Ups and Downs

So you spend hours on the Internet, more hours speaking with real estate agent, many of which will not return phone calls, or send the needed information. Wondering about sellers who while putting their properties for sale cannot or will not supply any meaningful information. Finally you line up few places and make the necessary arrangements to see them. Assuming the weather is cooperative and everyone shows up you finally get to see the property.

Now comes the real part. The place does not at all look like the pictures you were shown. You detect all kind of structural problems. Rooms look old and un appealing...the list goes on and on.

There always seems to be another "story" behind and you need to have the patience and persistence to find it.

Why is the property being sold?

Why now?

What is going on in the area?

What kind of gusts does this property attracts?

What kind of routine maintenance has been done and what is going to be handed to you?

In what condition are the furniture and beds in the rooms?

Is there enough linen, and other amenities.

The list seems endless but theses items are important and some very costly.

It is very easy to get frustrated, tired, angry. We called the search off several times and took a break. But if you really want it, eventually you will line few properties that seem to have most of the characteristics that are important to you.
