casaCARA: Old Houses for Fun and Profit
I’VE BEEN GETTING FED UP with house prices here in the Humptons. Yesterday my friend Debre and I stumbled upon an old farmhouse with a ‘For Sale’ sign on Old Stone Highway in Springs, below, found the door open (!) and the realtor’s flyers conveniently stacked on the kitchen counter. I was hoping it was under $1mil. In fact, they’re asking $2.5mil.

$1 million vs. $2.5 million–that’s a big spread!

At some juncture in this decade (should have happened three decades ago) real estate agents out there should REALLY learn what a lockbox is, and how to use it.
For several years, there has been a lockbox available that tracks who enters, so it would be very simple to establish the last person in, and the company/individual that left the door open for ANYONE to wander in/out.
A property open like that??? Insanity.
