Thread: Need help finding a new lake house Please

Jacks place is in the first cut on right just as you enter the Gravois arm. Just idle around in the vicinity and follow your nose to the garlic scent and you will find it. LOL

There is a big auction in May by me. The old Big Thunder Marina is being auctioned off. Theres 3 houses and 5 or so cabins all going up. I will attach a pic for ya its kinda fuzzy but you can see the auction company info. Not to mention damn good fishing in buck creek

A good approach is to contact a real estate agent you or someone you know trusts. They will send info on a regular basis. I've got one I've been working with. Email me if you want his name ... [email protected].

Based off what I saw for sale in the cove you said Jack lives in, I think they're just a tad out of my price range. And by a tad, I mean a lot. lol Thanks for the heads-up, though!

The Big Thunder auction is very interesting, so many thanks for that info! I will look into it. The thing about auctions is that you usually need to have the cash with no financing...not sure how much I can come up with, plus I'll still be out of the country...will have my family look into it.

If the homes in the auction are what you are looking for, do not give up if you cannot make arrangements to bid by securing a loan commitment/have enough cash etc. Often these properties will go to persons who renovate and offer them for sale. You may not get the deep deal but you won't have the hassle of fixing them either. Have someone from the family contact the auctioneer and explain your situation. Most are very accommodating if it is not at the day of the sale when things are crazy.

Here is another good agent. My wife and I used him when we started looking about 7 years ago. Dennis (agent) was not pushy and we found real easy to work with. He lives down near the dam and is an avid fisherman himself.
