We got our renters out of our Needville house 6 months early! Thank goodness! They were quite the experience. We went to the house on Monday to clean and we had forgotten the mop. Oops...since 90% of the house doesn't have carpet it made it a little difficult to clean. It was so gross!!! I can't believe how bad things can get in 6 short months! The bathroom tub was so bad we decided to just tear it out. So, that will cost us around $1,000 we didn't expect to spend. We are praying for a miracle and leaning on our faith to believe we will find a buyer.
I put something on craigslist.com and that has gotten us some calls. Ryan is putting the For Sale/Rent sign up today at the house. The problem is the market is so bad and with all these balloon mortgages a lot of people are losing their homes and can't get financing. So, they are asking if we would do owner financing. We don't know much about it so we are going to look into it and see if that is even an option. We would love to just sell it and be done with it. However, I'm learning there are some benefits to doing owner financing...so we'll see...If we found the right person we might consider it. Maybe they'll take better care of it knowing it is their home.
Last night was busy too. We had a couple of guys come out last night to give us a bid on the bathroom, a lady coming out to look at the home, and the exterminator to come out and give us an estimate on having the house exterminated (is that a word?). It was almost like an assembly line! HA!
We just have so much on our plate. We have to remember how blessed we are though. We are young and have so many choices, options and potential! When I get down, frustrated and mad at people for ruining our house I have to remember that God is good and He'll find a way out for us. He always does!
Of course the baby is doing great! Perfect example of what really matters. We are so blessed to have this healthy baby. It is so fun seeing him/her grow! We hope to find out whether he/she is a boy/girl at our next visit in May.
We hope all is going well in your world!
God Bless,
Stacie & Ryan
