Still House Hunting...HELP LORD!

After inspection, we turned down the house we were calling home. :( We found out it needed 8,000.00 worth of repairs on an addition that was added to the house. We found out that the previous owners added this addition and soon after were told they had to leave due to not paying their mortgage. Someone came in to fix the addition to get it ready for resale. They did a horrible job that will make that house hard to sell to smart buyers. They didn't want to come down on the price at all or fix the problems.

A week later we had our hopes up on a house I had seen 7 months ago. We were told it was still available for-sale-by owner. Well, after many drives up to see the house, making an offer, and getting excited about the possibility of finally finding our home, once again it was a big disappointment. The sellers decided they wanted more for the house after they had it appraised. We didn't financially qualify for that amount and they knew up front how much we could afford ...so needless to say we were broken hearted! I was very disappointed with the WHOLE situation! God saved us is all I can say from being stuck in yet another money pit! Thank You Jesus!

Here we are a few days later making another offer on a house. We found out it has multiple offers and are given till this Thursday to give our best and final offer. We know that God has a house for us and this may or may not be the one. We know we won't go above what the house is worth so we are offering a reasonable offer, not a high offer! We continue to look, exhausted and all!

This house hunting has really tested our nerves, emotions, and relationship! It has emotionally drained me to the point of exhaustion at times! I know persistence is the key and we shall keep moving on till we find our home!

I will post more as soon as we hear more news on the house. In the mean time, I keep searching!
