Home Ownership

They tried to buy our home as a rental.  Lucky we had others to choose from.  

A family with a baby got our home!  They both made good money in their jobs.  We also made out like bandits and got a large property with a pool!  In Florida our house was very reasonable.  Just half a mil!  We sold ours for a million in Kirkland.  

The house we have now if it was in Kirkland would cost way over 5 million!  Location has a lot to do with it!  Owning more land too!

My first home coming to Washington back in 78 was $59,000.00 with 8% mortgage.  I was 22 years old.  It was fun having people come to the door asking for my mother.  πŸ˜‚  I did without and had an old car.  Mattress was on the floor for many years and had a card table for a dinning table.  Hell!  I had a house!  I was a climber, so didn't care about furniture and I was working most of the time anyway.
