home for years.
We looked at one more yesterday...needs many updates, and I am just not feeling it. The same family (parents, then their son) have lived in it since it was built around 1969. There is still 1970s linoleum in the hallway, wallpaper, the carpet needs to come out. It has that older person living in the home smell. They want to sell as is, too.
I know we could "make it our own", but I just don't see living there for 20 or so years and loving it there.
And in our price range, that is the last possible home for us to look at now.
There was another fabulous home - turnkey - but right on Riverside, and Marty needs quiet if he wishes to record music. He is about to release a new album too.
Other than that, we would need to go higher. I may talk to a CPA to talk about using some savings to reduce our debt, and then it would be built back up through home equity, and would give us breathing room.
We've been looking in the 550K range. Anything below that is too small, next to I-5, or is a fixer upper. :(
We may have to think about looking more towards $620K but I think that's a stretch.
So, I am so disappointed right now :(
