Oh Zillow

Oh... I have such a love hate relationship with this site.

Mine you, the site is fantastic. I just can't buy any of it right now.

I have a few that soundly hit everything on my list. A few I have seen come on and off the market over the last few years, so I always get excited again.

I do this to my self.

It's a great way to see what I want, as I always tell myself... The pangs of want are strong. Even in my small price range. Now, if I really want to suffer I just have to increase my price range by 10-20k more (which is soundly out of my range) and then the pangs are more... solid.

But in my wallet.

I'm going to try and not look again until I can actually make a purchase. So, 5-6 months. Yeah... We will see about that.

As for how I am limiting my price rage? I am going by the max I might have for closing costs. Which includes the down payment. Right now it is laughably low. about 12k. In theory I should be able to save another 5-6k which could bring it closer to my goal of 20k.

If I could actually sit my butt down and make &sell artwork and jewelry I might be able to bring that up a lot more. But I have a few kinks in that department that is holding it off. Namely taxes and how the heck do I pay social security? After I get some supplies in I will start to crank out the art& jewelry so I will be ready to sell.

I have so much to do. Definitely going to try and stay off of zillow for a bit.
