Lee and I are looking for a house. We have been renting a quite leany, moldy, but full of love house for $400 a month. We realized that with our credit and the way the market is right now, we could buy a house for cheaper than that a month and we would own the property. It seems a lot better than throwing money down the hole.
So, here comes the search for the house. We have $400 a month to spend, so that means we can afford a $70,000 house. (Alabama has great real estate prices.)
We want one that is in need of cosmetic repairs, with a fenced backyard. It needs to have at least 3 bedrooms and at least 1.5 baths.
We are going to talk to a realtor in the morning. So she can give us the skinny.
I am enjoying my new job as a reference assistant. My wonderful patrons keep asking me if I was promoted. As I think promotion means a pay raise, I was only moved, not promoted.
It is fun looking up things for people all day though.
So, nobody will read this huh? Guess again! 'Cause I love you and I care about what happens to you. Ask Ronnie who might have a house for sale, and check the foreclosures at the courthouse for bargains, many short sales. One house recently sold here in Falkville on the same street as the school for less than $30k. I'm sure there are others. Don't give up. Gov't resale houses in Hartselle are listed in today's Decatur Daily. Will keep an eye and ear open for you. Keep me updated. By the way, did either of the furniture newsflashes I sent you pan out?
ReplyDeleteHey Aunt Jeets!
ReplyDeleteon the furniture, by the time I got the message and drove by there, they were gone. Thank you so much though. I think we are okay with the couch we have now. It'll hold out a bit longer.
Love you!
