In the spirit of not jinxing the whole situation, I will remain calm, and not be too relieved yet.
I just showed our old house to a person who really wants to rent it. Then I got a call from a realtor that has a client that is interested in renting it. This really is pushing the time table as our mortgage on the house is being paid today...due tomorrow. And yes, this month, our mortgage on the new home was paid as well. :smx4:
I know contentment is relative, but for us, if one of these renters (preferably the latter) jumps on board, a great deal of stress will be lifted off of my shoulders and I will feel much better about things. That's worth being happy about...once it happens. It will give us a bit of breathing room, which is worth more than I ever thought it would be. In my 24 years of inexperience, this is the most financial risk I have dealt with...and it's a trying ordeal for my wife and I. When it's all said and done, I hope that I will have gained some confidence and learned some lessons along the way so that I ultimately gain the courage and momentum to jump into the fast lane one hop at a time.
Now, I understand the premise of the thread in another section about being "afraid of the zeros".
Thanks to everyone again who provided feedback in my initial "What would you do" thread. :thankyousign: Here's hoping.:cheers:
