my doll house

The foreclosed house that I'm interested in is now open for contracts!
My dad looked at it today. Boyfriend looked at it today. The old man who lives up the street from it took pictures of it today.......and 11 other people put in contracts on it. It's been open for contracts for two days.
I have an appointment to look at it tomorrow.
It's small. Smaller than my house. But the lot is much bigger than mine, and it's all flat. There's no house to the right of the property. Just woods. It's a single story brick home. Did I mention it's small?  It was built in 1958. So the closets are small. It has a galley kitchen that could be really nice with a little work.
I love the lot.
And even though the side screened in porch needs work, I really like that porch! I love the back yard..............If I bought it I could probably cut my gas and electric bill in half. My mortgage payment would drop a few hundred bucks.........that makes me happy.......it could be a doll house with a little TLC.........a small doll house..........I'd rather have more money than space.........
The down side is what if my house doesn't sell forever and ever............I couldn't carry two mortgages for very long.............it would be risky to buy a house before selling mine.........................................I've almost always played it safe....................maybe it's time to take a chance?
Maybe when I actually get inside of the house, rather than just looking through the windows, I'll hate the place...........

I am convinced that less is better so I hope you love it.

I like small places on large lots, of about 20 acres. :-)

How about boyfriend stepping up to the plate and helping with the payments?

Hell, if you have too charge him fifty bucks a pop for sex, one way or the other it always costs money to play, unless you are good at bartering and have skills you can barter with. :-)
