I'm so sorry the sale hasn't worked out, I know it keeps you in limbo and that's really hard. But maybe you don't really want to be moving to the Poor Farm right before winter hits? Maybe God has His hand in the timing.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390325505351159920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-16854952833664264782014-10-31T14:37:21.607-05:002014-10-31T14:37:21.607-05:00i am so very, very, very sorry that the sale seems...i am so very, very, very sorry that the sale seems to have fallen through, once again. bless you! but i am so very, very glad you've had a BOUNTY year while waiting it out. good luck in that winter preparation stuff! lordy! or should i say, 'crap!' :)TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-4480483855471163862014-10-29T16:31:40.602-05:002014-10-29T16:31:40.602-05:00Funny you should say that Lorna, now that it looks...Funny you should say that Lorna, now that it looks like we wont be living in a 200 sg foot camper for the winter our old farmhouse is looking real cozy.

We were having great difficulty in selling our house, so we went that route and it ended up great. It won't work if you need a big chunk of money to be able to move on. In a contract-for-deed situation, your buyer puts up a down payment, a bank or escrow company holds the deed, and you carry the balance of the mortgage for a specific length of time (we did five years). The buyers are responsible for paying property taxes and insurance (must document that with you each time they make a payment). If at any time the buyer fails to make a payment, you immediately get the property back without going through a foreclosure process and keep the down payment. In our case, our buyers refinanced and paid it off in three years.MaryPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07213411584585483075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-45995517050052893052014-10-27T23:55:01.052-05:002014-10-27T23:55:01.052-05:00I really thought you'd SOLD this time; what a ...I really thought you'd SOLD this time; what a bugg*r.
