Naja, as the ridiculously high property taxes in your area are one of your reasons for moving house are you planning to move out of Jackson county? I believe you have said you plan to stay the KC area.

RN Sugar, it's this particular house that has high property taxes. The homes I've been looking at nearby have taxes sometimes less than half of mine.

That really is crazy.. Will your buyers be stuck with the higher amount?
Have you survived your wait time yet?

RN I'm sitting in my car with three dogs across the street from my house. There are so many people in my house right now it looks like they're having a party and they didn't invite me. LOL this is crazy!

RN If I make an offer it will just be a back up offer. But here's a sneak peek. And it has 2 full baths! Which would mean if I rented a room, I could charge more because they could have their own bathroom.

Did they use AI to change the pictures? I read an article about it the other day. Realtors post the pictures of what the house COULD look like if YOU invest the money, and they don't post pictures of what the house actually look like. It's all very shady.

Usually, Realtors will use HDR on the images, which make the house and yard look more vibrant than it really is. Unsightly areas might be touched up by the photographer. It’s what a lot of realtors have done for years. Not sure if AI has made it in yet.

Oh, AI has made it in. This isn't the article I originally read, but it's close enough.
Realtors Are Using AI Images of Homes They’re Selling. Comparing Them to the Real Thing Will Make You Mad as Hell

RN, why is going to Verizon like dealing with a used car salesman! ugh my head is spinning from all the different deals and plans. Then when i say something doesnt look right they have to go behind the iron curtain to talk to the Wizard to get an answer and low and behold a better deal!!! After all said and done I ended up with a loyalty discount...why couldnt they just offer from the start...I had to wear them down first! lol

By the way, my neighbor who moved to a new home on the UC Irvine campus (which they only got because her husband works there.. He is an MD and PhD and has his own research lab.. Anyway they rented their place to a friend and will rent a room and bath (friend gets master suite).. I told her about my friend Naja renting rooms to traveling employees so they are furnishing the room and advertising. They also have an apartment over the garage rented out. (I don't have such an apartment).
Anyway she was bringing in a TV today. All inspired by you, Naja! I did warn them about trainee nuns.
No dog sitting, though.. The first renter has a pair of orange cats..

RN That's awesome, Sea! Traveling medical professionals are the best tenants. They work long hours.
About the house.... My agent sent over the addendum to the contract to include contingency, and it was sent back at 10:30 last night all signed

So are there more potential places to check out?
Yes.. We are one mile from Orange Coast Memorial and while they might have a car, there is also a bus stop right in front of our complex and across from that hospital. And another hospital, now part of UC Irvine, in our city, which isn't large.
Others all over our county.
And Nicole likes the idea of them not being permanent. They must be ok with cats, though.
I would have never thought to suggest it, and Monica and Nicole wouldn't have thought of it if I hadn't been following here.
Also our complex is on the same corner as two gas stations, Albertsons and Ralph's, tons of restaurants, TJ Maxx, and so many stores..
