Have you looked for a 1:18 loan? 1/18 of a monthly payment would be sweet!

That's a great idea!!! I'll talk to my broker. I can't wait to see the look on his face when I ask him about the 1/18 scale mortgage plan.

Well I think there is a Marysville in CA, but I don't know of anywhere in CA where you can buy a decent home under 300k.

I just got a call from my agent, the owners of home #1 want a full price offer with nothing for closing. We asked for $4k off the price and $6k towards closing. I told my agent I would be willing to meet in the middle somewhere. If they won't budge, I'm walking away.

Suprise, suprise, house #1 is still on the market with a reduced price, $1k LESS than what I offered them a month ago. ****in' idiots.

Today is the big day, right now they are recording the sale with the county. I should get the keys sometime this evening.
