I know you are devastated to have lost out on what looked like it was the thing for you. The only way I can get over that kind of thing is to imagine that there was a problem with it that I wouldn't find out till I was stuck. Then I manage to feel better, knowing I 'escaped' it. Hope you find something better and cheaper and it makes this disappointment fade away into the sunset. (((HUGS)))

I tried to buy a house many years ago and was beaten out by someone that bid lower with cash. It is very frustrating but it worked out for the best. If I had bought that house I would be stuck in a dead end marriage with a worthless good for nothing man instead of being here with Mike. Believe me when I say when one door closes it is for the best! The way realistate is these days that person will probably be stuck with a place they can't give away or have to resale it at a loss cause of unforseen problems. Keep your chin up and keep looking! I agree its not right that out of towners come in to your hometown and do you this way, there should be a law against it. But you will overcome I know you will! Got you in my prayers!

that is kinda how i look at it as well --- i just had to have some "whoa is m"e going on for a little while..

We all need that sometimes it makes the good times that much better!!

Nancy: unfortunately the upper Western tier are where the jobs are right now and yes, he is probably spectulating. Recent news broadcast on people flocking to MN where there are great job opportunities and after spending the first winter, had no clue. Thing is, for a good income they will figure out how to get through the harsh weather.

I am sorry about the Condo. It would have made it much easier on you. But keep on the lookout. Other oportunities may offer themselves. Good weekend. Debbie

Nancy :

I am firm believer in when God closes one door he will open up another better door for us, when we were looking for house near my mom's it was booming market & every house we bid on it & there will be bidding war on it, finally we gave up & when we finally made the deal its best house we got, its walking distance from moms & love all the features in the house, so moral of the stpry have a faith & believe whatever is happening is in your best interest.

yes i do believe it is all ok... it is what it is and will be.... i just had to vent....

We all have moments like that when we think something seems right for us then it turns out not to be, so disappointing I know. But I’m sure the right house will come along and it will be more than you expected so you will look back and say I’m glad I didn’t get that other house. And believe me that saying goes for just about everything.

Nancy, I am so sorry it didn't work out for you. Unfortunately they probably saw it as a good business opportunity to make some money. Seems like that is what it is all about for some people.....$$$. They don't even realize how wrong it is to be that way. Money dont buy happiness and I am a firm believer in karma...what goes around comes around. You will probably come across something even better and more affordable in the near future and then you will realize why things happened this way. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Nancy, sorry as well that this ideal solution eluded you. Someone once said to me, "the path will open." I pray that is the case for all of us. It's just very dark right at the moment.
