wordless wednesday!

a home?

So roughly months ago I called my landlord to ask if he was interested in selling me the house. He was very rude and essentially hung up on me after saying he had to think about it. After 5 days I tried to call. He told me that he had talked to his accountant and was informed that he is unable to sell any more houses due to tax purposes. Ass.

About 3 weeks ago I had to call our landlord since our furnace wasn’t working and we were going to freeze, he then says hey remember how you wanted to buy the house.

We all know this cannot be good now. He tells me about how he met with one of the oil companies and they want to buy all his houses and use them for their workers. He tells me that he is giving his renters first chances to buy their homes before selling them.  He then tells me he is going to take the tax value and add 10 percent, since he doesn’t need the money he is going to give everyone a deal….. HAHAHA

Let me tell you about the tax appraisal that happened 2 years ago. Some company came through and apprised the entire town….. drastically high. The tax appraisal on our house is 35,000 and the realtor said it’s only worth 5000.

Today I mailed a formal offer letter of 10,000. We will see what happens from here I guess. It will need at least another 5,000 worth of work to make it livable to be able to rent it out after about a year and be able to make anything on this house as an investment.
