The Move Is On

Well, it looks like Freddie Mac doesn’t want to sell our house back to us at fair market value.  They’ve even gone so far as to take it off the market.  So, we’re now looking at homes in Pahrump, NV.  It’s a smallish town about 90 minutes outside of Vegas, where most houses have an acre or more of land, and where the only big shopping to be done is at the grocery store (they have two chain stores), Wal-Mart, or Lowe’s.  Oh yeah, and they have a pet/feed/gun store, where we can get some of our pet food, and our, uh, weapons, I guess.  We’re hoping this works out, because Freddie Mac’s representatives are very unpleasant to deal with.  We’re being evicted for not paying rent…so they’re returning the rent that we last paid.  Yeah, sure, that makes sense.  They say that we didn’t cooperate with the agents trying to sell our house, yet we let them in every time they knocked at OUR door.  They said that we didn’t cooperate because either someone went to the wrong house or they were just setting us up for eviction because it’s easier to “show” a house that’s vacant.  When you have dogs that yap at every sound someone makes in front of your house, you KNOW when someone supposedly spent 30 minutes knocking on your door.  The dogs would’ve told us, plus WE WERE SITTING HERE WAITING FOR THEM!  We cleaned up for them and everything.  We wouldn’t have done that and then sat still for 90 minutes to see if the person was going to show up, if we were going to cancel.  When we wanted to change one date, we asked.  Once.  We agreed to every other date.  Funny though, they don’t want to sell the house to us.  They’d rather it sat vacant, without even renters, than sell it to us.  Why on earth would they take it off the market, if they wanted to sell it?  It’s all so very, very weird.  So, we’ll go buy a cheaper house that’s newer and has more land, and more opportunity to rescue animals.  I hear there’s a family in Pahrump that takes their goat with them wherever they go.  I like goats.
