When M and I got together, he was looking at houses.
Together we began to look and we found this...
Cute, quaint 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house on .31acres with a separate "man cave"
Two years later, the kids are outgrowing the space and since we host Christmas each year for my husband's side of the family, I'd like more space...
So we decided to list our home...we had done a few updates so we were really hoping for some good equity to get us going on a new home, if we could find one that fit our needs/budget.
What did our new house need?
Well since I was taking my husband's mancave away from him, I had to give him a space of his own, he really didn't care what kind either.
Needs:
4-5 bedrooms, 2+/- bathrooms, at least 2,500 square feet, and at least 0.5 acre lot
ALL UNDER $200,000
HAHAHAHA - yeah right
We looked but there were always things missing or I didn't like the layout or it was cookie cutter.
Then one day, I was trolling Facebook and decided to hop over to marketplace to see if anyone ever posted houses on there....
WHAT IS THIS?
This house popped up on my search, no way!
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3,542SF, on 0.71acre
FOR $172,000
STOP!
There's no freaking way! Right? What's the catch you ask? Yeah...me too...so I contacted the seller, what gives? It's hollow? It's termite infested? It's haunted?
Haunted wouldn't bother us too much.
It has no appliances and no HVAC - easy right? Haha it's Texas. It's June.
Luckily M works for an HVAC company.
I'll introduce the new house next :)
Gotta keep you waiting a bit!
