[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We brought in 2022 and rates were starting to go up and we were on verge of not being able to buy. So what did we do? We brought the ugly, unupdated house that was literally dirty. Those things turned off a lot of buyers so we knew we had a shot. But we now have a house. We had to pay for a few rounds of professional cleaning and there is a lot we’d ideally change if we could but we have no money left after buying. It’s not our dream house it’s not hgtv worthy.[b] People around us have much nicer updated homes and keep updating and adding on - because they purchased years earlier they can afford to. [/b]Our monthly is waaay higher then theirs. It’s just reality. I wish it had worked out differently, but this is where we are in the timeline when we were ready to purchase so we had to deal with it. I’m very sympathetic to your situation it’s so hard but maybe bend a little on what you would accept?[/quote] They can afford to NOW. It takes time to save up for improvements. You people are so impatient. "I want my perfect house NOW!"[/quote] No, I just don't want to end up underwater or unable to retire by 70. Being real here.[/quote]
