Here we are talking about how to manage to buy a good house at a low price from a private owner. Now let’s take a closer look, because we have experienced this method ourselves.
We were looking for our motorhome for almost 3 months, because we wanted to buy a good house cheaply, and we were new to this topic. Such options were available only once a week. And they were being hunted by a lot of people.
We traveled literally across America to get the RV we wanted, and several times it went out from under our noses.
The laws of the market work here:
Did you find a cool offer that you posted a couple of hours ago? Consider that you are not the first caller. And the probability that you will have it in the neighboring area tends to zero.
What does a cool option mean? This is a motorhome owned by an elderly married couple (this is an unspoken quality mark in the USA), nurtured and cherished it, drove it several times a year and took it to the service like clockwork. Add to the ideal condition a price just below the market, and you have a few minutes to make an appointment first.
If you are already in the USA, then outline the radius where you will be ready to go for a motorhome. For example, we were looking in an area 500 miles from San Francisco, where we lived. It takes 7−8 hours by car. Plus, we included major cities in neighboring states in the search: Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego; where it was possible to fly quickly and relatively cheaply.
