On the 'home' front
Ok, so, in anticipation of buying a home sometime in the foreseeable future, I have taken the time to find the names of two residential real estate lawyers (a friend and a relative of coworkers of a lawyer friend) and talked to an inspector, who, in fact was the most cordial and unoffensive man on the phone.
Now, all we need is to (someday) find a home he and I can agree on.
My parents leave the first week in May to find a house near Daytona Beach, FL. Theoretically, I may need to fly down and give my approval. Ugh. And, I'll need to make a gentleman's agreement with my dad about the payments, since being partial owner on the mortgage may jeopardize my ability to get a mortgage here.
See, isn't that fun?
