We were sitting around at our office listening to tales about the ones we lose. We lament the sales that fall through. My particular story was about this lovely young woman that I'd walked through the processes of getting her approved for USDA Rural Development Direct Financing. Now that is a hard thing to do and rarely are we successful. If you are not familiar with the loan, it is one that the government will subsidize so your payments are very low for a very nice house.
We chose the house; the funding was available; we were waiting for the appraisal.
She called me up and said, "I've changed my mind about the house. I drove my boy friend by it and he said he couldn't live there and he convinced me that I should buy a mobile home and place it on his land." Just like that!! Boy friend sways her to do something she is probably not wise to do! I warn her about the possibility of her putting her money into a mobile and not owning the land. If they split, she'd have to move the mobile home off.
Later, as we sat around and I cried over my bad luck they all agreed that it wasn't a good idea. What I loved most was the last statement.....
"That's right.....she'd have to move it and she couldn't even take her septic tank with her!"
