Dear PoPville – Did We Get a Good Deal?

“Dear PoPville,

After a two year saga that included five failed contracts, my fiance and I just managed to buy this house. It was a double short sale (the owner had two mortgages, both of which had to take a loss), with four tenants, and is in good group-house condition. We think we got a good deal, but what about the commentariat?”

This 5 bed/3.5 bath, located at 3163 18th St, NW in Mt. Pleasant, was bought for $720,000. You can see photos here.

First let me say congrats on your perseverance! Given the location and even if it needs $100k in reno I still think it’s a good deal because of the location and size. Houses that size in Mt. Pleasant regularly go for over $1 million.

What do you guys think?

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
