Zhang Yu knew some people thought she was a fool, and sometimes she felt quite foolish too.
But she consoled herself with the thought that maybe fools have their own kind of luck.
After meeting up with the realtor she had been in contact with, Zhang Yu quickly followed behind to view the houses.
Even though there were more sellers now, there were also plenty of buyers.
Several properties Zhang Yu had considered were sold before she made up her mind.
The layouts were nice, but when it came to buying a house, it was still important to see it in person.
After seeing several houses with the realtor, Zhang Yu eventually picked one that was over her budget.
Originally, she wanted to buy a house that didn’t cost more than fifty thousand, but although this place was a one-bedroom, it was a one-bedroom with a living room, albeit the light in the living room depended on what came through the kitchen and bathroom.
But the light was still decent, the kitchen was fine, and the bathroom too.
All in all, after looking at it, Zhang Yu was truly satisfied, especially with the school district and the surrounding amenities.
If you considered the potential for appreciation, it really was a good deal, but the only problem was that the house cost eighty thousand.
Of course, this didn’t scare Zhang Yu away.
Even though it was a bit expensive, this house, being a one-bedroom with a living room, absolutely had no trouble renting out.
It was over the budget, but if she wanted to sell it later, that wouldn’t be a problem either, especially since the rental income was high.
She could rent it out for at least eight hundred.
Zhang Yu glanced at it, “If I buy this house, can you help me rent it out?”
The realtor had known before that the buyer worked out of town and would likely continue renting out the house after purchasing it.
But those were future discussions, and they did not expect to be talking about renting it out right now.
“Of course.”
“Since you work out of town and things might break, I can help with the repairs,” the realtor offered, thinking of the substantial commission and volunteering the service.
After all, it would only involve being busy a few times, no big deal.
Proactive and enthusiastic realtors like this were truly rare, and Zhang Yu had been worried about what to do if things broke and she had to handle the repairs.
But here was the realtor, being so adorable.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yu said, “Alright, after the house is rented out, I’ll give you fifty a month.”
“And if things need to be replaced, we’ll go with actual costs.” She couldn’t expect someone to work for free.
If they helped once, that was once; twice was twice.
They wouldn’t help every single time.
After agreeing on the compensation, Zhang Yu asked a crucial question, “Does this house have a residency registration attached to it?”
“That?” These days, homebuyers didn’t concern themselves with this issue, and of course, the realtor wouldn’t have bothered to ask either.
Seeing his expression, Zhang Yu knew he probably didn’t know.
Alright, current homebuyers were only fixated on transaction costs, prices, and so on, without caring about residency registration.
But who was Zhang Yu?
How could she not know?
“After I buy the house, I need to move my registration in.”
“I don’t want there to be someone else’s registration on the property when I buy it.”
“Right now, as long as the house isn’t being demolished, there’s no big problem, but if it were to be demolished, would they still have a share in it?”
The realtor felt like Zhang Yu was thinking too much, but she was the buyer after all, and it was normal for her to be extra cautious.
“I’ll ask about it.”
Zhang Yu hummed in acknowledgment, “Right, tell them if the registration is moved, I can buy the house right away.”
With such a great location and layout, it really wouldn’t worry about renting.
As for selling the property in the future, that’s even less of a worry, with a good school district house, who would fret?
Especially since the bedroom is quite large, it’s possible to split it into two rooms.
Zhang Yu is getting more and more satisfied with this house.
If it weren’t for a duplex waiting for her, she’d really want to buy a new property every year.
But no matter, starting to work hard to earn money now, aiming to become a landlady is also feasible.
The agent excitedly returned to the office and looked up the contact information of the property owner, quickly getting in touch with them.
Zhang Yu also wore a face full of anticipation, hoping to settle the house on the first day of the new year and save herself the trouble of running around.
Then, once the property was hers, she could rent it out, maybe making a few thousand, and have money for the New Year.
It wasn’t long before the agent, with a happy tone, hung up the phone, “Sister Zhang, there are no residents registered at that address.”
“Really no household registrations?”
“I will have to go to the police station to check.” After all, it wasn’t just about taking the other party’s word for it.
After all, when it involved future matters, Zhang Yu was absolutely not careless.
The agent nodded affirmatively again, “Right, there are no household registrations.”
Good, Zhang Yu decisively went to the nearby police station to inquire about the situation.
The staff at the police station were startled upon hearing Zhang Yu’s request, “You’re asking whether there’s a household registration attached?”
Zhang Yu nodded, “Right, if there are household registrations now and they don’t move them later, what would I do if I want to sell the house in a few years and discover that there are several people registered, who then demand that I move them?”
“Besides, the school is good.
If those registered people continue to live here and then enroll in school, I wouldn’t even know about it.”
“All I want to know is whether there are any household registrations.
As for the details, I don’t care.”
As for how many people were registered or who specifically they were, Zhang Yu didn’t really care since that was the seller’s concern.
The police thought for a moment, and without revealing any details, helped Zhang Yu check, “There are no household registrations for anyone.”
The results came quickly, “And no one has ever been registered at this address.”
No one has ever been registered?
Zhang Yu hadn’t expected the owner to have never moved in after renovating, just felt like saying that they must indeed be wealthy.
Now that she knew there were no household registrations attached to the property, Zhang Yu quickly went back to the agent and briskly stated, “I’ll take the house.”
Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s definitive response, the agent let out a long sigh of relief; although the owner had assured there were no registrations, these days one can’t always take people at their word, and it’s best to check for oneself.
Even though this approach was something only Zhang Yu had brought up, the agent thought it necessary to ask landlords more often in the future and, if possible, to verify with the police station as well.
Otherwise, having unknown people’s registrations attached to one’s property was a thoroughly unsettling prospect.
Zhang Yu didn’t realize that her actions had set an example in the agent’s eyes, who would later adopt the same measure.
If she knew, she could only think that this young man had promise, seeing from her actions what needed to be done, which was to handle matters diligently.
Right now, what made her happy was, “I’ll sign the contract today, pay for the house, and find out when the property transfer will take place, as well as when I can move my household registration here.”
Once the property was sorted, her registration would be moved from Zhang Dagu’s household book.
After that, this couple would no longer be able to tie her down.
“The first day back at work,” the agent said after a moment’s consideration.
Zhang Yu hummed in agreement, “Good, the sooner the household registration is moved, the more at ease I’ll be.”
Otherwise, as long as the household registration wasn’t relocated, Zhang Yu would always be somewhat worried.
