I am not sure if I should do a formal letter announcing my intention to not be accessible to him, or if I should just not respond to texts/phone calls/IMs...or if I should be always business like and not ever be here at the house if he is going to be here.....
Looked at more houses today. YUCK,YUCK and more YUCK. *sigh*
Buuuut, I also went and looked at a rental that is around $1000 LESS than a comparable houses' mortgage. (IOW, rent is $1500 and if I purchased the house the mortgage would be $2500.) The owner will want to sell in about a year. It's at the top of my price range and normally I would really want to own, but saving $1000/mo is signifigant-and I don't think I would be saving that much by having the tax write off and I don't anticipate a lot of appreciation next year, so there is no loss there (compared to homeownership). This way I can get into the house, see if it's a good fit and see if I can save the extra $1000/mo. If I can, then I will know I can afford the mortgage. It is SOOOOOO cute.
I was really scared to call and tell the owner that I wanted it; but I just did call and told him. My first step in that direction!!! EEK! Next step start seriously packing. Next step after that-rent a PODS and put stuff in there.
Wow. Am I really doing this??
