Hmmmm..

Too good to be true?

I called and I'm waiting to hear back to see where this one is located.  Could be a fantastic deal....

So much for the houses

So, I didn't end up looking at the houses that I said I would. I spoke with my agent last night and he explained that the houses are on the extreme end of the term "fixer."  Apparently, two of them probably need over $100k in repairs (one of them having an almost condemned basement, another has bars on the windows and hasn't been updated since 1973). The last one is apparently quite loud due to being on the corner of 80th and so close to I-5.

<sigh>

I guess the search continues another day.

At it again. 3 new houses to look at

Going to look at these on Wednesday.
  1. mls / map
  2. mls / map
  3. mls / map
I'm told that the first two "need quite a bit of work." We'll see how bad they actually are.

First post

The obligatory first post. Most of my posts for now will probably be going to Lewis' blog, but I want to try and get in the habit of posting to here as well.  I'll be adding more updates to the EQuAL project, along with a bunch of other projects that I've been working on, like DataThief.

I also want to start posting about the tons of books I've been reading through lately, as well as the albums I've been listening to and the movies I've been watching.

Well, all in due time.
