Snowed In and Still Buying Houses.
WTF is with all the snow in Maryland this year? I know, I know -- talking about the weather is like the lowest form of conversation, but I’ll be damned if this snow isn’t killing my rehab business BUT I’m still buying bank owned houses (how’s that for a killer run-on sentence). I have four houses ready to go on the market, all but for a tiny bit of remaining exterior work. Lemme’ tell ya, 40 inches of snow can sure put a damper on “exterior” work.
So what do you do when you can’t work on completing your rehabs? BUY, BUY, BUY. So here’s a week-end round up of all-things-SNOWPOCALYPSE!
Over the week I put the finishing touches on a purchase of an REO in District Heights about 2 blocks away from a house we’re rehabbing now, as well as a purchase of a really nice bank-owned home in Rosedale, MD. I’m pretty sure these two represent purchases 11 and 12 for the year (beginning November 2009).
Not bad! Just goes to show ya, there are no excuses! I’m snowed in under 2 blizzards, and I still managed to buy 2 sweet deals. And since many of you have asked; when I say, “sweet deal,” I generally mean a crap-pile of NET profit (in each deal).
Back to the snow. I’ve put together a couple videos and some of my favorite pictures over the past week or two. Have you seen the Baltimore weatherman going ape-$hIt while giving his forecast -- you MUST see this video below. Next; check out the Letterman video. I’m not a huge fan of Letterman (he’s just not as funny as he was in the 90’s) -- but I liked the video below because it shows precisely how their is no originality in the news media. Friggin’ lemmings.
I promise, we’ll get back to FLIPPING HOUSES next week!
