What better way to start blogging than with our first house experience. So this is how it all started...
Our lease was coming up soon so I got the usual pre-new lease itch to see what was on the market. A pretty two story house, with an amazing double porch, down the street was for sale. I decide what the heck, it's in a area I can't afford anyway might as well take a look. <- I hope my realtor doesn't read this. An thus, we meet Bobby the best agent we have had so far. So I take a look at the house which is absolutely gorgeous inside and out with a fenced in back yard, too!
Well, I have seen it now time to go sign my new lease, right? If only it had been that simple, but no. Right down from there is a house set on a corner lot with a goofy tin roof. For some reason I really notice the house this time as I wait for a break in the traffic. It has an empty look to it so I call Bobby to see if he knows anything about it. Turns out it is in the process of being foreclosed, but is not available right now.
So I quietly stalk my house for some signs that is will finally enter the market. At last! A paper tapped to the front door stating it was finally completely owned by Fannie Mae. So as soon as we can see it I take the grand tour. MMmm yummy mold or mildew or something all over the outside of the house under the porch roof and around the door. Oh, good my search is over I can go back to my comfy apartment dweller existence.
