First showing

We got word that our Realtor brought someone to our house for its first showing. It seems unlikely to me that we will have a buyer out of our first showing, but it is heady anyway. It makes things real, and starts to make thoughts churn in your head that you've never had to think about before. For example, if it takes three months to build out house, and they want to close in two, then where do we go for a month? Do we move our stuff into a trailer and have it stored somewhere and stay in a Residence Inn? I know people have to deal with this sort of thing all the time - our friends in South Carolina had to stay in an apartment for months before they could move - and the apartment wasn't even in the same state!

Anyway, as I noted, it seems unlikely they will buy. They are a trio of roommates looking to move into something bigger while renting out what they own now. That's a good financial plan - keeping an old property as a rental. They say that a situation like that can pay for a mortgage in just the rental fees. It is a good racket if you can get into it. One roommate saw our house and they are returning later tonight so that they can all see it. The one liked the sunroom and the backyard for their dogs, things we have known are selling points.

So, we are keeping our fingers crossed and we're thankful we cleaned out the garage this weekend!
