Crazy...

Crazy to think that at 48 years of age I am finally a homeowner.. correction WE are homeowners. Ken and I purchased a Mobile Home on Silver Lake in Angola Indiana. I personally think it was an unbelievable bargain, but after purchasing the home, getting all the utilities hooked up and furnishing it to our satusfaction I think we'll have a sizeable investment. The good news is that we paid about half of what it was actually appraised at so hopefully the value will continue to rise. Angola, Indiana is a 3 hour drive from Chicago, straight shot on the 90 east, the best part is.. if you don't want to take the toll road, US 20 runs right through Amish country, the frams are beautiful, and it's amazing to see the horse and buggies running along side the highway. We have started buying furniture in pieces, we'll rent a uhaul next weekend and start taking things down. This coming Saturday is going to be yard and deck clean up day as well as carpet cleaning day. The home has been vacant for a year so there is a bit of stale odor... I'll keep you aprised as things evolve...
