I have had a challenging week to put it lightly. Seems there is this fork in the road of my life. I may need to soon make decisions that will change much of my life. Not ones I want to make but a girl can’t live “on potential” forever.
I have never been shy about my unhappiness with the condo building I live in. A building that is amazingly beautiful has many flaws. Thinsg keep happening that cause my hatred against this building more and more. I have wanted to get out of our place even if it is by short sale, it just doesn’t make sense for me. I never planned on staying there long term and with units selling for 50-60k it will be a very long time before we would ever see that money back. People are stupid and naive if they think housing prices will come up that much in the next 5 years. That is what I am always told, that if we did not want to sell anytime soon it doesn’t matter, well I never wanted to live in this place that long, a person can only live in a one room condo for so long, not 20-30 years. More and more units are rentals and not owner occupied, there are already 2 other units that will most likely be sold and they will become rentals too. So even if we could sell our place in the future to break even we will never find someone who is able to get a mortgage because the owner occupancy will be like 5% if that. So we live in a money pit and I WANT OUT…
Wish I was the only one that had to make that decision would have been gone a year ago……
