Sounds like a good move, Al.. Having your own home is a comfort, doesnt matter that its not a palace,, its a real comfort. I bought a trailer 28 years ago & havent rented a place since. & No, Ive never had anything spectcular,, the best we ever landed wa a 3 bed, 2 bath, brick, w/ fireplace & 2 car garage. I bought it when I was unemployed,,my wife didnt even get to look at it, she didnt even know I was buying a house,, she dang near left me over that one,,, But ,, a few year later, when she was over it all,, she was happy,, I HAD to step up & take it, t was a Non-qualifying, assumable loan,, & thats the Only way we were gonna have that nice of a place. I was the 2nd of about 50 who answered the ad. The first guy didnt get the $$$ to the guy advertising it, I did.

Hey! Youll demoralize Lancer,,,

Thanks guys. I got a really good deal on the place. The guy that owned it had to move in with his elderly dad to take care of him. The house was for sale for a year at 25,900. After paying lot rent,taxes, insurance and all that stuff for a year, he dropped the price to 15,900. I offered him 12,000 and he jumped on it. After we signed all the paperwork he told me that he would have taken alot less. The only reason I was able to do this for here was because my mom passed away over the winter and left me a little money. I put some away for me to retire someday, and I know my mom would have wanted me to help out my daughter. So that what I did.

AL

good for you!
Glad she appreciates it for a parent it doesn't get much better than that.

Money well spent!!!!!

Smoke alarrms are great, but a few fire extinguishers sure make things nice, too..
I had a few, & my daughter brought an IDIOT home,, who pulled the pins & shot 2 of them,, Id pull that morons pin if I ever s him again,, dickhead,
