I am sorry for the silence during the last few months but it seems that lately every day brings a different change to my life. Since I last wrote, I went from trying to purchase the house I was living in, to moving out in three weeks and staying with friends while I try to find my/our new home.
It has been a roller coaster of an experience and one with a lot of learning with it. House values, taxes, closing costs, trying to find a place that has everything on your list. On top of it all packing up your home and saying goodbye to a place that you thought you would be living in for a long time.
That in itself has turned into a nightmare. Dealing with a person who has never been a landlord before has turned into a hot mess. It makes me realize that I truly no longer want to rent a house or an apartment. I want a place that I can call my own. That after thirty years will be mine and I have something to show for the money I have put into it.
After some searching, I think I have found three potential new homes. Right now I am just waiting a little bit to see what my future holds before I start to make the final decision and start the bidding process. I am not one to make bets, and this whole process of bidding for a house makes me uneasy. But I am being told that it is all part of the game.
