Know why I don't update more often now? I'm condo shopping. It's horrid. Ugly. Arggggg....
Tried to put a bid on a perfect place last week and got rejected due to our contingency. See, I'm trying to be responsible and not own two condos at once, thereby strapping myself to the point of not even being able to eat ramen, and they won't even let me do that. Stupid crapheads. Good news? Well, the bank did approve me to spend 44% of my income on my next mortgage. Crazy, isn't it? What happened to the days of spending a quarter of your income on housing? I don't think I have one friend who owns property and doesn't spend at least half their income on it. This generation sucks for buying property.
So, the little condo on Queen Anne is going up for sale. The other part of the situation I don't have the answer to is how much I can actually spend on the next one. Problem is, I have NO idea how much mine will actually sell for. Until we know how much cash I get out, we don't know how much cash will go in...this is a thousand times worse than buying the first condo. It's moments like this that I just want to pack it all in and move to Italy. I've been a barista, I could do it again, and learn a fancy pants language at the same time.....
Arggggg....
