(OP) User ID: 79267566 United States 12/02/2020 01:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Prayers said for all. I have a foundation contractor coming over here this afternoon. This is going to be a deal breaker.If it is too much, I will have to forget about fixing this house. I already got an estimate on having the electric totally redone.The guy was reasonable, seeing I got 3 floors to redo. If the foundation estimate isn't too bad, then I still have a minimum of 17 out of 34 windows that have to be replaced, as they have broken glass taped together with packing tape, or are literally falling out of the frames.The broken ones are priority. Then I have collapsed or collapsing ceilings that need to be redone.Then the list of minor things, like putting a floor in the kitchen that just has plywood, ATM, has to be done. Then there are the cosmetics,wall cracks, paint, redoing the hardwood floors, weatherizing, etc. The housing market here is insane. My daughter spotted a nice smaller house for sale yesterday afternoon, that was just literally posted on the MLS, and it was sold 4 hours later.I am going to call my bank and several lenders this afternoon to see if I can get pre-qualified for a loan for another house. Prayers needed. I am between a rock and a hard place here. Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

I have heard the deafening silence. User ID: 76023515 United States 12/02/2020 06:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Keeping you in prayer tiger1, your need is great. Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country, don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy. |

(OP) User ID: 79267566 United States 12/02/2020 08:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | PRAISE GOD !!! I got approved for a home loan with 2.73 interest. The estimate for the foundation repair was lower than anticipated, and the other structural concerns I had turned out to be minor.I will get the foundation done first, and then the electric. I will take it from there, but with these 2 major things done, it will make this old house more marketable, besides making it safe. The fact I was approved for a home loan with a meager income, is a miracle. The turn of events today has bought me time, and given me confidence. If these 2 major repairs are done, I can live in this old house longer, and be safe. With the pre-approval for a home loan,I am in the running to get another smaller and practical home. I just got to have patience. The Good Lord has taken care of me. Thank you all for the prayers !!! Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

User ID: 79620198 United States 12/03/2020 03:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Prayers said over all of y'all! I will go back and pray over some of your specific situations. We've been busy, had 3 amazing Thanksgivings with family and friends last week. Tiger you had me LOLing a few pages back when you said "I AM the little old lady on social security" Bless you girl, and I am so happy you got approved for a mortgage! I know what you're going through with the housing market and everything. It is a crazy time to be house hunting as you know! Last September, October, November, December, and January my husband and I were in tears every week over not being able to find a house, much less one we could afford, finding a house and things falling through, getting out bid on every house, lender and loan issues, etc etc. I was like HURRY UP LORD!!! Then in February, 6 long months later, we bought out first house. We didn't have to go find it, it found us. Got approved for a type of loan we thought would be impossible, with excellent interest rate and payments we can easily afford. Moved and closed on it in March, less than 30 days after the home found us. Exactly what we prayed for, and I mean EXACTLY, every detail. We got a great deal on it and walked into instant equity because they sold it to us for well below appraisal, and once we finish updates it will appraise for much more! Everything had to happen in the timeline that it did, and it's just astonishing how God's timing is literally perfect. And I can't tell you how many messages we have gotten from our realtor friend saying how glad they are we didn't get this house or that house because of unexpected issues it had or getting an underwater loan because of the market. One of them even had a roof fall in and had to be replaced immediately after the family got in it! So tiger don't lose hope. Don't stress about it too much. God already has a home for you, and it will find you. Keep praying. Every time something doesn't work out then consider it a blessing, because God knows what's best. James 1:22---Romans 1:16 |

The Lord knows what I need, and I have to have patience ! Things are falling into place, slowly but surely. I am a little old lady, LOL !!! 4'11" 91 pounds, and will be 67 on the 9th.So I fit the criteria perfectly, LOL !!! As for a house that was not meant to be for a reason, back about 23 years ago, there was this adorable smaller house that I passed by frequently on my errands. Nice lot,Country style covered porch, basement,beautiful big 100+ year old trees. I was waiting for it to go up for sale, and it did. But then I suddenly lost my job,and I didn't pursue it. Fast forward to 12 years ago. We had a tornado come through the area. One of the huge 100+ year old beautiful trees got knocked over and literally split that house in half to the ground level.Anyone in that house would have been killed, even in the basement. Fortunately, no one was home. There are reasons for everything. Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |
