The building on Feiyang Road is indeed old, a red brick and cement tile building with four floors in total. There are five units on each floor, and the units for sale are the smaller units in the middle, two bedrooms and 40 square meters each.
"How much is this house?" He Wenlin asked.
Zheng Juan: "The landlord is asking for 38,000 yuan for this house."
“It’s too expensive,” He Wenlin said. “It comes to about a thousand yuan per square meter, which is about the same price as houses in Shaoxing city.”
"You can talk to the landlord about this yourself."
He Wenlin didn't say anything. She really wanted to buy it, but she remained calm and composed.
She walked around the house and said, "Are there any houses left in this area? I don't care about the size or the appearance. We've come all this way and it's rare for us to come all this way. If there are any, I'd like to take a look. If there's any land available, that would be great too. I can build and decorate it myself."
The area will be demolished in a few years; the more you buy now, the more you'll earn later.
“I thought you only wanted to buy a small apartment,” Zheng Juan laughed. “There’s an old house next door for sale, a two-story red brick house, but it’s not very big. Across the street there’s a large unfinished building, with five storefronts on the first floor. It’s been built up to three stories, but it’s just a frame now. It’s also for sale.”
Mr. He asked, "It's already three stories high, why is he selling it?"
"I heard that the husband was having an affair, and the other woman is pregnant. When the wife found out, she was making a scene and wanted a divorce. She wanted half of the property in the divorce, but all the money went into building the house, so what property was left to divide? That's why they're planning to sell the house and split the money in half."
He Wenlin was quite interested and said, "Let's go and take a look at these two places you mentioned."
Zheng Juan led them to see the house next door first. It was said to be a two-story building, but it was actually not tall. There were only two rooms on each floor, one in front and one in back, with a stairwell in the middle. The light was very dim because it was right next to the houses on both sides, with zero distance between the buildings.
Moreover, the stairwell has been converted into a shower room, making it very damp.
However, the location is good, so once you buy it, you'll be waiting for demolition and redevelopment.
The house has a single-floor area of about 40 square meters, and the asking price is 50,000.
The last place we went to see was a large, empty shell building. It was indeed large, right by the roadside, with five storefronts on the first floor. He Wenlin estimated that the area of a single floor was at least 150 square meters.
This house is asking price 380,000!
"Mr. He, Mr. He, what do you think?" Zheng Juan said. "Personally, I think the largest one on the roadside is the most suitable for investment, and the ground floor storefront can also be rented out."
“This place isn’t very lively, and the rent for a storefront is too high,” He Wenlin said. “However, I’m optimistic about the future development of Keshan Town, so if the price is right, I might consider buying it.”
“You can negotiate the price,” Zheng Juan said in a low voice. “They’re getting a divorce, so we can definitely negotiate the price down.”
"You can help me arrange to meet the landlords for these three properties, but we're busy with our business and can only come over in the evenings..."
It's too late today; a meeting is unlikely.
Only next time.
Zheng Juan nodded repeatedly in agreement. If these three houses were sold, the brokerage fee would be quite substantial.
Of course, He Wenlin only uses her to buy houses now, so the agency fee is cheaper. But she gets paid from both sides. If the deal goes through, the amount will definitely be at least 400,000 yuan, and her commission will be 6,000 yuan!
Zheng Juan and her husband drove He Wenlin and the others to the Caijiang Village fast food restaurant. By the time they returned to the restaurant, it was almost 11:30.
The fast food restaurants are all closed.
"Linlin, Uncle, you're back!" He Wenjun greeted him happily. "Linlin, guess how much the business did tonight?"
He Wenlin: "One hundred and fifty?"
"Wow! You're a fortune teller! You could even guess that!"
Mr. He's eyes widened: "Really 150?"
Before Haiping Fast Food Restaurant existed, it was extremely rare for late-night snacks to reach this level.
Aunt He smiled and said, "It's one hundred and fifty-four yuan and fifty cents in total."
"So, yesterday's event was a success," He Wenlin said.
"That family over there didn't come here to sell late-night snacks tonight. They know how formidable Linlin is, and they've been chased away, hahaha." He Wenjun laughed heartily.
“That family sells late-night snacks outside the shirt factory. When we came back, we saw them packing up,” He Wenlin said. “Those two are pretty shrewd.”
Knowing that he couldn't compete with the two factories here, he went to sell his products outside the shirt factory and even set up a food cart to cook fresh. He has ideas and the ability to execute them, so he should do well in the future.
"How's the house hunting going? Have you bought any yet?" He Wenhua asked.
"Buying a house isn't that easy," said Mr. He. "We just went to take a look."
"Brother Fei, what are your thoughts on the houses we looked at today?" He Wenlin asked.
Lin Fei: "I'll do as you say. If you say I'll buy it, I'll buy it."
“I think that place has a lot of potential for appreciation. If it were me, I would buy it. But you should ask your mom. The smaller one is 38,000. There’s definitely room for negotiation. I think you can get it for 35,000. If you take out a loan of 20,000 for five years, the monthly payment will only be 300 or 400 yuan. However, the houses there may not be easy to rent out for the time being. It may take a few more years before you see the price rise.”
"The other two buildings you've been looking at, do you want to buy them?"
"Two buildings?" Xia Lijuan exclaimed in surprise. "Linlin, you're buying houses again, and two of them?"
He Wenlin: "They say there are two buildings, but they are actually just low-rise houses like those in the countryside."
Xia Lijuan was extremely envious: "That would cost tens of thousands of yuan. If you bought so many houses, would you be able to live in them all?"
“Rent it out. After you and my brother make money doing business, don’t rush back to build. Buy here. Houses in big cities will definitely appreciate in value.” After He Wenlin finished speaking, she said to Lin Fei, “Talk to your mother about it tomorrow. I suggest you buy it. It’s getting late, everyone should go home and rest.”
