So I got pre-approved for a mortgage, then went and looked at my dream house that I've been wanting for the past 20 years. The house next door to my apartment building. An old retired couple lived there forever, and they finally had to go to an assisted-living facility. I've been waiting for this for 20 years.
Looked at the house, and it's pretty grim. Then I found out that in the two days it's been listed, there are already two offers. I'm not going to get into a bidding war for a house in this kind of condition, even though the potential for greatness is there. Quelle disappointment.
Man that would have been too easy, though, if I could have moved next door I could move without even having to rent a van, and my cat's prowling territory wouldn't even change. It could have been so painless.
