SPEAKER_01 1:41

All right, well let's see here. What what caused you to fall behind on the taxes?

SPEAKER_02 1:48

About two years.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

Yeah, what I mean I know what caused it, just didn't make enough money or more than what most people pay, you know. I see that yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:17

I paid sixty-nine for it. I bought it about seven years, eight years ago.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

I know. Where where did thirty five why'd you come up with thirty-five thousand? 'Cause I went out of it. Don't get it, man. You want to get the hell out of there. All right.

Out in them, you know, out the saying dudes out over here in Cambridge. You know, it's one of them places where if you weren't born and raised here, you're in the inside. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 2:58

Okay. That's what it is. So the 35,000 though, that that would be enough to cover the back taxes and get you some money, right?

SPEAKER_03 3:07

Right, right. I think it's only like I need to be like four grand for the taxes. It was like 2,200 each year.

SPEAKER_01 3:15

Okay. Well, talk to me a little bit about the property itself.

SPEAKER_03 3:21

I want to uh uh roof on this on this house. I got a fencing backyard, needs a little work on fencing, but it goes around, it's like 150 by 100 in the back there. Uh got wooden floors in here. Just needs uh needs an update. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 3:43

Just like cosmetic updates?

SPEAKER_03 3:45

Yeah, just cosmetic updates.

SPEAKER_01 3:47

Okay. And I just want to make sure I'm looking at the right one. It's the the two-story building with the the shutters, it's yellow.

SPEAKER_03 4:17

Yeah, it's got three uh three uh tier deck in the back.

SPEAKER_00 4:22

Man.

SPEAKER_03 4:25

I don't understand. Illinois were eight and neat. Everything's high over here. All my people, all my friends, and uh everybody live over in Iowa.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

How uh how fast do you want to get out?

SPEAKER_03 4:43

Uh probably within 30 days or less.

SPEAKER_01 4:48

Perfect.

SPEAKER_03 4:52

Take it much. I bought new stove, new uh refrigerator, there's washer and dryer back here and the and stuff, you know what I'm saying? So I ain't gonna take it much with me.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

Are you gonna are you gonna be leaving a lot?

SPEAKER_02 5:07

Probably I'll probably be leaving a lot of stuff, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

Like, how many dumpsters worth of stuff were we talking

Property Condition And What Stays

SPEAKER_01 5:15

about?

SPEAKER_02 5:15

Probably one.

SPEAKER_01 5:16

One.

SPEAKER_03 5:18

Yeah, because uh uh furniture, there's a built-in uh thing in that you're uh like uh I don't know, I don't know how you can say that.

SPEAKER_01 5:29

Yeah, but you're like you're you're taking like clothes and furniture and all that stuff, right?

SPEAKER_03 5:34

Right, I'm taking my clothes and leaving uh yeah, there ain't that much furniture in here.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

Okay. Because sometimes people say, hey, I'm gonna leave some stuff behind and they got a lot of stuff.

SPEAKER_03 5:45

Right, right, right. No, I'm uh yeah, it's gonna take me and my dog to get three dogs. Uh there's hardwood floors in down there, yeah. Uh hardwood floors on in the house. There's a mudroom, there's a basement, there's the uh detached garage. Um see what else. That's about it. I mean, it's like three bedrooms and a half a bath upstairs.

SPEAKER_01 6:18

Well, say I come in and I pay the the closing costs, the no realtor commissions, anything like that. The only thing that you would have to pay is the the back taxes.

SPEAKER_03 6:29

Right.

SPEAKER_01 6:29

What do you think is the best number you could do for me?

SPEAKER_03 6:33

35.

SPEAKER_02 6:36

Buy it for 69. You ain't gonna get any cheaper up here. I'd probably be the cheapest house you buy it.

SPEAKER_01 6:50

Well, you knew what you wanted. Let's do it. I like it. Alright. Uh let me see here. I've got your email.

SPEAKER_02 7:04

Alright, right.

SPEAKER_03 7:05

I got all the I got all the uh paperwork right here in the house. All I have to do is sign it over to you, or we make a contract or whatever. I'll pay the taxes.

SPEAKER_01 7:15

So the way it works is I'm gonna send you the contract. You're gonna sign the contract, I'll email it to you, and then I'm gonna open up title with uh closing attorney. They'll figure out how much is owed on those back taxes, make sure there's no other liens or anything. And then at closing. Right. And then at closing, when when we pay for the house, it'll pay the taxes, and then they'll just cut you a check for the difference.

unknown 7:44

All right.

SPEAKER_01 7:45

So you don't even have to you don't even technically have to pay for them. It's gonna come out of the proceeds.

SPEAKER_03 7:50

Right, right, right, right, right. But I I you're getting a good deal. I mean, you can turn this, well, you probably turn this into like a hundred thousand dollar house with you know maybe 20, 20 grand on top of what you pay for.

SPEAKER_01 8:04

That's the goal.

Closing Costs, Taxes, And Paperwork

SPEAKER_03 8:05

Yeah, yeah, I know. My brother flips houses, dude.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

There you go. Where does he flip houses? Down here in Missouri. No way. What part of Missouri?

SPEAKER_03 8:16

Uh upper upper part.

SPEAKER_01 8:20

SPEAKER_03 8:23

Sometimes. I haven't talked to him in about a year or so, so I couldn't really say. I haven't talked to him in a year, but I know he's down there flipping out.

unknown 8:32

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:36

He's been down here ever since, so he must be doing good.

SPEAKER_01 8:38

SPEAKER_03 8:39

Alright, so I'm gonna put a good stove, I'm leaving a good dishwasher, I'm leaving a good refrigerator, and I'm leaving a uh uh good uh uh washer and dryer.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

I love it. I appreciate it. So I'm gonna put a uh closing date. Yeah, it's like seven, eight years ago. So okay. I'm gonna put a closing date of September 4th. Does that work?

SPEAKER_03 9:05

Yeah, works. I can get out of here in less than a week, dude.

SPEAKER_01 9:10

SPEAKER_03 9:16

All right, yeah. I I'm gonna chill, yeah. It ain't gonna take me long to uh get out of here.

SPEAKER_01 9:23

SPEAKER_01 9:40

I see that.

SPEAKER_03 9:43

All right, uh I think I think you're getting a good deal because if my house was uh up to date, it would be like a hundred and nine a hundred and twenty thousand dollar home.

SPEAKER_01 9:55

You want me to send you pictures when it's all over with? You want me to send you pictures when it's all fixed up? Man, you're like the best seller I'm gonna talk to all day. You know that?

SPEAKER_03 10:16

I don't hate, I can't pull no punches on you, dude. I want to get the fuck out of Illinois. I hate Illinois.

SPEAKER_01 10:22

What do you hate about it so much? Because I've been up there and I actually liked it.

SPEAKER_03 10:27

See everybody's kind of like buddy buddy with each other and feed from here and kind of you know, but I'm disabled, so everybody, you know, they help try to help me out and stuff, but I don't want that, I don't want their help, you know what I'm saying? I just want to be on my own, you know what I'm saying?

Life Pressure: Costs And Independence

unknown 10:55

I don't need no help. Right.

SPEAKER_00 11:15

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 11:17

SPEAKER_01 11:37

All right, well, give me just a few more seconds here. I'm almost done writing this thing up.

SPEAKER_03 11:42

Because uh, you know, the cost of gas, I'm paying a dollar more a gallon in gas than my friends are over in Iowa. Uh cigarettes is almost like ten bucks over here, it's like four, five, six bucks over in Iowa. You know, stuff like that. It's just little stuff like that. See, I don't have that much money a month to burn. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 12:06

I just went out, it's just too much for me. I'm one person, you know, and I only got one leg. And yeah, it's just this house is just too much for me. I can't keep up with it.

Uh big God yelled at me and I I didn't hear him, but I looked out the side of my eye, I could see the road had cracked, it was sliding down towards me. I got my one leg out of the way, but I couldn't get the goddamn my left one out. And it got pinned between the tamper and uh the road. And I heard every bone in my leg crack.

I was out for two, two, three days. My mom said they um called it for me twice. So I don't know, that's what she said. I don't know too much about what happened the first couple days without doubt. But I know it uh it took me uh took me a month before they amputated my leg and I got good, and then it took me uh another half a month to show them idiots that I can live on my own, and then I had to take a physical therapy class for four times a week for six months, and then the last six months it was three days a week, and then they said you're good.

SPEAKER_01 14:57
