I am no longer a property owner in Texas! Yeeee Hawwww!

[DemoTex]

We closed on the sale of our Dallas house this afternoon. What a relief! We have a lease back through 4/30 to coincide with Mrs. Ds office lease expiration.

I'll be hitting the road back to NC in a couple of days.

1. Did it appreciate?

[DemoTex]

11. +33% over eight years ...

But we had to put a lot into the house too. We probably came out slightly ahead. At least we didn't lose money.

2. We'll miss ya, but congrats and have a safe trip to NC...

:thumbsup:

3. Perhaps If the GOP eventually gets it's way...

Only land property owners will be allowed the vote... (I've heard this brought up on RW radio several times)

Of course, I'm not sure how they would prevent people from owning 1 foot square "properties".

4. I'm covered

Wonder how many of the drooling morons who listen to that crap are?

7. It's often brought up when you have two properties in two distinct locales

Since you typically can only vote in one jurisdiction, you can only vote where one property is located - it's the old taxation without representation argument...but that could be extended to lots of things (Like when you live in state X, but go to state Y and pay sales tax)

5. Good Democratic votes in Texas are worthless anyway

Governor Easley needs your vote this November.

6. Congratulations!

I hope I'll be joining you in another year or 2....

8. Glad you're outta there, Mac.

I escaped Texas in 1979, and have only been back twice. Now invade North Carolina and bring them Democracy! ;-)

9. Good going, DT! Home is where the heart is...

But it helps to be there, too. Glad you'll be a Tarheel again soon!

Best to you -- :toast:

10. I'm soooo jealous!

Where did the big monkey that was on your back go? I hope you didn't send him this way! Congrats! I'm almost where you are now and I can't wait! Well...I'm going from Mass. to New Hampshire but it's still a kick!

[DemoTex]

14. Thanks, Raven

Seems I remember that you are selling a house too. Our Dallas house had been on and off the market for over three years. Actually, it has been off the market since last April. I guy called me in NC several weeks ago and wanted to know if I'd sell. We dealt direct (no realtor). It was a sweet deal for both of us. Good luck to you. The last few days before closing are the worst.

[Raven]

15. I am so happy for you!

And happy that it has been a sweet deal! My house is under agreement as of about two weeks ago...two young kids (by my standards!) she is expecting her first child. I can't tell you how much that pleases me!! But it's never over till it's over and I wish you well and I'll be thinking of you! :hi:

[DemoTex]

16. How do you spell relief?

S-O-L-D!!

[citizen snips]

12. See you in N.C. Demo Tex!

welcome back.:hi:

13. From the worst of the South to the best

Now you're 100% Carolinian!
