Subject: Re: Tuesday Chat 06.14.11 by TommyT-Bone on 2011/6/14 11:56:51 Yesterday I accompllished alot of nothin. Did some web surfing for real eatate to see what's around. Found one prospect but it already has a contract on it. I'm trying to get one or two streets back off the main roads. I like my streets with less traffic and quiet. I've been house hunting for quite awhile. Number one it has to be a good deal. Number two is finding houses that meet our needs at a cost we can afford. I don't want to live working my ass off for my next house. If it comes, it comes, if it doesn't we still have a roof over our heads. Might have to do some cruising through a few neighborhoods I like. Lots of folks are still asking more than market value. I've been checking out REOs too. With an acre or more we can get an Ag exemption in some places. That saves alot in tax money. I want it fairly close to the nursery so we can get there in 5 minutes or so. The hunt continues. I 'm still considering building a house/garage/office on the second property. That may well be the best option. Lots of people stung by the real estate downturn. They're upside down with no hope of getting their asking price. They're caught in the dreams of yesterday. The economy is still in a sad state of affairs. I'm trying to move while the movin is good. Meanwhile a pile of houses sit vacant because the banks are controlling the flow of foreclosed properties so that they don't drive down the price. Some people are living free for multiple years because the banks take no action. Maybe I should do that with a McMansion. Get in, don't make any payments and live there till they boot me out. Don't think people aren't doing it. What the hell is wrong with people.  |
