This is the original bathroom. Its was pink tile with pink wall paper and a shower insert which was made of flimsy material.





























Here is the wall behind the shower insert. yuck.



























Thats my brother Steven hooking up the plumbing.





















Wife testing out new tub. Its a little more deeper then the previous tub.
























Brad Looney working on the finish, thanks for all your help man....

Pre-approval letters and bank owned homes.........

Pre-approval with the bank who owns the home:
When making an offer on a REO home it is to your advantage to be pre-approved with the bank that owns the home. So if you are planning on using Countrywide, for example, your chances of getting a countrywide home offer excepted are better compared with a buyer with the same offer from a competing bank.

Since most of the listing are either wells Fargo or Countrywide(BofA). I recommend to buyers to get qualified with both.


Different websites which list homes by bank:

All of the different banks who sell homes as foreclosures have their own websites which list the homes they own. Below is a list of the different websites banks have set up to preview their homes. Its a good idea to check out what homes are available for the bank you are planning on doing business with.
