Hey Ladies,

Sorry had to share the good new to my FT family. There is a HUD owned home that my husband and I saw last week. We love to rehab homes. We have only done 2 but we loved it. Anyways, we saw this one and we are renting right now. But we wanting something we could just payoff and not have a house payment. Well we got a 4bedroom house 1900 sqft for 6000!!!! I LOVE THIS HOUSE. It will take us a year to get up to par. But it is beautiful. It has the old natural hard wood trim floors. Shocking enough it is only going to cost about 10000 to do all the repair work. I feel so blessed and so happy... Sorry I had to tell someone. And its to early to call my family LOL

Be Blessed

We already have 5 children. We are trying for our last now. But we are having a really hard time getting preggo... Its really stressfull. I never had problems before and now I keep asking God if I am just not supoed to have more. But we wanted a big family. But there are like 4 rooms down stairs we are going to make one of them into a bedroom. It has a bathroom off of it. So it will be our bedroom.

That is wonderful Marie! Where do you live?!! I would love to rehab houses but my dh and I don't have the know how or resources to do it. I'm happy for you!

We live in Springfield Ohio.. We did not think we would like to rehab. But we love it. It is so fun. My husband works 3days on 4 days off at the hospital. And I am a housewife. So we have plenty of time to work on the home.

Hey Amy,

Yes I will take before and after pics. We did that our first rehab. It takes us about 10 months to do them. Just because we do them in our spare time. But we love it. And don't feel bad about not being able to paid. I did not either until I did my first rehab with my husband LOL...
