We got our house in Wichita at a great deal on a short sale. We were moving back up from Texas, and the Market here was stupid hot at the time and nearly every house we liked was gone before I could even look at it.
I didn't even want to look at our house because the pictures were terrible online. Wife insisted based on the pictures of the great room, which they had basically used book shelves to break up into a few different spaces, office area, TV area, etc.
Went in the house and once I looked past their clutter, it had a nearly perfect layout for us. Because we had flexibility in when we moved in, we got it. An older couple were living there and he had lost his job. They couldn't really keep up with the house, and it needed a couple small things that I did myself once we moved in.
