today was a great day, my fiance and i have a contract on a house on an acre in a semi rural area and we have been dealing with appraisals, inspections, paperwork, deposits..etc ect.. but still weren't 100% finally approved for the mortgage. The broker would say "nothing yet...call back around 4pm" then it was "nothing yet, should know something tomorrow..." day after day.
We scheduled closing for the 30th of this month and since we didn't have a final approval everything was in limbo as far as packing and preparing for a move, the time kept growing shorter and shorter...and we were totally stressed out.
The sellers had a contract on a house in another state contingent on the sale of this one , plus they had already had 1/2 of their house packed up ready to go...
finally today my fiance calls me at works and says "BABY!!!!!!!!!!! WE GOT THE HOUSE!!!!!!!"
it's nothing fancy, matter of fact it's a 1998 singlewide MH. but it's in excellent condition, all new everything and immaculate inside. But, the mortgage payment wont be real high ($800/mo) , the insurance and taxes are low, it's sitting on a great property on a dead end paved road, the whole acre is chain linked and gated, it's within 1/2 mile of the river and boat launch where you can get onto the atlantic, intracoastal or any one of dozens of creeks.
so next week we can move out of this ghetto neighborhood and out to the peace and quiet where i can let my daughter outside to play in the yard without fear of her getting shot or kidnapped, we can work on getting our chickens and pigs
and work on being as self sufficient as possible meaning building solar water heater, installing solar panels, wind generators, starting an aquaponics system etc ect...
Ok i'm finished ranting now, i'm just so relieved..if you're one of those people who never thought you could get a house of your own and then you actually did, you understand how I feel
