The History

Ever since Charlotte and I moved to North Carolina we have been on the look out for the perfect home. Something we can grow into, something with some land, something we can work on...and something we can afford. We have often looked at fixer-upper type real estate listings but always found that they were in places that we wouldn’t feel comfortable living.

So while we were renting at our second location in Cary, NC, we noticed the house next door was vacant. It was a large home, overgrown, and in some disrepair. Charlotte became quite the detective and found out the story and background on the home. The man who owned it had built a second home and traveled much with his occupation. After we had done quite a few walk arounds, Charlotte then suggested that we write this man a letter and make an offer on the home to buy it "as is" for a discounted price.

Long story short, we found a mutually beneficial arrangement with the owner and we moved in near the beginning of October. We expect our loan to close soon, and we will be the proud owners of our first home.
