Next week, I will spend $2,600 on the house.
I’m going to paint the interior all one color (expect for the bathrooms and the laundry room, those will remain untouched.) We discovered an issue with electric that must be resolved to sell the house. Don’t get me started on how that happened.
Showings continue to be steady and I feel like I’m in the right pricing bracket now at $195,000. There are few other 3/2s in that price bracket.
After the paint and electric is complete, it will be listed with an agent.
I’m going to sit tight here in Georgia until the end of May. Focus on enjoying Princess college graduation. Then relocate to Texas with a plan to remain there the bulk of the summer and help with my mom.
While I was there this month, we all got the flu. My dad, me, one of my brothers who was also staying with my parents, and then my mom. It was rough. And reiterated the need for me to be there, rather for someone to be able to stay with my parents full time. (I am still recovering. It is slow going.)
Work is steady and growing weekly which I am very grateful for. I am only paying minimums on everything and hoarding cash. Once I get through these house expenditures, I am going to focus on building an emergency fund again before I turn back to debt.
The plan is to use the bulk of the proceeds from the house to pay off all my consumer debt. Based on my math that should be achievable even at this lower price point.
Then I will be starting fresh. With a focus on saving and paying off my remaining student loan.
