2 Magical Numbers

Today Annie and I went for a little WALK...





A little walk with 1 very VERY BIG destination...





A big destination with 2 extremely MAGICAL NUMBERS...





And those numbers are: .70 and 3,600.


I can not NOT absolutely NOT believe it! We did it! With 5 very intense years of digging our condo out of debt and saving every last penny and never spending a dime of my paycheck and taking second jobs and living in weird places and enlisting the BEST most shark-like pouncer of a veteran real estate agent with a will and a way and some serious praying and a heap of LUCK and a 15 day investor inhibitor and some lady at the bank named Neda who held back the 10 other BETTER offers and a misspelled name debacle and horrible wretched days of waiting waiting waiting...


We have a dream of a foreclosure under contract!




Wanna know why THIS is the one?

.70 acres!

3,600 sq/ft!




Here is the MASSIVE back yard:
I took a pic from the furthest point of the fence in the back yard but this is only half of the property.

It is INSANELY competitive to get foreclosures where we live. And I do mean INSANE!

(Below) This view is from the PERFECT back porch looking out on our future base ball diamond
(which will be possible because we have 3 irrigation water shares with the property).


It's a miracle.
...a miracle with a finished basement.
