House Buying Woes

This is a picture of the house I was sure was going to work out. I thought that it needed some work, but not gonna be to bad. When I went out there with the Realtor, we both thought, "wow, what a strong Skunk smell." I wrote it off because it was in the woods. When we came back and went under the house for inspection, we found a skunk lair! The plumbing was leaking...well.. you take a look. Even my Realtor said that he could not live with himself if he recommended that I make an offer.

Buying a place to live out here is extremely difficult. I am limited in many different ways. Because of Cooper, I need to find a place that allows dogs, and that has plenty of room for him to run. That leaves houses in town that start around $375. A condo is more reasonable, but again with the dog issue. I am playing the waiting game at this time. Waiting for the right house to come on the market. The problem is inflation. The longer I wait, the more expensive they are getting out here.

The new developments out here are rumored to start around $340. Way above the wage most make out here.

I'm getting ready to live in the back of my truck (Chanda doesn't like that idea...). Come on, where's your spirit of adventure?
