Woke up this morning before 6 AM. That's.. interesting.
That's okay. It's still nice and cool. I'll take it. Trying to basically refrigerate the house right now before it heats up too much.
Accuweather upped their predicted temperature to 102 today and 103 tomorrow. The weather service issues a heat warning couple days ago with expected temps up to 105 this week.
Now I have a different problem. The kitchen drain is clogged somewhere between the tap outside the window and the connection to the main line. I tried drain cleaner a few days ago. That didn't work completely. Tried a small amount of Muriatic acid last night. Maybe not enough because that still didn't work. Just poured the rest of the gallon down the drain. See if that works. If not, I'll have to borrow or go buy a drain snake because I shipped mine to AL. Damn it! Oh, well. I can smell the acid working. Does not smell good but it has no real odor by itself. So I'm hopeful.
Supposed to hear something back from a couple of investors today. One was supposed to get back to me last evening but didn't. But he was supposed to talk to someone else, so maybe they did not get back to him. I'll text him after 8.
I am seriously hoping to start getting some offers today. Realistic offers. Got one from someone in another state who was trying to base their offer on tax assessment. Turned that down immediately. I don't even want to know what kind of complications would have been involved with the closing. They have no idea what they're doing. And the number they quoted was something I had to fight laughing or screaming at. Less than $88k. I didn't ask but she probably would have wanted me to pay the closing costs and title fees. Just the offer alone killed any further discussion. What really pisses me off is that she calls herself a Progressive. Meanwhile she is trying to take advantage of people for her own profit. I don't disparage anyone making a profit but if you buy a property at $100k and sell it at $130, that's a 30% profit (minus expenses). That would be for no work and in only a few days or weeks.
Honestly, I am hoping for more than $100k but will take $96k. That would be $20k in my pocket and is a more than reasonable price. If none of the offers are that high then I will list the house with another agent today or tomorrow and hope for a fast closing.
