So, I got another list of 17 houses, and looked through them all. Picked out 9 that I found interesting, and when the time came, only 4 of them were actually available to show. The rest were already under contract or something. Yesterday we went out and looked at all 4 of them.
The first house we went to was Kylman. The house was built in 1995 and was on the market for $100k. In all it was too small and would require too much work to get it livable for the price they wanted.
The second house was Casco. A much older house, built in 1965 with an asking price of $75k. The yard and landscaping outside are horrible, but something that can easily be fixed. The house itself is in great condition, and the interior was recently redone. The photos don't do it much justice, but the house was nice. It was the first house my son gave a total thumbs up to.
The Third house was Teresa. Built in 1982, the asking price was $80k. The house was in good condition, hardwoods everywhere. Yard wasn't bad, but had a huge deck out back that totally needed to be replaced. Other than that, the rest of the place appeared to be in pristine shape.
Last, we visited Four Winds. It was built in 1980 and is on the market for $90k. One of the things that drew me to the house was that it had a pool and a hot tub. For the price you couldn't beat it. But after some research, I came to realize that owning a pool increases your monthly expenses way too much outside my comfort zone. The house itself was nice, lots of space and in decent condition, but the pool made money a concern.
I did decide to put an offer in on one of these houses, check back later for that info!
