Good morning, everyone. Chris and I had our CRP and first aid training on Saturday, so that's another requirement met. Our pool fence will be installed next Monday. Then, we just need to finish up a couple safety things around the house, and we'll be ready for the inspection.
After the classes on Saturday, we met with a realtor to look at 3 houses in Glenarm Farms (in Avondale about a mile from our house). It's such a great area; all the houses have huge lots filled with trees, grass, horses, cows, goats, and chickens. We'd like to have more land, so that's why we were taking a look at these homes. We really like two of the properties--one has .6 acre and one has nearly an acre. Unfortunately, the homes need major upgrading. The .6 acre one was built in 1974, and the acre one was built in 1988. Plus, they're very expensive--between $450,000 and $495,000. We don't want to have a huge house payment, so we'll likely just stay put.
We're considering selling our 4-plex in Sunnyslope. If we could get some money out of that, we could either use it to buy a new home or put the money down on the new condo so the payment will be lower. I spoke to a realtor about listing Sunnyslope, and he was a bit negative. It's such a bad area, it's not really appealing for buyers. Luckily, we're not desperate to sell it. If we get a good offer, then great, but if not, we'll just keep running it.
Currently reading . . . the new Janet Evanovich--Lean Mean Thirteen. It's fun as usual.
I'll keep you posted! j
