| On days like this I definitely was asking myself 'Why am I doing this again?' |
This is sure to be a question that we ask ourselves from
time to time as this process unfolds. I guess there are some tangible reasons
to consider, the main one being cost. Houses in our price range (well under
$200,000) fall into either two categories: glorified trailers or complete
wrecks. As we saw more and more listings for existing houses, we slowly came
to realize that we were not going to find what we were looking for in the
current house market. Heck, we couldn't even find anything to settle for.
Glorified seasonal cabins, crooked old buildings with ancient wiring, decrepit
windows and insufficient framing, and 700 square foot cubicles were becoming
all too common.
