Especially when you buy property. Can't bring that back home, so you have no choice but to move there.


Yes. We are in the process of completing this convoluted real estate deal. It's been emotionally draining and all consuming dealing with this thing. You really need to have the stomach for it, and if you do, the rewards are great.

We've made a few small trips to Vegas, all business, and lots of calls, yes's, no's, bluffs called, and walking away to be begged to come back and start over.

 And it's all been extremely stifling to my internet creativity. I barely post to facebook and twitter and elsewhere cuz I just don't have much of my soul left.

It's in the lawyers hands now. Hoping to have a definitive answer and closure by the end of this week.

If all goes as planned, we expect to be in the process of a harrowing nightmare of a cross-county move by March/April. Rocky Mountain blizzard weather permitting.

Vegas, baby, and yikes.

We are moving because we are sck of the Colorado weather.

We have been planning on leaving Colorado for about 4 years now, pre-housing crash. We have wanted to find a warmer climate and set our sites on Southern California at first. But considering how tremendously screwed up that state is in every aspect, it became clear that it would not be a good choice.

Then we considered the next warm place we visit all the time which was Vegas. And we were like, really? No way. But it has a slightly less liberal attitude towards govt. and business, and NO STATE INCOME TAX, which was really appealing. And as for business, we are closer to a lot of contacts as well.

Now thanks to the crash, we can afford more house than we ever thought we could. What started as a fantasy, talk, a dream, has now become a reality. I think.

The latest update is our names are supposed to be recorded on the DEED as of Monday. I'm on pins and needles because it's hard to believe and I won't believe it until I see it.

Still keeping my lips sealed on the details because you never know who is watching, and I don't want my big mouth to blow it!!

I won't say anything till the ink is dry on the contract, but wishing you all the best and good vibes!

Julia you were right to be cautious for fear of never knowing who is watching.......BECAUSE I SEE EVERYTHING!

I've googled the parcel number and we are listed as OWNERS on the tax assessment site. YAY!

So, after a closing that took a WEEK, it appears to be officially ours. I'm having a hard time digesting that it. is. ours.

Therefore, any rational person would consider it done. Not us.

There was a bunch of baggage on it from the seller. And I am reserving celebration until confirmation that all the garbage is cleared off and satisfied.

Nice try.
Actually, PE1, you have dissapointed me.
EVEN if you were right (which I am not saying you were), you should have fabricated something more interesting, for the sake of amusement.

Come on, try again...
