New House

Evergreen Dr

We bought this house the last day of May. We have been trying to get it since February. Wilmer saw it on foreclosure.com the day it came out. When he contacted the bank, they gave us the combo for the lockbox and said to feel free to go in and look around. So we did and we took a lot of other people to look too. It was a beautiful house. We had planned on trying to get the house to flip but when we looked around, we thought maybe we could keep it. It is a 4 bedroom house with 2.5 baths. The master bedroom is huge and has its own bathroom and walk-in closet. There is a formal dining room and formal living room, eat-in kitchen, family room with fireplace, first floor laundry room, HUGE full basement, and a back deck with a pool. Oh, and there is an in-law apartment. The house is gorgeous. If you click on the picture, you can see a lot of pictures before and after. Anyway, we started to negotiate with the bank and couldn't reach an agreement by the end of March so we told them we had to let it go cuz they wanted too much. We kept praying about it and in the beginning of May, the bank called us back to negotiate some more. They finally dropped to what we wanted and so we closed on it May 31, 2007. We began repairs right away and had our first open house to try to sell it on July 1. We have been going back and forth about whether to keep it or sell it. We have the potential to make enough money on it to get ourselves out of debt and breathe a little easier as far as bills. At this point we believe God is leading to try to sell. We are still open to move in but we have both reached the point where if we have to stay in our little house for a while longer, it will be ok. Eventually we will find the right house to move in. Anyway, when this sells, it will be our 2nd flip so that is exciting for us and especially for Wilmer, who is dying to get away from the call center!
