We bought a House!!!
Okay so I have been pretty bad about updating anything lately but I guess because lots of stuff has been going on! Need to catch up on Cam and Cory but tonight's post is about a little endeavor we recently did by buying a home in Pensacola, FL! To make a long story short, several years ago an unfortunate situation occurred where John's parents lost their businesses and house and ended up moving to Florida to start fresh at new jobs and they were living the apartment life. We brought up the idea to his parents of buying a home and they can be our renters to get them out of the apartment and to keep the money in the family as an investment home. John and I got a steal of a deal on a home initially listed in the $120,000's that was a foreclosure and went up for auction. We were super lucky to win the auction and get the house for a third of the price and it was pretty much move in ready other than needing some good cleaning, & a new a/c unit and can use a good power washing on the outside. The roof was new and the house in overall great condition. It's not got any fancy upgrades and doesn't have a garage, but it is just perfect for what we were looking for and has 1400 square feet, 4 bedroom, 2 full bath, 1 acre lot a couple miles from the beach and close to the military base his Mom works at and I think it is a cute home that will be able to be re-sold if needed in the future. They will be able to pay it off in a couple years, it was all around a win-win for all of us and we have the best renters possible and things couldn't have worked out more perfect.....helping out our family and we are set with a vacation spot now since my parents sold their timeshare in Daytona! Enough talking here are the pics...some I took but some are the photos from the realtors site.
