“TJ Waconia House” Rehab - Big Love!

Looking for the best rehab is very, very difficult in North Minneapolis. My client and I spend quite a bit of time scouring the neighborhoods. Let’s not make any mistakes. There are plenty of homes on the market that will not meet our needs.
We are not interested in homes that have neighbors who appear to be crack dealers. We basically stand in front of the home before we put a bid on it and just take good hard look. Right flank, left flank. Okie dokie. When we see a good block, we go for it.
Further, my client drives up and down the hoods to make sure that drug deals and other issues are not happening. Yes, she even drives by at night. She’s a gutsy chicky and that’s why we get along. I love it!
When we go in to a house and we hear noises, she goes first. One time, recently, we walked in to a boarded up house and we heard a noise that sounded like a rat or maybe a big, bad scary squatter or maybe a crack dealer….I screamed and ran out the door and she called me a “scared, LITTLE girl”. Hee hee!
When you buy one of her homes, you can be pretty sure that things are “good to go”. That’s more than just a hunch.
