Well, it's done. We are now our own landlord. After a marathon apartment-cleaning session and a marathon move-everything-that's-supposed't'be-in-the-basement session, I have a day off for the first time in about ten months (splitting time between school and work leaves no free time. Thank God school is interesting!).
We are now real property owners in the most tax-conflicted state in the USA. Yips! However, owning a home in Portland Oregon has been a lifelong dream. That dream is now realized, at least for the interim. Now, to begin to make it unassailable.
They say economic times are tough, and indeed that's true. But I have always believed that once you've decided that you want something, eventually, that something will be yours.
