Hi everyone, Thought I would drop in an tell you that I saw the house we will probably rent yesterday. I said my hubby was going to check it out, but I couldn't wait. We only got to see the outside though. It looks structurely sound from the outside. They are working on the roof where the tree hit is. I got to peek through a couple of windows and I can tell you the people who were/are living there sure didn't take care of it. Just what I could see we will probably not be paying rent for about a year, since she said she would take it off our rent any remodeling we did. I can tell you that all of the rooms are going to have to be painted. I saw what I thought was part of the kitchen and the flooring is torn pretty good. The covered front porch (something I have always wanted) has only got particle board for florring so that will have to be replaced. Also the outside is going to have to be painted. From what we have found out the owner thinks they have already moved into the house they bought, but their phone # is unlisted and they changed the locks on the doors. So she is trying to get up with them to get keys to let us look in the inside. I am afraid that if they have already moved out we are going to have a mess to clean out of there before we even start work on it.
We have also found a farmhouse in town that the owners usually rent out and it is not rented at the moment. They live out of state and my mother is trying to get in touch with them. It will not need quiet as much work, I don't think. So if this one is out of our price range I think we will go with the $400 dollar house and quit looking.
The Lord will provide.
