#6 Nobody knows the houses I've seen

Eventually I became less and less eager to look at, or for that matter even consider looking at the emails the MLS sent me. I'd go a month without looking at the email listings and when I did, it was always the same damn thing. The same properties listed as new although I'd seen them before. Or reduced in price. Not that money was so much the problem. It was almost always that the place wasn't right. I stopped taking pictures after a while. It was just a chronicle of misery but you can get what I'm saying.

Whitefish Bay: Theoretically this was very much what I wanted. I loved the style but the master bedroom window looked right out onto the neighbor's driveway. I mean the neighbor's driveway was paved right up to and against the back of this house. To make matters worse there was a basket ball hoop on their garage. The neighbor's garbage was against the back of the the house just outside the master bedroom window. This had been the home of an elderly couple who had both died. Another neighbor bought it (overpaid for it), thinking they were getting a deal and that they were going to turn it quickly and make a profit. That didn't work out so well for them.

Bayview: So many issues, the front door opened directly into the stairs to the second floor. 

Like the door touched the first stair. The place was too small anyway.

Shorewood: The garage was separating from the house. 

I didn't like the house anyway, maybe the garage didn't like the house either.

RiverWest: Yeah, no on this one. 

And the owner, who happened to be outside was a complete asshole.
