Our realtor was telling us that my friend and I didn’t want to even look at the apartment that my friend and I now own.
My fiance and I saw it from the street and discovered the price.
It was indeed a bargain basement, and that was intriguing. But I recall lying down inside the central air conditioner of the realtor’s office. When my friend and I told him this was a place we were interested in, he shook his head. And then he explained why my friend and I didn’t want this site. The reason the price was so low was that nearly everything inside had to be updated, from the heating and cooling unit to the bedroom appliances. This property had apparently been ensnared in some sort of epic estate court battle for decades. It was out of date, to begin with and had been sitting for nearly 20 years. But my friend and I were still interested and wanted to see it. The realtor caved, and my friend and I took a look. And my friend and I both fell in love with this place and the property. My friend and I planned to make an offer the next day. My friend and I were fortunate enough to negotiate a price that was slightly lower than the initial low price. With the extra money, my friend and I ripped out the air duct and installed the most recent residential heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system right away. It made sense to us to simply rip out all of the outdated appliances, flooring, and other changes my friend and I wanted to make right away. In fact, my friend and I spent some time in a camper while the renovations were being completed. Thankfully, my friend and I had a space heater out there because we had just finished as the winter weather began.
