Charles Honeycutt with Cheryl Honeycutt

A real estate agent we are acquainted with called and asked if we would be interested in purchasing a 2-year old house at a deep discount. rnThe agent explained the seller owned the house free and clear and was dealing with a cash flow issue. We used the FortuneBuilders Repair Estimator and also examined and photographed the property. We negotiated the purchase price to $390,000 with an estimated the ARV at $475,000, and closed the deal in 6 business days. rnWe were able to help the seller out of her situation and purchase a property that we estimated would require about $6,000.00 dollars in repairs and painting. rnAfter purchasing the property we were notified by the HOA that the previous owners had installed concrete pavers in the back yard without seeking authorization from the Architectural Control Committee and that we would be required to submit a request for approval or remove the pavers. We asked our neighbors if they were experiencing any drainage issues related to the pavers and one neighbor said that they were…possibly. rnWe immediately demolished and removed the pavers, replacing them with sod; which was the right thing to do. We listed the property with Keller Williams and, 11 days after signing our listing agreement (at 4%) we had a signed purchase contract and closed 14 days later, at $475,000.00.rn
