house update

Just to keep everyone in the loop.....

We have been discussing buying a house with the old lady who lives there. She can't live there anymore because she's too old and has to move to an assisted living facility. I personally don't think she'll last more then a year in that sort of place because she loves her home and the new place is smaller then her living room. We are the only people who have looked at the house and made her an offer for 90% of what she was asking. We also agreed that she can stay until she is ready to move out, which is September. We also said it wouldn't be a problem sending some of the money directly to relatives in America.

She's been waiting for her son-in-law to meet with us and today she gave us his phone number to discuss it with him. He said - without paying a penny, the house is already yours. She won't sell it to anybody else. (I think he meant without even a deposit). Now all we have to do is meet to argue about the details.

We're still not telling our friends about it yet until we have the papers signed.
So things are looking good in that respect.
