Short sale wasn't so short...
Months ago, Adam and I put our faith in a short sale. Most of the homes in California are short sale or foreclosures, so we didn't have much choice as "available now" homes are hard to come by. After months of dealing with 3 lien holders on this home and renting it for $1 a month, banks will not approve what the lien holders want to do. Now what to do???
Earlier this week, I looked at a home that was ok and on the bright side was an "available now" home. Adam and I went back and looked at it today. We decided to discuss it over Chili's beer and margaritas. We had to come to the conclusion to make an offer on the ho hum house if the lien holders wouldn't drop their craziness.
Then Adam had a brilliant idea to go look at some new construction, "move in ready" homes not far from our rental house. Come to find out they had put the model homes on the market today. That wasn't the best part. The most amazing thing ever was that they came fully furnished. Yes, every fancy nancy piece of furniture, bedding, window covering, everything was included. I felt like I had stepped into a magazine. After hours of deliberation between the two of us and our realtor, we made an offer on this gorgeous 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2 car garage, with guest suite home. Hopefully by tomorrow we receive a counter offer from the builder. If all goes well on this home, we will be selling all of our current furniture and moving just our clothes, dishes, etc. into this beautiful home by the middle of December!! I feel like finally something is going our way!! Please keep us in your prayers that this works well for us! We miss all of you everyday!! Love y'all <3
