So I have this listing that everyone told me would never sell and finally today we have what appears to be a solid contract. It's not that people weren't interested in this property. No, I had at least 20 offers on this property. The problem is that this is a 2 bedroom/1 bath mobile home on a half acre off of a dirt road in Harris county that is $35,000. Cheap huh?
