Offer accepted!!!!

This is my first attempt at blogging, so bear with me a few days until I get this all figured out...

Last Tuesday I got a phone call from Chris. I was on my way up to Keystone, but I took his call anyway. He found a new opportunity, so I made a U-turn and went to see the place. It was perfect: fairly good shape, but very dated; a nice neighborhood; a decent price; and the potential for some profit. I made an offer that afternoon, and it was accepted.

Thursday the house inspector, the roof inspector and the sewer inspector came by and gave the house a decent bill of health. A few problems which are not show-stoppers, and lots of little things. Oh, and a leak staining the ceiling in the master bedroom closet.

Frank the handyman came by on Friday (at 6 AM) to examine the leak. He thinks it's due to the swamp cooler not being installed properly and allowing rain to get in. That's easy to fix, so I'm not concerned.

Got a call from Merchant's Mortgage, the loan is a go. We close on Wednesday the 28th. I'm excited, and nervous at the same time.

The gameplan is to put the house back on the market around June first.
