Jay and I are so happy! The owner accepted our bid, on the property we're interest in buying. Thus, we have just become the new owners of a nice lot in Tawas City.
Jay drove to Bay City today, to tie up some business deal with a friend. He called to let me know, that John(the realtor)had returned Jay's phone message, with very good news.
We had looked at twelve other lots. Three of them, the building requirements were crazy! The previous owner determines what style of home a newbie can build:( NOPE!
One lot was sitting like a soup bowl, in a nice neighborhood. Whenever it rains, all those property owners are sitting on higher ground! So, where does the excess water flow? Onto the vacant lot, of course! lol
Three lots were really nice, located just outside Essexville. The owner refuses to split up these lots, to the tune of $50,000! What? Are they crazy?
Two other lots were in Essexville, one was way too small. Another lot, the structure of a new home has to be at least 1,800 square feet of living space. Goodness, for two retired people? NOPE!
Three lots in AuGres along US-23 were nice, probably about 12 miles from Tawas City. We were considering one of these lots, until we spotted a small piece of property, walking distance from where we're renting a home.
We went to the realtor and put a security deposit down, for this plot of ground. As of today, this is where we will start building our new home! Yippee:)

Today, the sky in our future is cloudy. We need God to iron out the wrinkles, in our personalities.

We won't need to drive a long distance, to work on our property this summer. It's very convenient!

It's not a real big lot, which is OK. We only need room enough for a house, garage, and a back building. The yard can be trees and shrubs, I really don't care.

Good for you. I don't remember that your were renting so I'll have to see if and when that happened and read all about it.
(I'm back somewhat. It's hit and miss).

This property is 1/2 block from where we are renting. It's very convenient, going over to do the work.
