Home, repossessed home
In our search for a lease house, we have so far looked at...ZERO houses for lease!
We have found a couple nice for sale homes that we're going to look at again tomorrow. One is a foreclosure home that has some obvious problems, even without an inspection. The yard is bigger, though, as is the house. I like the feel of it, but it's priced higher than I'm willing to pay. I'm assuming that we can get it for significantly less than asking, but I'm not sure how low I can offer without getting laughed at.
The other house is smaller, although nowhere near small. The yard is small. It has an extra bedroom that we don't need. The price is right, and would be even better after negotiations. The owner showed us around, and they are ready to move quickly, I think.
We're suddenly in the position of needing to buy a house, fast, since apparently this leasing thing is going nowhere. We purposely left leasing to the last minute, but for buying, we should have started this process months ago. At least we did some looking, at neighborhoods and schools and such, before we chose to lease.
At least I've finally gone from apathy to interest. That's a big step, right?
