This happens every so often. I get busy with other things and blogging takes a back seat for a while. This time it was the combination of a new job, Christmas (see new job and Buying a house.
Beth and I are buying our first house, and the sale will close by the end of the week. It is a cute 2 bed/2 bath halfplex in South Natomas. It has a small yard where Beth can play with her plants, a garage which we have promised to keep at least on car in, and a nice kitchen with more counter space.
Unfortunately, buying a house, especially buying one with help from the federal government, takes a lot of time and effort. We have had great helop from our real estate agent, Jennifer Hayes at Lyon Real Estate and Nancy Rich with Comstock Mortgage. This is a very difficult market to buy a house in, but if you can put in the effort, there are some really great deals. I enjoyed telling our landlady that we would be paying less per month for our mortgage then rent!
I have a lot of ideas in the post queue, and now that life has settled down I hope I can push a few more public. We will see.
