...complete with Steve McQueen riding away on a motorcycle...
Anyway, here's the situation:
I bought my first home back in 2005 at the urging of my mother who insisted that buying a home was one of the best investments that I could ever make.
Funny how times change, ain't it?
Of course, all of that happened before I discovered the Way of the Mustache.
Thing is, I want to get out. Where I live is in the middle of nowhere. That means lots of gas driving back and forth to places, and more importantly, virtually no opportunity to see what other kinds of jobs there are out there for me. Hell, I'm having a hard time even finding dates!
Apparently there aren't very many girls who are down for leaving the confines of the big city to come hang out with me.
My mortgage on it right now is around 130,000 or so. I just refinanced this spring to bring my payments down from 1,100 per month to 866 per month.
They're doing a good bit of building around my area, and I know that they've zoned some nearby lots around the Interstate for commercial, but I also know that it'll still be a while before any noticeable growth comes to my area.
In all likelihood, unless I want to wait ages, I'm going to end up taking a loss on my house if I sell it. How much, I don't know. A good bit of me is willing to just take the loss if it means the freedom of not being tied to a house.
Trouble is, I don't know what that would mean or how that even works.
Hell, I don't even freaking know where to start.
Help!
