2006 -- OUT OF DATE AND WITH SOME MINOR REPAIRS NEEDED! I'VE TAKEN THE HOUSE WAY OVER THAT APPRAISED VALUE SINCE...WAY MORE THAN WHAT THE CURRENT MARKET DICTATES...WITH OVER $120,000 SPENT IN UPDATING AND UPGRADES!
If you think this home might be the right one for you, please give me a call or e-mail me. I'll be glad to arrange a showing. I am paying a realtor to ASSIST WITH this sale for me, so my new discounted price will not go any lower if you require more realtors to get involved in the negotiations. WITH A PRICE THIS LOW, THERE IS MUCH LESS ROOM FOR FURTHER PRICE REDUCTION...UNLESS ONLY ONE REALTOR (mine) IS PAID A COMMISSION!
There is actually NO NEED FOR ANY REALTOR TO ASSIST IN A SALE OR CLOSING, AS THE TITLE CO. I'VE USED BEFORE CAN HELP WITH ALL PAPER WORK; BUT I KNOW MANY PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO BARGAIN DIRECTLY WITH A SELLER...SO I HAVE A REAL ESTATE EXPERT ASSISTING ME; HOWEVER, I know more about this home than anyone else, and I like being here to answer any questions that might come up; so I will be close by at the time of showings, to be on hand to prevent any unanswered questions.
R E A L T O R S: I WILL PAY A 3% COMMISSION TO ANY REALTOR WHO MIGHT BRING ME A SALE! BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME ONE DAY IN ADVANCE TO SHOW, UNLESS YOUR CLIENT HAS PREVIEWED MY AD AND HAS PROOF OF FINANCING IN PLACE AT SHOWING!!
NO RENTORS!!
THIS HOME IS FOR SALE, BY CASH, BANK FINANCING, PARTIAL INVESTMENT HOUSE TRADE, OR... OWNER FINANCING/LEASE-TO-OWN MAY BE CONSIDERED --- BUT ONLY WITH A LARGE DOWN PAYMENT, AND NO BAD CREDIT OR JOB HISTORY!
E-MAIL ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING UNMENTIONED ISSUES!!!!
APPOINTMENTS MUST BE SCHEDULED AT LEAST ONE DAY IN ADVANCE, as there is no guarantee of a same-day showing on demand.
Thank you for looking.
