Streamie, I'm going to go through with this buying process. Like
you and my realtor (Karen) said, it's not forever. Since
technically we're only paying $600 out of our own pocket on
mortgage, sounds like a good deal no? Besides think of the tax
deductions and the money we'll get back next tax year. The typical
American moves every 5 - 7 years. Even if we sell in 2 years we'll
still make some $$ since that area is booming right now with so
much building taking place. And you know here in California, prices
are pretty steady. Homes are always in demand. We bought an entry
level home so down the road we'll definitely be able to find a
buyer should we need to move. That was our plan in the first place.
That we buy a place here to build equity to buy a home in Seattle.
So I've decided not to go with their in-house lender and go with
GMAC instead. Better interest rate, no balloon payments after 5
years. Wish me luck!
As for the tv jack in the formal living room, so be it lah. I love
DIY projects anyway, can't wait to use my drill!
BWahahahahaaa!!!!!
