I've been getting a few calls from students at the local college but none have really impressed me. Today, I had a really nice gentleman come look at the house. 50 years old, ex military, 2 kids ages 15 and 7. He is getting a divorce and he and his ex-wife will be selling their home. He really liked the property and seems to be a good fit. He is supposed to be closing on the house next week so he will call me tomorrow to discuss everything further.<br /><br />I am really excited and hope he moves in. He even asked if I minded if he put carpet in the basement at his cost. Do I mind? Heck no, right now its just a concrete floor. I had planned to put tile down there but if he puts in carpet, I can save $400-500 bucks. </p> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Singleguymoney @ <a href="http://singleguymoney.blogspot.com/2006/03/i-may-have-renter.html">5:10 PM</a></em> <a class="comment-link" href="comment.g?blogID=17697350&postID=114220171626017355" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17697350&amp;postID=114220171626017355;">2 comments</a> <span class="item-action"><a href="email-post.g?blogID=17697350&postID=114220171626017355"><span class="email-post-icon"> </span></a></span><span class="item-control admin-1274091297 pid-583058276"><a style="border: medium none ;" href="post-edit.g?blogID=17697350&postID=114220171626017355&amp;quickEdit=true"><span class="quick-edit-icon"> </span></a></span> </p> </div> <!-- End .post --><!-- Begin #comments --> <!-- End #comments --> <h2 class="date-header">Saturday, March 11, 2006</h2> <!-- Begin .post --> <div class="post"><a name="114208871466866005"></a> <h3 class="post-title"> 1 Year Comparison </h3> <div class="post-body"> <p> I decided I really wanted to go back and see what changes I've made since I really started to track my finances in March 2005.<br /><br /><strong>Assets</strong><br />March 2005 - $234254.00<br />March 2006 - $240397.08 (as of 3/11/06)<br /><strong>Change - 2.62%</strong><br /><br /><strong>Liabilities</strong><br />March 2005 - $227265.04<br />March 2006 - $210386.51 (as of 3/11/2006)<br /><strong>Change - 7.43%</strong><br /><br />I'm pretty happy to see the numbers going in the right direction (assets up and liab down) but feel I should at least have had a double digit change in liabilities.<br />It will be interesting to compare March 2005 with March 2007 and so forth. </p> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Singleguymoney @ <a href="http://singleguymoney.blogspot.com/2006/03/1-year-comparison.html">9:40 AM</a></em> <a class="comment-link" href="comment.g?blogID=17697350&postID=114208871466866005" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17697350&amp;postID=114208871466866005;">2 comments</a> <span class="item-action"><a href="email-post.g?blogID=17697350&postID=114208871466866005"><span class="email-post-icon"> </span></a></span><span class="item-control admin-1274091297 pid-583058276"><a style="border: medium none ;" href="post-edit.g?blogID=17697350&postID=114208871466866005&amp;quickEdit=true"><span class="quick-edit-icon"> </span></a></span> </p> </div> <!-- End .post --><!-- Begin #comments --> <!-- End #comments --> <h2 class="date-header">Thursday, March 09, 2006</h2> <!-- Begin .post --> <div class="post"><a name="114190865326210598"></a> <h3 class="post-title"> Thursday Talkback </h3> <div class="post-body"> <p> Just a simple question for today: financial freedom or world peace? </p> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Singleguymoney @ <a href="http://singleguymoney.blogspot.com/2006/03/thursday-talkback.html">7:49 AM</a></em> <a class="comment-link" href="comment.g?blogID=17697350&postID=114190865326210598" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17697350&amp;postID=114190865326210598;">8 comments</a> <span class="item-action"><a href="email-post.g?blogID=17697350&postID=114190865326210598"><span class="email-post-icon"> </span></a></span><span class="item-control admin-1274091297 pid-583058276"><a style="border: medium none ;" href="post-edit.g?blogID=17697350&postID=114190865326210598&amp;quickEdit=true"><span class="quick-edit-icon"> </span></a></span> </p> </div> <!-- End .post --><!-- Begin #comments --> <!-- End #comments --> <h2 class="date-header">Sunday, March 05, 2006</h2> <!-- Begin .post --> <a name="114161435675819191"></a> <h3 class="post-title"> 80/20 Mortgage </h3> <div class="post-body"> <p> Anyone that has an 80/20 or an 80/15/5 mortgage...is the second mortgage payment also due on the first or does the second mortgage have a different due date? </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26289584-114525865283603265?l=singleguymoney.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06622049843004201488noreply@blogger.com8
