Flip Flop (or just Flop)?
Saturday, September 18, 2010 at 1:13PM As some of you have seen on Facebook, after six long months of waiting for the seller's bank to approve the loss on the place we were purchasing in Las Vegas, it finally happened last week. That meant we were on the clock to finish our due diligence in 10 days and needed to get an inspection. Because I found out the power had been off in the unit for the entire Vegas summer I was concerned about how it was fairing in 115 degree weather without AC (we've heard stories of paint melting off the walls in similar situations) and decided to be on-site to see any problems with my own eyes. While there I decided to look at another unit which had just recently come on the market with a floorplan that I thought we might like better. Turns out I was right about the floorplan in addition to the fact that it would require considerably less remodeling than our original unit to be ready for move-in. The second unit would allow us to furnish on day one rather than call a contractor on day one. Downside was slightly more money and not quite as good a view because it was lower in the building. After some quick phone discussion between Seattle and Vegas we decided to make an offer for this new unit on the spot. We were still under the due diligence period on our first unit, so as long as we cancelled prior to the end of that time we would not have any penalties nor end up owning both.
Long story short, we are flip floppers (or maybe just floppers since we didn't flip back). After living on the edge for a few days with contracts on both places, we decided to keep the second unit and cancel the first. Here are some pictures of the new place which should close on October 15th:
