I bought a house in the middle of two T-junctions like this: [–$*$–]; it has brought me so much good luck, so far. Sometimes I imagine I am the female version of Forrest Gump; destiny keeps dumping blessings and good luck along the way despite long odds. Good karma – please keep them coming.
Now do I have to convince the husband to lop off that young tree nicely growing but facing the front door?
If all the stars align again beautifully, we will close on a second house very near downtown Austin around beginning of November at the lowest-record locked fixed rates at $67/sq ft, brand new, stone/brick elevation, and all-appliances included.
Rationale for buying? The 401K plan has become untrustworthy, in my eyes. The house substitutes as a 401K-savings vehicle from now on.
