Bill
Well almost a week's gone by. I found this cute home in Jupiter, FL. It is almost 1300 SF, 3 beds, 2 full bath, on a small but adequate lot well off the main road for under $100K ! I offered their asking price, but they came back with a request that I cough up $10K as a deposit/security payment before they even approved or accepted my offer. I told them to pound sand and I am still looking. I think I'd prefer Jupiter now, as all the properties I've seen in WPB area are all 40 to 60 years old and need a LOT of updating. On top of that the owners and/or banks are asking way too much for these old dumps. I am starting to lose interest in this area. Maybe I should look on the west coast!? Then, to really make my day, I get a bill from my attorney (who told me it would cost me only $650 from offer to settlement, for another $171.15 ! Have I mentioned that attorneys are worse than sewer rats...
