Been looking for a house to buy that we can rent to the kids. All insanity aside, we really feel like this could be a good long term investment for us, and help the kids get on their feet again. I mean, as long as they are paying somebody rent, why not us?
So today we found a cute little house in Black Diamond, not too far away from us. It's in a small development where we had considered buying when they were new construction, several years ago. It's a small neighborhood of what I call matchstick houses - they are built townhouse style, but are individual homes. There are sidewalks winding between the cozy (ok, small) yards, and everyone gets a garage plus parking. When they were first being built, we could see that they were set up perfectly for a young family, and this one has three bedrooms with a bath and a half.
What set this one apart from the dozens we have looked at in the last several months is the price, condition and location. It's an amazing deal, even though it is a short sale. The price was already approved by the bank, so we're pretty sure that the offer will be approved. Then it's just a few weeks of cleaning, etc. and they can move in.
We'll sweep what happens!
