House Sale Progress

Jun

2004

My house is going up for sale on Tuesday, priced at $149,900 and would
make a great starter home for anyone looking to get out of the renting
cycle.

I had a handyman service out this morning to repair the gutter that
Comcast Cable broke off of the house while climbing to fix the cable
connection. That side of the house now looks as good as new.


I'm still fighting with the mortgage companies over up front costs on the
new house. I find it amazing that they'll do 125% *2nd* mortgages, but are
terrified of people who want to avoid putting money down when buying. I
just prefer to hold on to the money myself (3 years of mortgage payments
in the bank is much better for my financial security than $300 off of my
payments). I had one lender tell me that they "can't" do 80/20 mortgages
in Minnesota. But they'll do 95% and charge me PMI.

I'll just be glad when this is over.
