House

A couple of weeks ago, Alpha Male went to Las Vegas to house hunt. We had decided that we would like to purchase a home and live there when he retired. Back in October, we flew there and looked at houses and actually had found one that we placed an offer on but never recieved a response so we continued to look.
When Alpha Male was in in Nevada, he rented a car and drove up to a little town called Parhump and actually found a house that he liked but there are lots of creepy crawlies like tarantulas, desert roaches and centepedes.
Um, no.
Knowing that I could never live in a place that had those sorts of creatures living that close to us and keep my sanity, Alpha Male looked in Vegas and found a lovely house for us.
We offered less than they were asking because there were issues with the pool needing to be fixed.
The owners countered with a slightly higher price which included fixing the pool and we accepted.
The nice thing is, we are able to pay for the house outright so there will be no payments other than utilities and yearly taxes.

Now, I have three years until we move and I have to seriously knuckle down and get my schooling done so we can take off in three years and live in our home we just bought.
Until we move down, we will be letting my stepdaughter and her kids live there. Either that or we will get a renter into the place and hire a property management firm. Either way, I won't have to worry. Too much.
