I am sorry for not answering earlier as I have been offline and I am just now seeing this blog. Actually we got a few offers on our home. That is just one of three properties that I own. Initially we tried to sell the home back in September of 2005. At that time I had another baby coming so the family total of two kids, mom in law, 2 dogs, 3 cats and two turtles was way to big for the Talmadge home. I wanted to sell and my wife did not. We struck a deal such that if we got the price that we were searching for, we would indeed sell. If we did not we would go ahead and rent. We got two offers on the home but they both fell over 30k short of what we agreed upon.
As you all know peace on the home front by far outweighs financial decisions. Had it been my choice alone, I would have jumped at the offer, however it was not. We do have two great tenants and our cash flow is about break even on the home. So that’s the story of that. In the long run my mom in law will probably end up staying in that home after the kids get old enough for us to boot her out.
Guys, I have no problems at all about the question from sdrealtor. I do not feel they are out of line at all.
