SOLD! not sold?

We had an offer on the house in Waterloo. It was for LESS than we owe.

We countered with an offer that would cause us to 'break-even'.

Our potential buyers have accepted an offer on their place & will close mid-January. They are working on solidifying their closure before they accept our counter-offer.

We should know more today.

We are disappointed that we'll lose all the investment $$ for upgrades we did to make it more marketable. I guess that's the gamble with investments, I know we're not the only people in the midwest who are losing money on properties right now.
This sucks, but at least we can get out from 2 mortgage payments each month. This is called a 'distress sale'. For sure.

WEll, hopefully it will sell. YOu don't money, but each month you pay two payments is more loss money! Better to stop the money going out....
