Glad your on the ball someones gotta be heh.

Devlin · 02-21-2007, 07:00 PM

OMG my left calf is still hurting big time from DOMS

I had planned to go to the gym tonight after work, but my day went to hell in a handbasket real fast. Ended up getting out of work late and then spent a fair amount of time on the phone with my mortgage broker. Bad news, kinda, I need to dig up tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, etc. Good news....based on the information she had which was basic, she was able to get me approved for a mortgage

Now we just need to clean some things up, work on getting me the best mortgage, then settle on a house. If everything works out I may be able to go after a house within the month

Archangel · 02-21-2007, 07:30 PM

Awesome news, Best wishes for you and a new house!!!

Pylon · 02-22-2007, 06:21 AM

Congrats! Hope it works out quickly for you!

DeadBolt · 02-25-2007, 06:28 AM

Well bring sexy back where are ya?!?!

Hey grats ont he mortgage!!! I am working on getting all that settled out as well!!! I wish the best of luck to ya I know the feeling!!!

b_reed23 · 02-25-2007, 02:23 PM

I hope you are able to find a house Dev....that would be great!! Are you looking for something with some land for the horsie?

Devlin · 02-26-2007, 06:49 PM

As of today I am looking for something that I can afford without a problem and that I will be comfy living in for a long while. If it has land great, if not I will settle if I am comfy with the place. I'm in a big hurry to move now since...

you guessed it I woke up to fire alarms this morning. At 4:30AM I thought my alarm clock sounded funny and soon realized it was fire alarms. This time it was the building across the parking lot. Thankfully the building had sprinklers installed when it was rebuilt this past year (it burned down in 2005) and the sprinklers put the fire out.

However, there was water damage to atleast 2 other units, one of which may have been occupied by a local cop. Another surprise, the fire department has already ruled the latest fire as arson. Wonder what gave them that clue

Let's see we do't have gas coming to our apartments since they are all electric units. Could it have been the strong smell of gas that we all smelled coming from the building

Or maybe it was the fact it was the onwer of the complex's apartment that burned this morning? Or maybe it was the gas smell from or near the owner's place

If the fire wasn't enough. They had to turn the water main off to stop the sprinkers so the complex went without water. Now my home phone line doesn't work

Thank god I am able to snag someone's wireless net work or I wouldn't be online right now. The upside...I have an appointment for wednesday with my mortgage broker so hopefully by the end of the week I can start to really look for a house.

Sorry for the ranting...it's just been one hell of a day.

Archangel · 02-26-2007, 06:56 PM

Devlin · 02-27-2007, 09:52 PM

Ughh I hate my apartment complex!!!!

No fires today, but the residents around me and including me are well pissed at the complex. Last night my land line for my phone didn't work until late. Last night and this morning the hot water was hot, but not nearly as hot as it had been. It had been the water would get so hot it would scald you. Residents who units were damaged by water from the fire yesterday were told by the complex they can not break their lease with out paying penalities that amount to $1500+. Others in the complex, including myself, want to break our leases because we don't feel safe here after atleast 2 arson fires in less than 2 months. What can we do? Well I got home to a notice posted by other residents who have reserved a meeting room in the nearby library and we are going to meet to discuss uniting to combat the complex.

Hopefully if we get enough residents together along with the media and a lawyer or two we can get the complex to back down so we can break our leases without killing our checkbooks.

Again sorry for the ranting. It's just the whole situation of worring about if another fire is going to happen, if my building will be next, if I will have water, if my dogs will still be in my apartment or will have they been let loose because of the units being evacuated for some reason. Add in hoping I can get a mortgage I can afford tomorrow, if I can find a house I can be comfy in for many years, a house I can afford, a house I can get into ASAP.

Pylon · 02-27-2007, 10:00 PM

Good luck with the shopping, and I hope you stay safe until then. At the very least, I would put your request to break your lease in writing and ask for a written response. Let the landlord know you are making a record of their stance, and should anything happen to you or your possessions as a result of their inability to provide security after repeated arson incidents and their unwillingness to allow you to leave an unsafe situation will result in serious fiduciary damages owed to you. (And I didn't even go to law school!)

Great advise!!!!

Rant on sweety we know its difficult but you will move on to a better place. Sounds like you guys are getting a handle on all this just make sure you dont let down and dont give up. Keep pressuring them and they will cave.

Push come to shove I can set his place on fire for ya...I just have ways them hillbilly fireman dont know about

Triple Threat · 02-28-2007, 07:01 PM

You should call those folks from CSI - they'd have this thing solved within an hour.

Good luck on the house hunting. The sooner you get out of that apt the better.

Archangel · 02-28-2007, 07:45 PM

Brother Pylon has Great advice, Wishing you nothing but the BEST Sister Devlin!!!

Devlin · 02-28-2007, 10:44 PM

Thanks guys. It's just so friggin frustrating. I have soooo many things up in the air right now in regards to the apartement issues, a mortgage, finding a house that my mind is

Updates....
1. Mortgage...I met with my broker tonight and we firmed up the application with my pay records, bank statements, investment statements, tax returns for 2004, 2005 and yes 2006 (atleast my taxes are done for this year

). My best shot at a mortgage payment that I can afford is via an FHA mortgage. I have to write a letter for it explaining my credit and once that is submitted an approval can take 2-5 days

2. Home search...OMG there are sooo many homes to search through. So many options to ponder. I have my main list of things I would like in a home such as 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, decent size lot (.25 acre or more), non-cookie cutter house (can't stand when all the homes in a development look exactly the same), garage, close to work and my horse's home if possible. However, I am also considering a location that is 20-30 miles from work , but while it is more travel that cost more in gas, it is 10+ acres (home for horse and me

) and listing price is much less than closer to work ($50,000 less).

3. Apartment issues...tonight there was a resident arranged meeting at our local library to discuss the fires and breaking our leases. Our landlord does not want to let us break our leases period even though there is a out written in. The out requires 60 days notice and an extra months rent. Personally, I don't mind giving 60 days notice since in reality it will probably be close to 60 days before all of my ducks will be in a row with a mortgage, a home, settlement on a home. However, I have issues with the extra month rent. I was also having issues with the lack of apparent lack of concern about the safety of the residents. There was about 2 dozen residents at the meeting, an attorney that represents tenants in low income settings and reporters from 2 local news stations. The lawyer basically said that unless our units or building were damaged by the fires, we have to abide by our leases or if there are things in our buildings that need to be repaired we can give notice to the complex that if the repairs are not made in 14 days the lease will be terminated. However, one resident who's unit received significant water damage in the last fire has retained a lawyer who has agreed to represent any resident who wants to break their lease. He will represent the group for $125 an hour and go after the complex to allow us to break our leases without giving the 60 days notice or paying the penalty. A few of the residents present tonight have signed new leases at other complexes or are about to sign at a new complex and some are moving this weekend. Others, like me, are not sure what to do or do not have enough $$$ to pull 2 rents for a month or do not have another place lined up yet. I would like to give notice, but I would also like to have a more secure feeling that I would have a place to move to in say 60 days. In the mean time, the complex is paying off duty police officers to sit in the parking lot at night in uniform and in their cruisers.

Sorry for the novel, it's been a busy evening and I have lots of things to do, think about and decide on. Atleast I will be able to sleep tonight with a police officer sitting in the parking lot where I can see him when I look out.

Pylon · 02-28-2007, 11:02 PM

Sounds like things are getting better and have been made safer. That's a good thing.

when is your lease up?

Burner02 · 03-01-2007, 12:51 PM

Hey you! Well, I told you my position of what to do on the phone. Now...git 'er done!

It's safer with the police here at night, but still too many things have happened here.

It's not up until the end of July.

I know. It's just such a huge step taking the plunge and buying a home/land.

Devlin · 03-04-2007, 12:09 AM

Figured I better check in here since I haven't for a couple of days. I'm still alive and well, living in torch land.

Sorry it's late and I should be in bed, but instead a noise that sounded like a small explosion had me jumping out of bed into the cold in pj's atleast.

After determining it was just a tire blowing out on the highway nearby

, I grabbed the partial bottle of Mike's hard lemonade out of the fridge and proceeded to take the bottle and a mug out onto the balcony where I sat trying to settle my nerves. I would like to say it worked, but instead between my nerves, the breeze and the temps being below freezing I was shaking so bad I retreated inside to check in here and write my letter to terminate my lease.

I half dread breaking my lease right now because I don't have a firm mortgage and even worse I haven't picked a place to put in an offer. Here I am living in a complex that has had atleast 6 arson fires since Aug 2006 and I'm considering staying because I hate taking a chance that everything could fall through on getting a house or that I'll make an offer on a place, but will not be able to move in until after my 60 day notice to leave my apartment. UGHHH why can't life be easier

or why can't I atleast hit the Power Ball

Sorry all, I just can't explain all the feelings, emotions I'm going through right now between excitment, trepidation, nervous, scared, living in fear that there will be another fire at who knows what time and fear that one way or another I may not have a secure roof over my head is got me freaked. Atleast I can see our nightly police officer in the lot which helps a bit. Well off to write a letter.....

Devlin · 03-04-2007, 07:11 PM

Well I did it...I dropped my letter terminating my lease in the mail this evening

I have passed the point of no return. It's either buy a house or rent somewhere else.

Burner....thank you soo much. I know I'm not easy to deal with right now, but you have helped me so much. If only you were here, you could be my realtor

Ohh I also went to the gym today

Cardio & Shoulders

Treadmill
Time: 25 minutes
Miles: 1.67

Max HR: 166

DB shoulder press
15 x 12, 12
20 x 4 ds 15 x 5

Upright rows
30 x 12, 12, 12

Bent over rows
22.5 x 12, 12

The cardio felt great. While on the treadmill I remembered, the American Diabetes Association walk/run is around June2/3 and I want to try better my time for the 2.5 mile run. So time to think about training for it

Shoulders didn't feel bad, but I just kinda muddled my way through a workout. Not really thrilled with it, but it was better than nothing.

Thanks Arch. I want out of my apartment so bad and I would love to get a house with land. The house and land seem so close, but I am sooo scared I will be fighting to survive month to month. I just have to keep taking it one day at a time and hopefully all of the cards will fall into place.

I'm still alive and well, living in torch land. Sorry it's late and I should be in bed, but instead a noise that sounded like a small explosion had me jumping out of bed into the cold in pj's atleast. After determining it was just a tire blowing out on the highway nearby , I grabbed the partial bottle of Mike's hard lemonade out of the fridge and proceeded to take the bottle and a mug out onto the balcony where I sat trying to settle my nerves. I would like to say it worked, but instead between my nerves, the breeze and the temps being below freezing I was shaking so bad I retreated inside to check in here and write my letter to terminate my lease. I half dread breaking my lease right now because I don't have a firm mortgage and even worse I haven't picked a place to put in an offer. Here I am living in a complex that has had atleast 6 arson fires since Aug 2006 and I'm considering staying because I hate taking a chance that everything could fall through on getting a house or that I'll make an offer on a place, but will not be able to move in until after my 60 day notice to leave my apartment. UGHHH why can't life be easier or why can't I atleast hit the Power Ball Sorry all, I just can't explain all the feelings, emotions I'm going through right now between excitment, trepidation, nervous, scared, living in fear that there will be another fire at who knows what time and fear that one way or another I may not have a secure roof over my head is got me freaked. Atleast I can see our nightly police officer in the lot which helps a bit. Well off to write a letter..... Time to get my life and body back Time to face the jury (and myself) Time to bring sexyback

It's either buy a house or rent somewhere else. Burner....thank you soo much. I know I'm not easy to deal with right now, but you have helped me so much. If only you were here, you could be my realtor Ohh I also went to the gym today Cardio & Shoulders Treadmill Time: 25 minutes Miles: 1.67 Max HR: 166 DB shoulder press 15 x 12, 12 20 x 4 ds 15 x 5 Upright rows 30 x 12, 12, 12 Bent over rows 22.5 x 12, 12 The cardio felt great. While on the treadmill I remembered, the American Diabetes Association walk/run is around June2/3 and I want to try better my time for the 2.5 mile run. So time to think about training for it Shoulders didn't feel bad, but I just kinda muddled my way through a workout. Not really thrilled with it, but it was better than nothing. Time to get my life and body back Time to face the jury (and myself) Time to bring sexyback

I've breezed through your new journal and 1) glad to see you're moving forward with housing. I hope you get out of your lease and aren't put out too much. 2) I hope you find a house that you like. 3) Glad to see you back in the groove of things too. I too just got back to land of the living -- so to speak. So I'm runnin' around here hittin' up all of my old haunts!! Hope you're doing well sweetie. All the glory to God! We have a baby on the way.
