Promise Acre: Our Journey

Yup... that would work as well...

Other than we still have a mortgage on the first one, it would need to have sold already and the lead paint would not be good for the kids .. we will see either someone will work with us or not... if not I will just have to deal with no barn and noisy neighbors dogs... could definitely be worse. Perhaps it' just not meant to be.

So, am working on a "to do" list for the farm to show the new lender we don't have a complete money pit on our hands. He's is doing a similar thing, of having bought a old farm house and renovating so seems very willing to work with us. But needs some "plans on paper" and wants to see we're on the same page. A part of me just wants to give up... we've about 2 weeks to the new deadline on the offer. Seems impossible.
Also have some feelers out for an actual ag loan.
Feeling like I'm getting sick..exhausted, achey went to the chiropractor so hoping it's short lived. DH is working late late again so he's not being much help.

things work out, one way or another, to eliminate all the stress you've been dealing with.

and the lead paint would not be good for the kids

Do you KNOW that there is lead paint? Not all old paint has lead. I would get it tested before deciding you need to do the expensive "lead remediation".

I know it is hard but keep at it

thanks. we already had it tested so yes we know. BUT as long as we use the guidlines (keeping dust down, using chemical removal vs sanders) and bagging it. Indiana says we're good to remove it and dispose of it.

@Latestarter yes one way or another...LOL but I do say the 2,3, 4 times a day I'm outside getting barked at by the neighbors dogs is a VERY good motivator!

well the letter and estimate report is off! I think I"m going to call another bank though about Ag loans... they haven't responded to my online request but sooner is better for me.

Special, our chocolate Mini rex doe had 3 babies a little before noon. All look great!

Well the lender is to talk to my Mom today, wants to make sure we're all on the same page.... or that's what I assume when he requested her number or her to call him. If he's willing to work with us we still have to apply for the loan AND most likely get another exension approved by the sellers. I'm exhausted when I think about it all. I did talk to another lender (a local Credit union) yesterday. There ag program wouldn't work for us but she forwarded our information to their regular mortgage lenders.
