Looking for a house

  • Posted on August 11, 2011 at 3:14 am

My friend Amy lives in Texas and wants to move, so she is looking at Dallas homes for sale, since that is the area she would really like to live in. A lot has to do with finding a job. Where she is living right now, there are literally no jobs available that fit her line of work. Also she has family in that part of Texas and would like to move closer to them, now that her father is getting older. She also wants to see more of her nieces and nephews.

Amy has told me that looking for Dallas Real Estate isn’t as hard as she thought it would be,  as she has been using a great service and they are helping her find exactly what she is looking for to suit her needs. She is tired of renting because she has three dogs she loves dearly and it’s hard to find a house or large apartment to rent that accepts animals, let alone three rowdy dogs. She also has been boarding her horse, and would like to find a house with some acreage large enough to have her horse with her on her own property.

I’ve also been online looking for Dallas homes for sale that I think she may like to look at, which actually I am the one that likes, but she appreciates the input. I think I may have some selfish reasons to though. I love going to visit her and wouldn’t mind living in that area one day either!

I need organization

With a houseful of kids, one who is graduated and back home, one that is 18 and still in school and a 14 year old, who also is in school, it makes for one heck of a majorly crowded living space. The “boys” have now been forced to share a room with is not good. Both have different living habits now and though it is the biggest bedroom in the house and has one of the two closets here also, they need a place to put their belongings and I need to find that something. A friend suggested kids lockers.

Now I know that they aren’t exactly kids anymore, but they are my kids, if that makes sense. They are also cramped and I’m tired of the bedroom being a disaster,  the fights and non-organization. The solution would indeed be to get a couple of the lockers for kids that I have been looking at. They would each have their own “space” and it sure would tidy the room up some.

My daughter has a smaller room and the closet has both her’s and my things in it. I really need to clean that out, throw away clothes and get some boxes out of there and up into the attic. The young adults don’t know these are children’s lockers, right? I mean, they don’t look like little kids items,  they hold one heck of a lot,  and they will organize all the clothes and junk my young adults collect. Heck, I might even get one for myself! :)

Finding a home

  • Posted on April 21, 2011 at 5:14 pm

I really don’t know how I feel about this subject, except my daughter is trying to find a place to live because her husband is a butt and abusive, and she needs to get out. She talked to my brother and he told her about checking into some Real Estate Owned Foreclosures. I think she is going to try this, though because of limited funds, being a mother of two children and trying to start all over again, it’s really hard.  I feel for her, but also feel sorry for the people who lost their homes.

She’s been on the net looking for homes and into free foreclosures that are offered. The placed she is looking,  is a free service and from what I have seen, indeed the homes are nice, and also very inexpensive. Looking into what these people can do for her seems really worthwhile. Much better than renting because of the price of renting compared to the price of  buying one of the homes that are available in the long run, are much less expensive.  I just feel kind of bad because some of the people who lost their homes…what they did after they lost their home and where did they go? I mean, I see some people falsely using the systems and living off us, because I know of quite a few who do, and basically, are just out for what they need and want yet, won’t work. But what about those who really tried to “make it” and just couldn’t?

My kid has had at least enough business sense to look into free services and free REO foreclosures. That at least takes my mind off of the things that I fret about, and at least she works her butt off and will take care of a place very, very well. She is an exceptional home keeper, and makes sure everything is kept up. I do wish her luck and wish I could help her more, but with medical bills and my other bills, I can’t. Maybe going this route may. So… it’s worth a shot. I just hope she doesn’t move far away, but the site shows a map and it seems this is the way most people HAVE to get a home now. I hate this economy and it’s just going to get worse. I am thinking this may be her best way to go. I really hope so, I have a good feeling about it and another good thing, is that she can get out of a very bad situation.
