We spent a good month to month and a half researching, reading up, pre-approving, investigating homes, viewing homes, and then finally we write an offer contingent on inspection, pay for the inspection and find the home riddled with issues.

Shortly after Patrick’s car dies, and then some legal drama from our former home in Michigan comes back in the form of a sold vehicle that was never registered by the new owner… which was successfully involved in a hit and run. Good fun.

It’s a good thing we didn’t end up with the house after all, however, house buying, hunting, financing, and all that good stuff, takes up entirely TOO much time. I’m happy to have stopped and given up (given the car situation and all the financial mess that comes with that) and perhaps in a year we’ll try again.
