Change of plans

Well after several set backs with the broker not doing her job correctly and the mortgage company having their thumbs up their asses, we have decided not to buy the house.  We have already missed 3 closing dates and because the broker mid-stream decided to go FHA still did not have us locked in at a percentage rate.  Several of our friends and co-workers all told us the same thing, too many RED FLAGS!  Time to bail out on this one.  Now that their is a tropical depression in the Atlantic, homeowners rate have just jumped again and possibly would not even be allowed to be written.

Besides we get free rent because I am in property management.  The reason we wanted to move is because we live where I work.  However, we have other properties in the Tampa area and we would still get free rent.  The community we would move to has larger floor plans and of course townhouses.  That would mean no upstairs neighbors.

So here is the poll of the day:  Free rent - VS -$1300 mortgage?  My vote free rent and bank roll the money that would have been the mortgage payment.  Here I thought my heart was set on buying this house.  However, after thinking about what everyone said to me today about the red flags, I am so much more less stressed than I have been since we started this whole thing.

SInce we are not going to buy the house I am going to buy my 42in" plasma damn it!
