Received a computer generated thing in the mail today, from “Swift Investments” offering $143,888 for my condo, subject to inspection. We know how that goes “oh, we need to take $10,000 off for this deficiency, and $20,000 off for that”…until the amount is reduced to a pittance. The township assessor says the place has a market value of $160,000.
While the condo bylaws say the units are supposed to be owner occupied, it has never been enforced, so the place is now about 40% rentals.
I have received a number of things from realtors claiming to have someone interested in my place, or wanting to list it, but this is the first purported cash offer received, and from an “investment” company, at that.
I get such offers periodically. Sometimes they are printed on really good paper and signed manually with a pen (or somehow by a machine but looks that way).
For the first time, just yesterday we received a letter with a specific offer for our home.
I thought it was a lowball offer, but it immediately found its way into the circular file (although technically, it’s a rectangle).
I’m not in the mood for moving and after all the yard work I’ve done this year, I want a Musk-like bonus for meeting my wife’s yard goals.
I like doing yard work. No one bothers me except the worms (occasionally Ms. Wolf will come out in her white hard hat & clipboard and direct me to move one of the hydrangeas 6 inches to the left) AND I get to play in the dirt. That’s what I call a win-win.
