I’m putting a bid in on a house today. This is serious business. I think that I’ve done as much research, planning and judgment as possible. I’ve consulted friends, neighbors, countrymen, undocumented immigrants, stray cats, augurer and haruspex. I’ve even done the math n times. Everything seems to be working out. Even with all of that, I’m still ridiculously nervous. I feel like I’m missing or forgetting something. Mom is the only one who thinks I’m moving too quickly, it may be this that is troubling me, since I respect her experience. The place is a two-unit colonial built in 1900, on a stable residential street and off-street parking. Even without a tenant upstairs, the mortgage should be easily affordable. I’m jumpy. What!

fare ye well, my friend.
I wouldn’t worry about feeling like you moved too fast. We didn’t move fast enough the first time we put a bid in and missed out, lucky for us the people that beat us on the bid had theirs fall through so we could follow up.
If you decide you want to do some fixing up, let me know. I’ve had some experience with that now and would be happy to consult or even to help if I can work it into my schedule.
