House Hunting Blues

My husband and I just recently, earnestly, began to house hunt. So far we have lost two houses to other bids and just yesterday, our financing. A word on financing, make sure you go to someone who knows what the hell they are doing number one, and don't take no for an answer if you have decent credit and money to put down for deposit. Somebody will say yes, even in this economy.
As far as the house hunting goes, if you see something you like, bid quickly, especially in Hialeah! Things go fast here. For some freaking reason, people, such as moi, want to live here and good houses go fast. I'm talking SAME DAY fast. So don't get attached to a house. Don't begin, like I do, to mentally begin a checklist of what you are going to do to the house to make it your own, the color, the additions, the color of the artistic concrete your going to lay down the minute you get your hands on your $8000 of stimulus money. That type of thing. I do it anyway, and boy does it sting when you lose the foundation of your piece of the American Dream. It sucks dude. Monday, is around the corner, I almost got my financing done, and I got three houses to pick from. Wish me luck. No es facil.
