scaredycat in escrow….scared….

[svelte]

[quote=scaredycat]i have a journal-type thing I have done for 15 years. every 6 months or so, I draw up a list called THINGS I AM WORRIED ABOUT. Then I list everything that is weighing on my mind. I save the lists in a box of saved stuff. it is hilarious to read old lists of things you worry about. Like NOTHING i have ever worried about i my life has ever ended up being an actual problem! literally NOTHING. weird. [/quote]

Lol – I’ve suspected the same thing about my worries for some time. The journal is a great idea…I just might try that too.

Take care

Scaredy, you didn’t call yourself scaredycat for no reason, right? That may be your answer ;).

I would be interested in hearing your worry-list from 1998 or 1999, right before the stock market bubble burst. Or some assorted years of your choice.

Oh, and do tell what website you used to buy the house!

BUY THIS HOUSE !

This is a no-brainer.

Although, there are always some risks (house flattened by earthquake, zombie attacks, etc),

I am not suggesting that being a landlord is the purpose. The rent/own comparison helps evaluate risk of depreciaiton and also serves as a fall-back plan. You are highly unlikely to go wrong on a property that would rent for a couple hundred bucks more than your payment, for a few reasons:

1. Rent-ownership equilibrium tends to put a floor on prices.
2. If you find yourself in a bind, you can always rent it out.
3. Your doctor wife is likely to be able to help afford a mortgage of $1500, even if we institute socialized medicine.

This is a No Brainer (which also tends to keep zombies away, being that they really like to eat brains)

[quote=scaredycat]i think this place would rent for between $1,750 – $2,200 per month. But I might be wrong. I do not want to be a landlord. I want to grow persimmons and raise chickens.[/quote]
