Went to see the broker today

On the way over to the finance officer’s office today for a meeting during an extended lunch, Iain got rear-ended at a stoplight. Luckily, neither one of us appears to have been injured, and the car really just has more character now that it’s rear door is concave instead of flat. Also, I got to my meeting on time, even if my finance officer kept me waiting a couple of minutes. So, while I went over information about buying a home, Iain made many calls to insurance companies, friends, family, the police, etc., letting them know about the events that had occurred. Hopefully that will be resolved fairly.

I do not have an actual Pre-Approval yet, but based on my credit history (good, with low outstanding debt) and income I may be able to afford as much as $115,000 with no money down. Interestingly, I am still also considering renting, if I can find a better option that I can find in a home for under $115k. Whatever. Bottom line is that I need a place to live, and plenty of options are available.

Oh, and Iain will be even more pleased when he gets a replacement vehicle in the (relatively) near future.

  1. Consider historic neighborhoods in Tempe that may be on the rise. In Phoenix many areas have been renovated and were recently around the $50 to $70k range, now at $150+. I would guess that the same might happen in Tempe. City employees are going to be offered money to move to the town of Tempe, and a property value increase may happen around or just after that takes effect.

    My fixer-upper house in Phoenix cost around $72k and my friend’s (in good condition allready) cost around $90k.

    Just thought you might like the info.

  3. I am sorry to hear about the accident. I am glad that you are both okay. (Really surprised that you made it to your appointment on time!)

  5. As of right now, the owner of the vehicle has requested that we keep the insurance companies out of it. I am going to speak with him today and tell him that is fine so long as after I get my estimates and give him my number, it is paid to me in money order or cashier’s check form within 48 hours. If this does NOT occur, then I will want to pursue things through his insurance company’s claims adjuster.

    I cannot speak for Teel, but I personally do not feel any pain in my neck or back from the incident, so I think I’ll be fine medically.
