Each one of us would get an Offer. But we were to keep it to our self. Because we all had different amount of land. I had the most land.
He showed us a drawing of the 100!!! homes, that were to replace our 3 houses. Our homes we have had for years to be replaced!
It is over. My fight to survive is over. Squeezed out of my own neighborhood. That sat on the hill and the other 3 houses were at the bottom. Taking simple stupid low offers, because they are afraid interest rates, will go up.
We would be given Earnest Money. So, if the deal falls through, we can keep it. And it could take about two more years, to go thru Policies, of the Goverment. Before they would ask us to leave our Property.
Retirement age. It is sell or build around me. Oh, yeah. That would be fun. Mowing on the lawn tractor with the house falling apart around me. The deck has a gaping hole. My lawn furniture, my Tropitone needs a new sling, cause of the rip. The house and barn need paint terribly. What would I do here for six more years. Waiting for retirement money.
I would be 66!! If years of exhaustion almost killed me. What would a little bit of 6 more years do? It is like you get a paper cut. And think damn. That hurts. and then wonder, how much more it would hurt, if your arm was sawed off. You know what I mean. But, now with the recession, and my neighbors running to the 2nd builder, that even made an offer.
Leaving me yelling at the top of my lungs, wait a mintue people, don’t take the first offer, don’t you know how to play this game! No one ever listens to me. Didn’t have too, they didn’t have a Mortgage. Or Attorney deed of trust. Or 1/2 Capital gain.
They had money in the bank for retirement. I have bad credit, bills, I can’t pay, and now an offer that will have to sit in the bank and pray, it earns interest until I’am age 90.
So, I signed up. Scared!! If I didn’t, and scared, if i did. Now what?
They say it will be almost 2 years, sitting here waiting, for all the stuff that needs house repairs.
