From Renter to Owner

Finally my old man found a house at an auction and is now moving out of his rental and into his own home.

He has been looking at houses for months though never found anything that he was looking for or in his price range.

I suggested a while ago that he look into home auctions and see if maybe he could find something there that he liked and could afford to buy.

He finally took my advice and yes of course he did find a great place and got it at one hell of a price. He actually saved himself money by going to an auction and finding a home.

I have to admit that it is going to be nice getting him out of the rental and into his own home where I will be doing most of the painting and decorating,LOL.

thats good. im actually looking for a house, that sounds like a good idea, i might have to try that. i know ive been looking through the foreclosed homes and havent really found anything yet.

its a long draw out process. especially now with the economy the way it is now, you cant hardly afford anything! i just hope things get better soon.

I will second that Troubles, I am so tired of this pitiful economy. No one can afford to do anything!

I am so happy for you homealone! I have read a lot of your posts here and I know how much you like to decorate so this is right up your alley!

Some of the houses going up for auction are pretty nice. You can find a great deal there.
