When my wife and I met we both owned houses. As things progressed we moved in to my house because it was larger and nicer. She purchased her house in 2009 as a foreclosure after some drunk lost it due to some jail time for nonsupport. We've rented the house to family for the last 6 years. When my wife lived there it needed some work and things needed updated but it was clean and in pretty good condition. The renter and her 4 kids were hell on the place but really it's nothing that didn't need ripped out in a remodel anyway.
The end of August we put my house on the market and had a damn good offer within 11 days. We close on the house this Friday and I have until the following Friday to move out. That's the Friday of strouds so I want to be in the new house by that Wednesday. The plan is to move in, renovated it, and put it on the market by May of next year. The house is sitting on about 60k in equity and needs maybe 10k in materials.
The renter moved out of the other house today and I've been busting ass to get stuff done. I'm having the walls and ceiling painted on Wednesday and she should be done Thursday. Once she's done I'm going to sand, stain, and poly the hardwood floors. Once that's done I'm going to put in all new doors, baseboards, and door trim. All of that needs done in the next 9 days. Day 10 is moving day, day 12 is the Friday of Strouds.
I'll keep updating this thread as I go.
