Well we did it...

We have been back to Gadsden this weekend and had set a goal to buy a house before we returned. Well we found not one house but two! We put in an offer on one of the houses before we left and we're still waiting for the offer to be accepted. It happens to be a foreclosure and I have to say that not all foreclosures are easy to get. One might think that they would take just about anything to get it off their hands but no no that is not the case. Our first offer was countered and the agency had the nerve to say that they would be losing money if they accepted our offer. What? They must have overlooked the fact that the house has sat unoccupied on the market for almost one entire year! I think they actually lost money when they lent money to the people who couldn't pay them. Needless to say we countered back with a warning that it would be our final offer. We'll see if they take it, either way we win.
