I agree with all of that… that is a big driving factor in why I would like to live there 🙂

I may be a bit whiney 😉 but I can afford what I can afford and for me to pull the trigger it has to be the middle bowl of porridge: juuuuust right!

I don’t want a fixed up home, I want a fixer upper or something that has ‘good bones’ that is livable but needs updating.

Example of a house I would’ve liked, but CASH buyer:

I also feel like the few Real Estate agents I have briefly worked with are all like (lol): I don’t do foreclosures or much of anything, here is the Sandicor sight with some numbers I plugged in, call me when you like something.

I guess I thought the RE was supposed to have some insights or some hookups or call me up and say OMG this is so you, come check it out. If we act fast maybe we have a shot at beating out CASH or conventional financing. I don’t, something for $10K!

I do a lot of lurking on this sight and watching what is on sale and what is sold 🙂
