Now why do you presume I was being bad? As a matter of fact, I was VERY busy and living out of a suitcase for over six weeks and did not always have Internet access.
Not sure if I told you this or not, but back the first of January a rattlesnake got in my garage and that was the final straw. I put my house on the market and decided to move. It was on the market for almost six months with very few showings but in July I got a call from my agent that someone had offered me full price for it. I have no idea when the lady looked at it because there had been no showings in weeks.
Well to make a long story short, I had to put my furniture in storage while I found another place to buy. I eventually found a foreclosed condo that needed a lot of work but I was able to buy it for about $40,000 under market value. There were holes in the walls, everything was filthy and it reeked of cigarette smoke. I hesitated on buying it but it had so many quality features I liked. It has beautiful hardwood and ceramic tile floors, the bedrooms are bigger than what I had in the house and even has a sunroom which I am thoroughly enjoying. I have lots of kitchen cabinets and there are even granite counter tops and a big laundry room. I only have a one car garage but it is oversize so works very well. All in all it turned out to be a good buy.
I hired someone to repair the holes in the walls and paint everything. I also hired a company who came in and ran some type of equipment that eliminated the smoke odor and a lady to clean so now I am settled again and I told my kids that if I ever say anything about moving again to kick my behind.
I decided on a condo because I never felt comfortable when I traveled because the house was in the country and I always worried about someone breaking in, even though I had a security system. One of my new neighbors told me he has lived here eight years and in that time there has never been a break in. The lady over the HOA came to visit and she told me everyone looks out for everyone here.
It's a beautiful complex and the atmosphere here is very calm and peaceful.
