gigafarm update
(I accidentally posted this to the wrong blog last Thursday. Duh)
Well, the agreement ended yesterday, with no financing yet. so, my dad extended the term of the agreement, since they'll be here for a while more, because my grandma is having joint-fusion surgery in her finger.
They started looking at other houses. Coincidentally, the one they like best is being sold by the same lady they bought the farm from 30 years ago. Of course, 30 years ago she was a widow with 3 small children and a 96 acre farm. Now, she's married boomer with grandchildren, looking for a nice ranch.
Dad would rather move to Florida, taking the money and leaving town, but apparently my mom won't have any of that. So, they're looking. He called last night to ask me about how realtors work, since he's never bought any of his 5 properties through a realtor or with a realtor. In fact, to look at these homes, they didnt call a realtor, they just went to the door and knocked.
Things work differently in rural areas. Or at least in rural areas 30 years ago.
