Congratulations!

I won't lie: There are occasional days when I miss being able to pick up the phone and call the landlord to tell them something is broken and needs fixing, especially after laying out ~$9k in home repairs/improvements over the past 6 months.

But the good outweighs the bad.

When we moved to Vegas in 2009 we looked at over 100 homes due to the crashed market. There was definitely a correlation in my mind with living like a pig and a home being forced into foreclosure.

Or a different correlation between people whose homes were foreclosed on, and the decent number who then decided to trash the place before leaving.

During the big mid-2000s crash, it wasn't uncommon for foreclosed owners to wreck and strip the inside of the house, removing every cabinet, bathroom fixture, light fixture, exposed pipe, outlet cover, light switch, etc. before leaving.

It got so bad, banks started having to offer "good behavior" money. As in, "if you leave without trashing the place, we'll cut you a check for $XXXX".

congrats

Juniper grows slow. They are sort of an ancient tree. It won't get huge in your life time. Especially there. Ugly, nah, not like a cactus! Enjoy

Congrats..I like Cactus
