Jumping with no net
I found this tiny, disheveled shack in the town I work in. It's for sale for $35,000, and on about .5 acres. I need $3,500 down right off the jump to buy this house. I can't describe how badly I need and want this. It's close enough to my work that I wouldn't even have to drive, or worry about a car for transport.
When my girlfriend gets evicted, she could just move in with the Chihuahuas. It would be hard as fuck, but the payments would be considerably low.
I just looked at a run-down, beat up studio apt that has a room smaller than most bedrooms, and it's $350 a month. That's fuckin shitty, considering I could possibly get into this other place to buy for $500 a month, and pay it off in about 7 years.
I don't know what the fuck to do. This is awful, and I have to be out of my dad's fucked up rental by next week!
I met the guy with the house this morning, and he was pretty sincere, and not sheisty in the least. He and his buddy were waiting for me to show the house, and they rode in on Harley's and everyday clothes. Not some slick, shady greedy shit head.
The house is small, and super old, pretty fucked up, but nothing beyond my realm of fixing, and maybe even eventually adding on to, or even building something else. Maybe I'm getting too ahead of myself. Maybe I should give up and be the typical pessimist that I always have been, but I don't know. It just seems like the almost perfect set of circumstances, and really the only way that I could get into a house - for a very long time. I could have this paid off before I'm forty, and that would just be awesome. I don't know what to do
