We spent Tuesday 9/22 with a realtor in Lompoc about 20 minutes from where Michael and Kristen will be working. Budget limitations limited the number of single home properties to a whopping TWO! The first one could only be helped with a match and a bulldozer. It was just horid and would need full gutting and rebuild to be usable. If this was what we had to look forward to things were looking bleak already.
The second house was much better. Someone bought it to remodel and replaced all the windows, interior doors and tiled all the floors except the bedrooms and then walked away. Bank owned and not on the market yet but our agent is an exclusive agent for this bank so nobody knows about it yet. Her contractor is finishing up the interior painting and a few other things and should have a price in the next week or so. The Realtor knows the limits and sounds like it will be priced in that window so with any luck they will be able to get a house 20 minutes from work. Exterior needs paint and the yards are a wreck but plenty of potential. The house next store is listed for 50K more than this one so that's encouraging.
Kristen and I took off for home 9/23 leaving Michael there as he is working this week. he found a room to rent so he'll be back up to collect some things and off he goes again. He and the restaurant owner get along well so hopefully things work out well. For now it's 'hurry up and wait' for the contractor to wrap up and the realtor to price it can call them...
