I have a cute little house in Mora.  It's just under 1,600 square feet, has a 2 car garage, and it's on a corner lot in town.  It needs updated electric, and a little work, but mostly love.

No lie, I have at least one person a day call me and tell me that they want to love this house.  They want to live in it, and they'll take such good care of it.

Can it please be sold on a contract for deed or rent to own?

Every time I say no, I feel like crying.  People are losing houses left and right, and it's not always their fault.  Financing is becoming harder to obtain, and banks are choosier than Jif moms. 

So I'm looking for a knight on a noble steed to come barging into my real estate office and say "I will make everything better!"

Okay, I know it's not possible to purchase enough houses to place everyone in a home, nor is everyone prepared to buy a home, even on a C/D.  But I can dream, right?

I don't envy those desperately looking for somewhere to live.  Hoping and praying that one of the houses on the market - any affordable one, really - is willing to sell on a contract for deed.  Rental prices are climbing, and the competition is fierce.  We have a ton of homes on the market, a ton of people that are homeless, and no way to put them together!

So if you're an investor, or thinking about investing, I encourage you to take a look at the Mora area.  We've got tons of great properties cheap, and I'm more than happy to spend time with you showing you values, sold comparables, and help you determine what needs to be done to make some of these houses into a home for someone and an income for you!
