Good Idea or Bad Idea?

[killer cacti]

Wife and I went out there yesterday to look over everything - It's a pretty awesome spot and the double lot next to it with a house built on it is for sale for $500k. That's good investment potential.

May be making an offer today.

Do it! You won't regret having a sweet lake house...you will only regret NOT having a sweet lake house.

Make sure you are legal when you build -

Basically the owners of the lake, after 50 years, decided to enforce restrictions on how close to the water level you can build a house.

I always picture a labrador retriever when I think of Teach, he is excited and happy all the time.

The house next to the lot we're looking at is on a double lot and is for sale for over $500k. That's far superior to what we're thinking of offering for the one lot - like exponentially.

Offer made - commence waiting game.

Offer's been on the table for about a week. He told me on Wednesday that he was consulting with his advisors. WTH does that mean? I work in real estate and have never heard of such.

It means, "we are holding out to make you want it more."

Maybe it means he's throwing the bones or reading leaves or something

I think that is code for "I gotta see what Grandpa says since it is actually his land" but advisers sounds better than

1. Gramps

2. BooBoo

3. Old Guy

Some dude that isn't man enough to admit his wife makes all the decisions.

Honestly, it needs a new roof and a new hvac - so I held off 10k from the offer to fix these. I'm wondering if he isn't seeing what he can do both of those for and ask to go up by 10k, so more $$$ for him in the long haul.

Bad thing is, there's a substantial amount of cash on the table right now that he can put towards his next home, I really want the lot, but I'm starting to think that maybe I should rescind the offer and maybe it'll move him to do some dealings with me.

I just don't want to piss him off where he doesn't sell it to me at all then.

I'd say, no reason to play games with him. You obviously have reasons behind the amount you offered. Let him stew on it and see what he comes back with.

Worst case is someone comes in with a higher bid. Rescinding the offer isn't going to help that.
