@mawr *hugs tight* And I haven't even made it north yet either. >.<

@zetasyanthis *hugs and holds* ;~;

@mawr *hugs tight* >.< Sometime early next year, I'm hoping. >.<

@zetasyanthis *nods! and clings*

With some luck, I might be able to get into a house by then. I'm looking at some expensive options that might be worthwhile to jump on this earlier than planned.

@mawr Eee! Good luck! <3

Thank you, hon ♥️

If we go this route, we'd be looking at payments around $3,700 a month... but we could probably refinance after a couple of years to something closer to $3,000/mo or so.

It's not the route I want to go, but it's a route I'm at least seriously considering. With my estimates of property value increase in the time I'd take us to go the longer, cheaper route... I think we'd end up paying more.

@mawr Best of luck! from my vantage that's a staggering quantity of money D:

@IrisKalmia It's an intensely uncomfortable amount of money for us, too-- but our last place was $2,800/month, so it's not something we're entirely unfamiliar with.

It is, however, something we'll need to very carefully consider.

@mawr Understandably! Before shit really started to fall apart here there were vague whispers of making a holding trust. Good luck no matter how it shakes out <3

@mawr Ouch. D: (But that's fairly considered.)

@IrisKalmia *hugs tight* >.<

@zetasyanthis Coming back when classes end for the season, right?

@IrisKalmia Probably not. She'll need to work summers, plus she's got two kitties and a puppy to care for.

@IrisKalmia (Like, I want her to, but it may not be possible.)

@zetasyanthis *nods and squeezes up*

@IrisKalmia *hugs tight right back, appreciating the understanding* >.<
