No Direction Home

(btw, who doesn't love Dylan? Communist China thats who!)

Ok, so I thought I might update anyone who is still reading this (and there are a couple of visits every day) about our house situation. At this point it is a bit of a mess still. Some of you remember that nice house on the mountain that we told you about? Yeah, that’s out. It was a short sale with 2 banks getting shorted. They couldn’t even decide how much money they wanted, they just knew they wanted more.

Since then we rejoined our house search and are now have around 120 houses on our list that we have actually gone out to see. There were some hopefuls that we were close to leaving an offer on. One in North Phoenix that we decided was a bit too far out of the way. Just this week we attempted to buy a house only to be denied any sort of normal loan because it doesn’t have a kitchen. Now we have money to put in a kitchen, but that doesn’t seem to matter too much. We even considered trespassing to install a kitchen in the middle of the night, but in the mean time we are still on the hunt.  The problem is we are running out of houses to look at.

If we do have some good news at some point in the future, I suppose I will update again on the blog. It seems to me that we will have to have some good news at some point.

UPDATE: Looks like we have a house.
