FIrst House

Dave and I have begun to be curious about what is out there in all areas of town for homes. We want to buy one that needs work so that we can fix it up and resell it. Make a profit and build our own.

Yesturday Dave and I got to go and see our first house.

Ya, not a beauty, thats for sure but can you see the potential? We most certainly wouldnt buy it for what they are asking. It smelled of mold and it was so bad that Dave and I actually left with a headache. The entire house would need to be gutted along with removing the back half and building a new two story addition and garage.

Its on 1.3 acres which is a nice lot so the potential is there. I can imagine a tree lined laneway
and a white picket fence alone the road and otherside

A wrap around proch on the front and black shutters on all the windows

Its fun looking and dreaming. Currently this house has a crumbling bit of foundation on the inside (part of which would be removed) and a basement with 4 inches of water in it. Not sounding so great but, with Daves amazing work (sorry to boast) it would become something beautiful. For the right price and if an inspection shows nothing more serious than what we have already seen, we just might possess this pathetic looking building. Currently, it doesnt look like it will happen since the resale in the area isnt quite as high as we would like, but who knows?

We might get to go and see another house soon. If so, I'll be sure to let you know about it.
