So if the bank is to accept offer or not, was it a foreclosure? If so, being that I work at a bank, I know we don't like to sit on assets. You should have a good shot if the offer was good.

**JET** · 09-30-2007

A short sale is basically pre-forclosure. The bank bought it at auction, but the owner has 6 months to try and sell it for more money. The seller accepted the offer, so it goes to the bank. I am pretty sure they will take it.

Nice place to live. It has a good stripe of stores on the main road and lot's of woods behind it. It's pretty quiet once you get into the woods area.

Very Nice! Gotta love movin up north! More for your money up here!
Kev and I did a short sale on a 2003 built 5 bedroom/2bath on 2.5 acres. Man its nice to have so much equity to walk in to!

Congrats! have fun with the move!

**JET** · 10-03-2007

We are looking forward to it! We should find out in a week or so if we get it for sure.

**Halon** · 10-03-2007

Another week? Sounds like you have plenty of time to make the cruise then

My sisters been waiting for around three weeks for the bank to reply on a quick sale they put an offer in on. Be prepaired to wait.

**JET** · 10-03-2007

Yeah, been waiting 1 1/2 weeks now and it was supposed to take 2-3 weeks the bank said.

Brandon, I am working on the current house to get it up for sale ASAP. I just finished the crown molding in the living room tonight, it looks sweet! I also finished up painting it (light tan with white crown). I'll post some pic's in the home improvement thread once the furniture gets moved back. I will put some up of the kitchen too. The bathroom comes next, marble floor, new tile shower surround, new fixtures all around and fill in a hole in the wall from a medicine cabinet. Yee haa! After that paint 3 more rooms, then hardwood floors in the whole upstairs.

Well the one listed above fell through. The bank ended up being Wells Fargo and they won't take less than what was listed in a short sale situation, it has to go into full forclosure. In the mean time we found a house WAY nicer!

That is an oversized 3 car garage that you can see, and in the back.... an entrance for another shop that is under the main garage! We put an offer in on it Wed and we should hear back Mon or Tues as to what is going on. We are pumped! The house was built in 2003 and it is big. 2440 sqft finished right now, with another 1450 in the basement that is not finished. Lot is a bit over 2 acres with a 720 sqft accessory building allowed. Never make an offer on a house over a holiday, the suspense is killing us!

TkrPerformance · 11-23-2007

that looks realy nice

**Halon** · 11-23-2007

Awesome! So I'm confused, what about that house you did all the tile work on? Which house was that?

**JET** · 11-23-2007

That is the house I have now, which we will be selling to move to the new one. The house I am doing all the work to is the one in Fridley.

**Kracka** · 11-23-2007

That house looks great! Does it need anything besides a driveway?

**JET** · 11-23-2007

It is in full foreclosure, it needs a driveway, appliances and some TLC inside. The house has never officially been occupied since it was built. There isn't any A/C installed yet either. The front yard needs a bit of landscaping, but the back is great. The lower level has in floor heat for the house and the shop, although the shop needs part of the floor poured yet. It is on a cul de sac too. I'll pop up a few pics tomorrow once my dad sends them to me.

tim · 11-23-2007

Looks very nice. Hopefully within the next year I will be able to do some house shopping.

**JET** · 11-23-2007

OH HELL YEAH!!!

We just heard from the realtor, it sounds like we got it! They are making a few small changes to our offer, but the rest is good to go. It is on the south side of ham lake, only about a mile N of Blaine and just off Lexington. Easy to get from off of 35W.

NIce! Congrats! Hope everything works out for you! It looks like a nice place!

**JET** · 11-24-2007

Alright, here are some more pic's of the new place! Just click on any pic to blow it up full size.

It needs a little TLC, but isn't bad. It was built in 2003. If you blow up any pic's, do the last one and the kitchen shot. The lot is just over 2 acres.

Scrmegl · 11-25-2007

Looks like a great find and a great lot!

x-pride · 11-25-2007

That is awsome Jet. Any plans on a DSM house warming party?
