Re: Real Estate - Can we talk short-sales?
 

Thanks for all the advice guys - our offer goes in TODAY so cross your fingers and toes for us.

Well it's been a wild ride but our offer was accepted! Last week acutally. Our real estate agent, mortgage rep and insurance rep are all basically saying this is the fastest short sale they have ever seen.

Anyway we had a very good home inspection last week, overwhelmingly positive with only some very minor issues, nothing we can't handle so along we march to closing.

Thanks again for all the info guys!

Wow, that is some property. There are some great elegant spaces in your property mostly. Well done! Exterior looks great too. Any off street parking or green space?

Re: Real Estate - Can we talk short-sales?
 

No off street but not needed (yet), maybe in a couple years but even the new construction homes across the street and around the corner don't have it. Adjacent off-street parking is rare in this neighborhood.

There is a vinyl deck above the kitchen, off the spare BR but there is HUGE potential for a roof deck which is where all my spare dimes and pennies are going. There is small private alley off the kitchen, enough room for a grill and trash cans but no yard...which is not out of the ordinary for this part of center city. Even most patios here are just concrete slabs.
