Thanks so much! yea, i can hardly believe it. We got this crazy idea to not have a mortgage a long time ago and then I began tinkering with all sorts of ways to do it. Once I saw that the sale price in portland had gotten high enough to buy a house outright in nashville, we pulled the trigger. The funny thing is how most people just assume that paying rent or a mortgage is just a part of life, but I always hated it. When i mentioned my plans to people around here, they said "oh you should wait and you will get EVEN MORE money in a year" or they would try to talk me into staying in the house despite how expensive it was because portland "is so cool".
But, we decided we had enough and didn't want to try to be greedy and time the market exactly right. I'm comfortable with the decision and I cant wait to see the bank accounts grow now that the dumb mortgage isn't a part of our lives! : )
