Ok, I didn’t realize you were still living in Seattle. How much time have you spent at your property in Ky?
Respond privately if you want.
We purchased it on a handshake in October of 2008 with the agreement that we would close in summer of 2009. The owner needed two years to complete for capital gains purposes. We then leased it back to them until last November. We both raised steers there for meat. We slaughtered them just before they left.
My best friend and ex-pastor moved there about 5 years ago and after visiting them five or six times and growing a few small roots of our own in the area we bought. We use the place as the equivalent of a “time share” condo now. That is, it is where we go when we want to go somewhere.
We moved out of our five bedroom home last fall into a 1 bedroom condo in Seattle and sold off most of what we owned and put the stuff we wanted in storage. I collect vintage electronics and LOTS of vinyl (records) - and my wife’s equivalent. We plan on taking the stuff to Kentucky in a u-haul in late Spring.
If I cannot get my employer to let me telecommute, I’ll start looking for another job within the month (this month). I’ve been a sales engineer and would be happy to find an equivalent.
