buy property

The money isn’t there right now for me to do this independently, so either I have to persuade some partners or work on building a down payment. Realisticly because I am working less than full time right now (for pay I mean, trust me I am a busy hardworking lady) dealing with payments would be tough. I think it is going to take at least a year for me to earn what I am worth. I need to come up with a concrete goal. I have so many dreams, land in the country, land abroad, a place in the city, a family beach getaway. I co own a rental out of state, my former home. Now is not the time to sell but I should start the conversation with my husband about what we plan to do with it. Maybe I’ll ask him if he could envision us owning a second home (not for income, for us). He wanted to trade up earlier this year and I am glad that we didn’t with the economy and home values plummeting like they have. I think I’ll check out what the houses that we were looking at are going for now, just out of curiousity. To be honest I was not on board with the move. He was looking at McMansions by his job. I hate the isolation and lack of character in those places. It doesn’t meet my definition of community. I can also start a file of information and possibilities to gain clarity. Maybe I’ll cut way down on personal expenses and start a property account. I also need to transfer a dormant account.
