The past couple weeks have been pretty stressful with the house purchase. Long story short, the deal got more complicated as the house went through HUD inspections, FHA inspections and our own inspections. We were being required by FHA to hire contractors to do a laundry list of improvements within 60 days, most of which we were planing to do ourselves over time. The costs kept on increasing and finally last night Sara and I realized that it was too much. So, we walked away. We’re sad, but it’s all good. Life goes on.
Your next question is, what next? We’re not exactly sure at the moment, but we have a few ideas up our sleeves. We’ll keep you posted.
To be continued…

I know that you two are disappointed. But as you know there is a reason for everything. As cliche as that sounds. Something is out there for you and you will stumble upon it and never think twice. And I’m glad you were smart to walk away and not get into major debt. Others would have been blind to the “I want” instead of “too much money, too soon.”
Love both of you and miss you. We need to find a halfway place and spend a weekend together.

Ohhh, well… New opportunities opening up! Now enjoy the rest of the summer with less worries, and why not, keep your eyes open for other houses that may be easier to deal with!
Cheer up!
