Like most places, the residential real estate market is moving really fast in our area. Yesterday, we jumped in at lightning speed!
My wife saw a snazzy townhouse in our neighborhood she thought would be nice for our adult son. We talked about it with him on Sunday morning just before 11a, connected with our friendly neighborhood agent 5 minutes later, scheduled/did a quick showing, immediately made an offer, and had a verbal acceptance by 2p.
Just three hours start to finish!
It was the last thing I expected to do this weekend, but everything worked out in the most charmed way possible. We were one of a few bids, but won the day nonetheless.
We'll buy it as a rental investment with our 24 year-old son as our new tenant & neighbor. The townhouse is just a 14 minute walking path trip from our house. Our little pupper, Riley, will love the short walk over to see his favorite 'Uncle'.
I've been interested in diversifying into rentals, so we'll now have a first-hand view of how it works. With a minimum of risk.
Sometimes the things you do on a lark payoff big … sometimes not. Regardless, helping our son get set up in a nice place - and having him for a neighbor - feels like a win from the very start!
