Don't give up Ryan, This one looks like it belongs to you. Sometimes people sell homes to buyers because they like the buyer more than they like money. Your connections to people who can help make the place beautiful again could sway the seller in your favour. Best of Luck!
Absolutely true sometimes. The place that I'm at now had other offers and people interested, but they went with us instead, because my sister-in-law wrote a passionate plea letter to the property owners personally. That made the difference. Not saying that works everytime, but it did for us. 😁
I agree!! Same happened for us! Other higher offers wanted to fill in an inground swimming pool- we loved the property for the pool- pool had sentimental value to seller, they did not want in filled and demolished- we got the house!!!! Loved the pool, made seller happy!! Write a letter if you cant meet sellers yourselves. Besides its close to Billy!
I agree! I don't have personal experience myself, but, I'm sure if you write something about why you love the property, talk about how much you love antiques, and, how you've helped your frind, Billy to restore his chateau, and, now, the convent. Talk about things like how close it is to your friends and family, and, how much you value them. Also, maybe even talk about your hopes to raise a family of your own there, eventually (sometimes presenting yourself as a family man / someone with close ties to the community, helps). What I'd suggest, though, is, still see if you can get to visit the place, and, go look at the work to do inside ... it's likely (I imagine) that the place was originally in a horrible condition, with leaks, etc., and, in order to sell the property for a better price, the owners simply put a new roof and windows (also to avoid further damage to the property). The cheap price might be due to damages inside.
It is a gorgeous building Ryan. Putting your name forward is a good idea regardless of whether you get it because it will make the locals aware that you are available and wanting and deserving something special. It seems very reasonably priced. You would pay millions for that house where I live! Thank you for the video!
I once went to view a house that was right at top of my budget. It was an architect designed conversion and appropriately bonkers. The agent didn’t know how much to market it for as there were no comparators. I rang up literally ten minutes after it went on the market, went to see it twice that day. I loved it. (Parents hated it. ). Agent said they had no idea what it would go for or if anyone would be interested. Over that weekend they had multiple offers and it ended up going for way higher. Wasn’t meant to be. If this one isn’t meant to be for you Ryan, it’s because there is something else coming your way that will suit better. But I agree with other viewers, getting your financial stuff all ready is the priority otherwise you’ll always be the one losing out. You need to be able to go to the agent and be able to proceed that day with agreed funds behind you. It increases the value of your money significantly.
I agree and I know you know about getting you banking together because you were already trying to do that at the shifty bank you switched from. You know I wish you bonne chance.
Wow, great property. Don’t give up on your dream Ryan. My husband and I never thought we would own a home but 27 years ago our luck changed and we were able to get pre approved for a loan and we bought our home with only $2,000 US down. Our house was $107,000 when we bought it and is now worth $400,000, it’s only 1060 square feet with a garage the the land is only 5000 square feet, not much at all. Keep the dream alive Ryan and you will get your dream home.
In Ontario, Canada I bought my house for $124,000.00 and it's a 3 bedroom side split and in 2009 when I started to buy I thought it sounded like I'd be paying forever. It's rent to own and I have 40,00 left to go @$450.00 mo. it has recently been appraised at $480,000.00 it sits on 1 third of an acre and has an attached garage. I have finished the basement and I can't believe it sometimes that It's mine
Hey Ryan! I wouldn't count this property out yet. Anything can happen. If it were me in your shoes, I'd go for it, do all I an and push as much as can be done, staying positive. Sometimes one has to fight a little for the things they really want. Can't go into battle for something with an defeatist attitude. We believe in you!
Don’t despair. Yes, it looks like an amazing property, but it sounds too good to be true. I would definitely want to thoroughly check it out. I hope you will find your perfect place at the right time and when you are financially ready. Good luck.
Best to get pre approved on a loan so you will know how much you can afford, then when you find a place you can put an offer in with your pre approval letter from the bank.
It's a gorgeous property, Ryan!!! Definitely stay on top of it. You never know if the current offers being made will fall through. Anything can happen. It's a shame you didn't hear about it sooner. You've been working really hard helping Billy. The right place will pop up soon, I'm sure. See you fellas tomorrow. 😘💕
I have to say that sometimes a very heartfelt letter to a person selling a place as the house special it is to you can go along way. Don’t give up just be persistent and sweet like you are.
RYAN!!! You can have this place if you want it!! Manifest it!! Nothing is written in stone. People don’t just sell their homes to anyone! They want someone who will love it as much as them!! Two weeks and they still haven’t sold it??? MAKE AN OFFER!!! 💪🏻
Hello Ryan. Thanks for the Sunday tour. Beautiful manor home but that price was too good. Hope the new owners take good care of it. Good to see Alexander and darling Billy. Say hi to the gang. Stay safe.😘
Hi Ryan. You can see the disappointment in your eyes and hear it in your voice. You will find a place that is right for you. My heart goes out to you on this one. I know you would love to be close to your "bestest friend" Billy & family.
Don't give up, this has your name on the letter box!! Keys are in your hands!! Stay focused on you being the new owner and sleep every night in the assumption that you are now the proud new owner. Everyone is congratulating you on your proud accomplishment AND you got it for less than the asking price!! 💞
Wow, at least you now know what you love. 2 mins down the road from ya mate in a country farm doer upper in tnis price range. Good Luck Ryan, right place at the right time and my wish is Downey will be with you.
Ryan, I assume the roof was replaced because it was leaking a lot and that’s why the the ceilings/walls are in such a poor state. My question is why the owner is trying to dump the property at such a bargain price? It sounds like this place could be a money pit if the interior need to be gutted and the structural timbers replaced because they’re rotted. This property might be better suited to a buyer who has deep pockets.
There's a good roof on there now, so no further damage is happening. You're young and single, so you could take your time with the renovations as funds permit. GO FOR IT!!!
It just goes to show there are properties out there. Always ask if the sellers or agents know of any other similar properties. Get the word out you're local and interested in a place nearby. Keep saving and if there's a preapproval in France, work on that. And.. always use your charm!! You will aquire a home thats right for you..things work out for a reason. ❤️
Ryan. I hope you can get it! It looks wonderful and you would be close to your friend billy!! If this is not the property for you. There will be a beautiful place for you! With God all things are possible because He loves you. Your blessings are coming ryan.
Beautiful Ryan, take a chance on that property that’s what life’s about. Don’t give up on it if u like it! Enquire. Give them a call… go for it lad xx❤
Hi Ryan. This is so you !!!! Its ideal for you and a very beautiful building. Don't give up hope it could be that the person buying it is more important than someone who will not do a sympathetic renovation and put it back to how it was in times gone by. I wish you luck Ryan, explore the options it could be yours. Love you lots Jill Birmingham U.K. XXXXXXX
Awe Ryan, I think this place is meant to be for YOU. It would be stunning, when it’s renovated. Fingers crossed, there could be a wish come true for You ❤ I wish I had the Money. I would buy it for You ❤ Then I could come for holidays. 🎉😊❤xxx Lots of Love from Shaz down under in Oz 🇦🇺🦘🥰💁♀️xxx
Nice location. The house may be full if mold. Maybe the buyer will sell one of the out buildings and you could get that. Keep looking you will find your dream home. Hugs
I am in agreement with lot of the others who have commented. This is a private sale, and sometimes people prefer to sell to someone who is just as passionate about the property as they are, even if it means they sell at a little less. I would contact the sellers, let them know that you are connected to the area, and that you are currently living nearby. Let them also know that you have been searching for a property near your friends and work. You have charm, and are very friendly, all a plus when dealing with private sellers, you just need to be positive and persuasive. You literally have nothing to lose! If you don’t get the manor, there will be other places, but at least know that you tried your hardest whatever the outcome. That’s how great deals are made, not by doubt or hesitation. Good luck Ryan! ❤
Thanks Ryan for showing us this. My dream is to buy a property abroad and learn as much as I can about the process. This makes me excited to start looking seriously. Love your videos! The right piece of property will happen for you, patience is the key!
I saw my property for sale 7 years before I got it. It was a similar situation. The offer was made and deal in the works & I wasn’t quite secure to counter. By chance I met the new owner all those years later at a cookout & he talked about a property he was looking to sell. Imagine my surprise when it was my desired place from all those years before & all the updates. Better yet, we avoided reality & got a lawyer to draw up a land contract at half the going price. He was glad to be rid of it & I was the luckiest person to get the place I had wanted so much. So Ryan, keep your head up, keep being a positive force in the world & someday the right place will be yours. I just know it will.😊
I have my fingers crossed for you Ryan - that’s a wonderful property and has so much potential - nice size house and wonderful traditional plan. I’ve been where you are where I wasn’t able to buy a house that I really wanted. But I’m still hoping something comes along that makes this happen for you. Cheers!
I'm so sorry Ryan, this would have been perfect for you as it is so close to Billy and Gwen. I know how disappointed you must feel. You are always so upbeat and optimistic about everything. I would be crying in my beer!! Don't give up. Your time will come too!
This home is much better than the previous one, in the city limits. It never hurt to look around to get the feel of the market prices around the area of the Chateau and Convent's areas. If and when you are ready, you have done your homework and you will be ready to buy.
Here in Northern CA, even relatively small places with practically no yard, sell for half a million or more…. It’s amazing what one can purchase for that price in France! It’s fun to see what life is like in another country. I enjoy your channel.
You never know, for many sellers finding the right buyer is important and things fall through all the time. Home buying is up there with the most stressful of life happenings. Have faith, when it's right, you'll nail it 🤞
You've got the right attitude. Your dream property is still out there waiting to be discovered. It will come around when it's time. Hang in there and keep smiling.
Its Sunday. I'm seeing a miracle to happen. Ryan get yourself pre- qualified!! And pay the asking price or more. Here in Portland Maine and surrounding area. That price is less than an acre of land. You go Ryan. If anything this should motivate you to ponce on the next super property. Love ya
OM gosh! This is the perfect home for you! Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. I agree with SweetOne -- don't give up, I understand time is of the essence...maybe if you could meet with the Seller...
The new roof and windows do suggest the old ones were leaking badly, and that does show on the ceilings. Heaven knows what is between the floors and ceilings. It is beautiful, and if it is meant to be yours you will get it. If you don't get it then a place better for you will come at the right time. Thank you for sharing it.
Wow! I just commented on your last video, that the property there was the best one yet but this manor house with the outbuildings and large garden is exceptional. And the location is just perfect. I can see why you got so excited about it and why you were so disappointed at the end of the video. Don’t give up Ryan. France seems to be full of those property gems. Try to get your finances sorted first and in time you will get there. You are still very young. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Of course Alexander doesn't fancy to join you, he knows he'd be put on a window cleaning detail there. XO Edit: Perhaps Billy got an idea what to gift you for Christmas. ;) On a serious note - If you love it that much and Billy can help you out get it, you can sort finances out later, I presume. On even more serious note - when something is too good to be true, there is usually a huge catch - and here it's pretty obvious. If current owners are going through difficult times and have to opt for bargain sale of their property, people who are in position to buy right away (and you stated it correctly - there are many cash buyers at this price), would snatch this first day of sale, let alone two weeks on. I fear there is more to this house that doesn't meet the eye, that being legal issues or structural/something else. For the roof in decent condition, those beams and especially ceilings are in pretty bad condition - so that water came from somewhere. I get you might be rather different in expectations, but for me, that place needs lots of work and perhaps quite some investing before you can feel comfortable living there. Good luck, you'll get your dream home soon, I have no doubts! Stay safe! XO
Ryan, I wouldn’t give up and be discouraged. Sellers oftentimes look for a connection with a buyer where financing is not the only motivation. I’m a Realtor in the states where the majority of sales are a million dollars and up. Sometimes sellers go with a buyer who needs to get a mortgage over a buyer who can pay cash. So make an offer. You never know when another offer could be greatly discounted because it’s a cash offer. Until you get in the game you’ll never know. Hang in there!! xx
RYAN good Luck sweetie but as My Pioneer Granny always said “Baby if it is or was meant to be yours it will still be there for only You! Do not ever force anything because beyond the other side is the right one meant for you! Just be patient yours will come!” And she was so right Ryan, Be Patient if this home doesnt pan out the right one is waiting for you. Love and Light sweetie!!
Noooooo!!! Ryan you have no idea. This seemed absolutely perfect for you. The price was phenomenal. Owners might possibly go with you just because they like you and because your situation is close. You just never know. It’s not always about the money. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I can’t wait to hear that was really a phenomenal property today love from California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸
Can fully understand your excitement, Ryan. At that amazing price it seems that the seller is highly motivated to move it quickly. The adjacent outbuildings have character and could be rented out. Nice to know what can be had in France, thanks.
Also just cause folks have money in hand it is the owner to decide..Attaching a letter of why and what you would do with the place plus a small bio of yourself works wonders.
156 Euro equals $161,630 US ...In California, USA I paid more for a 1985 fixer, 900sf, ugly mobile home, no land, inside a small mobile home park...What an amazing deal. I'm rooting for you to get it. It is lovely,
All kinds of things could be said like, "if it's too good to be true, it is", but usually a depressed price means that something is wrong and it will take a pile of cash to fix it. Good luck!! Well bummer, you need to get a line of credit, for which you are going to need an established source of income, so you can move quickly on piece of property. Moisture, humm, sounds like there be fungus among us, which means that the heat was not kept constant and moisture crept in thru every crack and crevasse and promoted the growth of said fungi. Yup, I'd say it's a money pit.☹
I love the house, especially that grand front door and huge stone fireplace! It really has so much charm, though the neighbors seem a little close for a house of this scale out in the country. Perhaps that's typical in the French countryside. Would be interested to know what finally becomes of the place. Anyway, thanks for a fun video!
That house is a steal AND perfect for you as it is so close to Billy and gwen who are a massive support to you. Could you get a friend or family member to secure the property or give a bridging loan until the time is right for you? Thanks for sharing and best of luck x
Wow wow wow, love it Ryan, I’ve been trying to find it online to take a closer look but no luck, I would love it but my wife and kids probably don’t share my dream of living in France. It was heartbreaking to see and hear your mood change once you realised it was out of reach. Keep searching and make sure you have your ducks in a row so you can move fast should something like this come on the market again. Cheers. Neil
WOW! Yes, good value for getting so much to start building upon. But I agree that someone has already sweetened the pot by offering above asking price and it's already gone. Hope you get a chance at another fine property just as 'perfect' as this one in the future, Ryan!
Don't give up Ryan, still give it a try. If it is meant for you, you will get it. Don't give up. this one has your name on it. Good luck. I would still go for it.
Ryan, I think it might be significant that the owner has priced it so low. It could be that he is not obsessed with money. Possibly s/he might prefer a good owner. If the owner is French, only speak to him in French. I think it is important to native Frenchmen that a foreigher has made the effort to speak French. And your French is very good.. Assure him or her that you are experienced in rennovation and have a best friemd who owns the chateau next door where you have been working. A good personality goes a long way in a contested sales situation. Just convince the owner that you are the one to rennovate his former home. In the U.S. some owners will work with you on getting a loan or work out a payment scheme where the owner would be the loaner. If you feel this is your dream home, fight for it. Be passionate, excited, energetic. The Universe backs a passionate dreamer. Bonne chance.
Hey Ryan, down here in Sydney town that price would NOT even buy a one bedroom, no garage, unrenovated, 1970's unit in an undesirable part of the city on a main road. No seriously, I'm not kidding! The place you found is (for Sydneysiders) value for money in the extreme. If you don't get this one, then happy estate hunting!
Don’t give up completely, it’s worth pursuing, you’ve been given plenty of good advice here. If not, you’ve got time to get your finances in order for the next one..😘🙏🏻
With the ceiling showing damage on the main floor, must mean the upstairs is an even bigger mess. Meaning fixing it would add up to a lot of cash. It’s great if you can pay for it all but first time buyers generally can’t afford that type of expense .
I agree. Don't give up. The property market around the world is going crazy now. I have two people I know looking to buy. One in Australia, one in the UK. Both say unless you have the money ready. It is hard. But definitely don't give up. As I think the perfect property will be there for you x
I am so sad about the outcome of the property. I was really excited that it was reasonably priced and close to Billy. But God has a plan and you will have a property when the time is right.
That def seems like a steal and so close to your BFF Billy! I'm not giving up hope for you yet! You never know. They might like you best! If not, the right place will come along.
Don't give up Ryan, This one looks like it belongs to you. Sometimes people sell homes to buyers because they like the buyer more than they like money. Your connections to people who can help make the place beautiful again could sway the seller in your favour. Best of Luck!
Absolutely true sometimes. The place that I'm at now had other offers and people interested, but they went with us instead, because my sister-in-law wrote a passionate plea letter to the property owners personally. That made the difference. Not saying that works everytime, but it did for us. 😁
I got my house for the same reason, the seller wanted to sell to me. My friends were the same, even beating out a developer who had lots more cash.
I agree!! Same happened for us! Other higher offers wanted to fill in an inground swimming pool- we loved the property for the pool- pool had sentimental value to seller, they did not want in filled and demolished- we got the house!!!! Loved the pool, made seller happy!!
Write a letter if you cant meet sellers yourselves.
Besides its close to Billy!

Was just thinking the same thing. I hope you can buy it.

The house is lovely but it looks to me like the owners have set a low price in order to get into a bidding war.
It was beautiful but black mold is pretty serious! No telling what damage is done!
Wow, great property.
Don’t give up on your dream Ryan. My husband and I never thought we would own a home but 27 years ago our luck changed and we were able to get pre approved for a loan and we bought our home with only $2,000 US down.

Sometimes sales fall through. Don’t give up! You might put in a backup offer.
The whole set up is gorgeous! Snap it up Ryan!

Awe Ryan, I think this place is meant to be for YOU.
It would be stunning, when it’s renovated.
Fingers crossed, there could be a wish come true for You ❤
I wish I had the Money. I would buy it for You ❤

It's always so heartbreaking to have to pass on your first love, in your own time is best
THANKS FOR SHOWING US THE LOVELY MANOR HOUSE!!!
IN ADDITION TO YOUR MANY TALENTS, YOU ARE A GREAT REALTOR!!!
💖💖💖💖💖
Love how excited you guys get, it's contagious! Protect your enthusiasm & you will have everything your heart desires!
Thanks Ryan for showing us this. My dream is to buy a property abroad and learn as much as I can about the process. This makes me excited to start looking seriously. Love your videos! The right piece of property will happen for you, patience is the key!

I’ve been where you are where I wasn’t able to buy a house that I really wanted. But I’m still hoping something comes along that makes this happen for you. Cheers!
I'm so sorry Ryan, this would have been perfect for you as it is so close to Billy and Gwen. I know how disappointed you must feel. You are always so upbeat and optimistic about everything. I would be crying in my beer!! Don't give up. Your time will come too!
This home is much better than the previous one, in the city limits. It never hurt to look around to get the feel of the market prices around the area of the Chateau and Convent's areas. If and when you are ready, you have done your homework and you will be ready to buy.
I hope for a little miracle for you, it has your name all over it. Don't give up! 🥰
Wish you could have it. You deserve a place like this.
Here in Northern CA, even relatively small places with practically no yard, sell for half a million or more…. It’s amazing what one can purchase for that price in France! It’s fun to see what life is like in another country. I enjoy your channel.
You never know, for many sellers finding the right buyer is important and things fall through all the time. Home buying is up there with the most stressful of life happenings. Have faith, when it's right, you'll nail it 🤞
You've got the right attitude. Your dream property is still out there waiting to be discovered. It will come around when it's time. Hang in there and keep smiling.
Wow, so many orbs and misty figures in those photos. Very haunted. Nice looking place, though.
Its Sunday. I'm seeing a miracle to happen. Ryan get yourself pre- qualified!!
And pay the asking price or more.
Here in Portland Maine and surrounding area. That price is less than an acre of land.
You go Ryan. If anything this should motivate you to ponce on the next super property. Love ya
Keep looking Ryan! There is a house out there, just keep looking!
OM gosh! This is the perfect home for you! Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. I agree with SweetOne -- don't give up, I understand time is of the essence...maybe if you could meet with the Seller...
Wow!!! Under 200,000 for that home. I guess about 400,000. It is absolutely stunning. Chin up you will find the perfect property at the right time.
I’m Canada, you can’t even get an apartment for $260,000 let alone a property like that! What a find!
The new roof and windows do suggest the old ones were leaking badly, and that does show on the ceilings. Heaven knows what is between the floors and ceilings. It is beautiful, and if it is meant to be yours you will get it. If you don't get it then a place better for you will come at the right time. Thank you for sharing it.
Wow! I just commented on your last video, that the property there was the best one yet but this manor house with the outbuildings and large garden is exceptional. And the location is just perfect. I can see why you got so excited about it and why you were so disappointed at the end of the video. Don’t give up Ryan. France seems to be full of those property gems. Try to get your finances sorted first and in time you will get there. You are still very young. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Can’t hurt to try! You miss 100% of the shots you never take! This house is ideal!
Of course Alexander doesn't fancy to join you, he knows he'd be put on a window cleaning detail there. XO
Edit: Perhaps Billy got an idea what to gift you for Christmas. ;) On a serious note - If you love it that much and Billy can help you out get it, you can sort finances out later, I presume. On even more serious note - when something is too good to be true, there is usually a huge catch - and here it's pretty obvious. If current owners are going through difficult times and have to opt for bargain sale of their property, people who are in position to buy right away (and you stated it correctly - there are many cash buyers at this price), would snatch this first day of sale, let alone two weeks on. I fear there is more to this house that doesn't meet the eye, that being legal issues or structural/something else. For the roof in decent condition, those beams and especially ceilings are in pretty bad condition - so that water came from somewhere. I get you might be rather different in expectations, but for me, that place needs lots of work and perhaps quite some investing before you can feel comfortable living there. Good luck, you'll get your dream home soon, I have no doubts! Stay safe! XO
There is always a reason why properties are cheap. Usually, due to expensive renovation needed.
Ryan, I wouldn’t give up and be discouraged. Sellers oftentimes look for a connection with a buyer where financing is not the only motivation. I’m a Realtor in the states where the majority of sales are a million dollars and up. Sometimes sellers go with a buyer who needs to get a mortgage over a buyer who can pay cash. So make an offer. You never know when another offer could be greatly discounted because it’s a cash offer. Until you get in the game you’ll never know. Hang in there!! xx
This is quite encouraging. Your getting closer Ryan. The hunt is on.
RYAN good Luck sweetie but as My Pioneer Granny always said “Baby if it is or was meant to be yours it will still be there for only You! Do not ever force anything because beyond the other side is the right one meant for you! Just be patient yours will come!” And she was so right Ryan, Be Patient if this home doesnt pan out the right one is waiting for you. Love and Light sweetie!!
Noooooo!!! Ryan you have no idea. This seemed absolutely perfect for you. The price was phenomenal. Owners might possibly go with you just because they like you and because your situation is close. You just never know. It’s not always about the money. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I can’t wait to hear that was really a phenomenal property today love from California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸
Can fully understand your excitement, Ryan. At that amazing price it seems that the seller is highly motivated to move it quickly. The adjacent outbuildings have character and could be rented out. Nice to know what can be had in France, thanks.
Ah! They priced it low because they wanted a bidding war!
It really does look like an amazing property. You will definitely find a property that is perfect for you.
So glad to see you this weekend...Co-op buying??
Yes Billy go look at the property, Whiskey and Wine is a perfect combo😉🥰
Before I see is it 129,000
Also just cause folks have money in hand it is the owner to decide..Attaching a letter of why and what you would do with the place plus a small bio of yourself works wonders.
156 Euro equals $161,630 US ...In California, USA I paid more for a 1985 fixer, 900sf, ugly mobile home, no land, inside a small mobile home park...What an amazing deal. I'm rooting for you to get it. It is lovely,
You're right, it is so cheap. Makes you wonder what is wrong with it! I'd love it mind!!
Not having enough money when you want and need it REALLY SUCKS, as we all know, but don’t give up! Your home is waiting for you!
Go for it Ryan you will never know unless you try! I will be praying for you dear boy, that you get this property if it is God's will.
All kinds of things could be said like, "if it's too good to be true, it is", but usually a depressed price means that something is wrong and it will take a pile of cash to fix it. Good luck!! Well bummer, you need to get a line of credit, for which you are going to need an established source of income, so you can move quickly on piece of property. Moisture, humm, sounds like there be fungus among us, which means that the heat was not kept constant and moisture crept in thru every crack and crevasse and promoted the growth of said fungi. Yup, I'd say it's a money pit.☹
I love the house, especially that grand front door and huge stone fireplace! It really has so much charm, though the neighbors seem a little close for a house of this scale out in the country. Perhaps that's typical in the French countryside. Would be interested to know what finally becomes of the place. Anyway, thanks for a fun video!
That is a terrific price and property. Good luck.
That house is a steal AND perfect for you as it is so close to Billy and gwen who are a massive support to you. Could you get a friend or family member to secure the property or give a bridging loan until the time is right for you? Thanks for sharing and best of luck x
In my area that would be super cheap. I did notice that the big building to the right of the house is not pictured so likely not included.
Go and talk to your bank and see what happens. It's such a beautiful property and an incredible price. Go for it
Wow wow wow, love it Ryan, I’ve been trying to find it online to take a closer look but no luck, I would love it but my wife and kids probably don’t share my dream of living in France. It was heartbreaking to see and hear your mood change once you realised it was out of reach. Keep searching and make sure you have your ducks in a row so you can move fast should something like this come on the market again. Cheers. Neil
WOW! Yes, good value for getting so much to start building upon. But I agree that someone has already sweetened the pot by offering above asking price and it's already gone. Hope you get a chance at another fine property just as 'perfect' as this one in the future, Ryan!
Omg Wow That’s Dirt cheap , So hope you get it Ryan , I watch Billies UA-cam as well love his chateau, Can’t wait to watch you process as well !❤👍🌻🦋
Don't give up Ryan, still give it a try. If it is meant for you, you will get it. Don't give up. this one has your name on it. Good luck. I would still go for it.
Ryan, I think it might be significant that the owner has priced it so low. It could be that he is not obsessed with money. Possibly s/he might prefer a good owner. If the owner is French, only speak to him in French. I think it is important to native Frenchmen that a foreigher has made the effort to speak French. And your French is very good.. Assure him or her that you are experienced in rennovation and have a best friemd who owns the chateau next door where you have been working. A good personality goes a long way in a contested sales situation. Just convince the owner that you are the one to rennovate his former home. In the U.S. some owners will work with you on getting a loan or work out a payment scheme where the owner would be the loaner. If you feel this is your dream home, fight for it. Be passionate, excited, energetic. The Universe backs a passionate dreamer. Bonne chance.
Yes! Fight for it Ryan! Actually, CHARM them.
Great looking property but as you say right place wrong time. Don’t give up, your turn will come.🙏🏻❤️
Never give up on your dreams Ryan.
That is mold on the walls. Beauty but expensive to renovate before move in day. 😢
Hey Ryan, down here in Sydney town that price would NOT even buy a one bedroom, no garage, unrenovated, 1970's unit in an undesirable part of the city on a main road. No seriously, I'm not kidding! The place you found is (for Sydneysiders) value for money in the extreme. If you don't get this one, then happy estate hunting!
Don’t give up completely, it’s worth pursuing, you’ve been given plenty of good advice here. If not, you’ve got time to get your finances in order for the next one..😘🙏🏻
With the ceiling showing damage on the main floor, must mean the upstairs is an even bigger mess.
Meaning fixing it would add up to a lot of cash.
It’s great if you can pay for it all but first time buyers generally can’t afford that type of expense .
GO FOR ITTTTTTTTT RYAN!!! This is for you! 🙌🏽
Awww what a shame Ryan 😔 I'd be gutted but remember "when all else fails" try gain" 💜
I agree. Don't give up.
The property market around the world is going crazy now. I have two people I know looking to buy. One in Australia, one in the UK. Both say unless you have the money ready. It is hard. But definitely don't give up. As I think the perfect property will be there for you x
I am so sad about the outcome of the property. I was really excited that it was reasonably priced and close to Billy. But God has a plan and you will have a property when the time is right.
That def seems like a steal and so close to your BFF Billy! I'm not giving up hope for you yet! You never know. They might like you best! If not, the right place will come along.
This is perfect Ryan! You must have it!!!!!!
Hang in there Ryan! When it's right it will be RIGHT!🙂
Keep trying Ryan, you will find something 🤞🤞
wow, what a nice place. Love it.. and yes,, I think it's a steal at that price..
Ryan my fingers are crossed for you hope you have some luck with it x💕🌼🤗
Ryan it cost’s nothing to inquire about it. You never know the seller may be looking for someone who will love it. Praying for it to work out
Putting positive vibes out there for you Ryan...good luck!! 🤗🇦🇺🙏🤘
Good luck Ryan fingers crossed
156K is very cheap, even with some renovation.
