I moved to SD in 2003. Thought I wanted to buy but couldn’t afford anything I wanted to live in. I was a little shocked at the prices people were paying and couldn’t understand the mania or where the money was coming from.
In early 2006 I saw a link to this site on craigslist, read the primer and was hooked. I can’t believe that my 3 yrs 11 wks makes me an old timer. Over the years I probably haven’t contributed much of value but have taken a lot.
Still haven’t bought but looking to buy. If I do buy it will probably be a fixer and then I’ll be soliticiting advice for ways to save money on the renovation or maybe looking for contractor references.
