Suffolk County Houses We've Bought
Five Suffolk County houses Mike Plactere bought directly from their owners. Sellers' names stay private; these are the towns and what happened.
Wading River
The seller needed a fast sale for family reasons and asked to close in about three weeks, so we closed on his schedule. He moved out of state afterward. We renovated the inside of the house, a small ranch, with new floors, a new kitchen and a new bathroom. Mike still owns it as a rental.
Huntington Station
We bought a house in Huntington Station, renovated it and sold it to a new owner.
Wyandanch
Another buyer had the house under contract at a high price, played games over the inspection and tried to resell the contract. When that didn’t work, they backed out. Mike had told the seller plainly that the other buyer was a wholesaler. The seller then sold the house to us, with the tenant in place: a Section 8 tenant of about 15 years. The tenancy continued after we bought it, and Mike still owns the house.
Mastic Beach
The seller had been through a hard personal loss and wanted a fresh start upstate. He chose our offer over a higher one and moved out quickly, leaving the house full of belongings. We cleared it out, painted, redid the bathroom and replaced the roof. A shed sat too close to the house under Town of Brookhaven rules and had to be legalized. It was too heavy to move, so we took it down. Mike still owns the house as a rental.
Bellport
This was Mike’s first purchase, a ranch that came to him through a real estate agent. Years of heavy smoking had stained the walls, and the house had a pest problem. We renovated it top to bottom. Mike still owns it as a rental.
