Well, I have no reason to rush anything, so slow and steady works just fine with me. In the past, my "all in" so to say was actually always more forced by situation or the pace of the other person, not really me. No rush here, as we live close to eachother, I really don't even care to get married, and I am done having kids. I put a roof over my own head. Kind of...…
I forgot to mention I found out yesterday my house is going under contract this week. My neighbor and I were walking in our houses at the same time and she asked me what I am doing about this whole situation and she is the one who told me the house is going under contract, one side owner occupied, which means one of us goes. ANd that they want $500 more a month. She found out from her realtor, not even our landlord. So I called my land lord and he stuttered a bit. I asked when he was going to tell me. He made some excuses. I asked how he is protecting us and our lease terms and he didn't have an answer for that. he said the lawyers are working it out. He said since I was so supportive, he would make sure I "get something". I asked him to keep me apprised of the proceedings, since I have no where to go with my daughter. he agreed. So I'll be in Niagara while the negotiate under attorney review.
So, of course, here is another wrench in my life. I didn't expect it this soon. The market is awful right now and I was hoping the bubble would burst soon. The prices are ridic and there really isn't anything out there. I had hoped my first time buy by myself didn't have to be a forced hand. And there is nothing for rent here that is remotely affordable.
