My Short Sale Nightmare!!!

By all means buy a house. As Marion implies, any child who can’t depend on their parents to provide a stable home because the family is renting needs all the help they can get. If Mom and Dad feel that they are failures because they are renting,…well, just how screwed up is that kid going to be? It’s far better to make any sacrifice you must to provide a house for a newborn baby because you know how often those latent childhood memories twist around and make them hate their parents!
Since the current level of home ownership is unprecedented, I’d guess up to a third of the readers grew up while their parents rented,…and look at what a miserable bunch they are. By the way, don’t forget the designer clothes for the baby, you want your child to start off on top in the status game.

"It seems that you love the house so much & you don’t care about losing money as long as you get to live near your brother. In this case, you should make it easy on everyone (including the lender & yourself) by offering $350k. After all, it’s only money, right ? :-)"

GN,
Why stop at 350k? Why don’t I just offer the bank a million bucks, a hand job and my first born child!

Oh, I know why! Because the bank would have the house appraised and even if I threw in the handjob and the baby I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t consider the value worth 350k let alone a million!

(The hand job, maybe, but certainly not the house. LOL.)

Since I’m sooo interested in making it easy on everyone, I’ll go ahead and offer 350k for a 290k house!

Then when they come back with a no, I’ll shower them with the same words of wisdom you graced me with and reply to them, “After all, it’s only money right?”

P.S.

I was kidding about the handjob! The only guy I’m jacking off for a house is the one who put the ring on my finger! LOL!

"My question to you: If you bought a house for 280/290k and end-of-year or next year it fell to 200k, would that ruin you? What if in 20 years it went back up to 250k?

Next question: You buy for 280k. But end of year your dream house that was 400k fell to 280k. Are you going to be okay w/the place you bought?"

Submitted by jpinpb on March 14, 2008 – 3:57pm.

JPINPB,

No, it certainly wouldn’t ruin us. This house is just a starting point for us.

As our family grows, we will buy another house down the line and use this one as a rental property or a second home.

Right now, my goal is to just buy a starter home as soon as possible for a price as cheap as possible, one that I can pay off in 10-15 years and own it outright, free and clear.

Dare I say, I don’t ever plan on selling this house? I know there might be some unforeseen things that may happen – but, for the most part I am buying this house with the intentions of a long, long, long term investment.

This is not a house that I’m planning to make money off of. It’s not a house I plan to flip. This is not a house I plan on putting a lot of money into for renovations, it doesn’t need it.

I am looking at this house with the intentions of still owning it when I retire and passing it down to our kids.

I’m not banking my future on the the value of this house doubling nor will I really lose any sleep over the house being upside down either.

What I do lose sleep over is the 55 year old nymphomaniac neighbor next door and all the tax breaks I’m giving up for the luxury of getting to share a wall with her!
