Yesterday I was choosing MAiDs since everything was falling apart. I could not find a place to live. I still can't. Yesterday I was out and out panicing. I am slowly getting rid of everything i own in anticipation of moving to BC. But this morningit has all changed again.
I didn't limit my search for a place to live to any one province or city. I just looked for home or properties in my price range anywhere in Canada. I was hoping for BC because the weather is so much better and with my fibromyalgia that makes a big difference. But the drawback of leaving Ontario is that I lose my ODSP. So knowing this I thought I would give Ontario one last shot.
I found a real estate agent way up in Georgina Ontairo. She sells mobile homes in a park for reasonable prices. Today we had a sit down facetime going through 2 of these homes. I loved them both. She has two more to show me coming up for sale next week. Once I see them, I will arrange a trip out there. She said to stay in the radison (the safest and cleanest) and make a weekend or short get-away out of it as this motel is right on the waterfront.
When there I can then view the homes myself and if I buy one, do the inspeciton and paperwork while staying there. It would be so much easier if I just had a car. But I dont. And my life seems to be all about adapting. And so I will adapt without a car. I asked if I was close enough to groceries with a taxi and she said I was.
So now I am excited again. If i stay in Ontario I get to keep my whole monthly income of $1565.97. Now most people would think that is a pittance to live on. But if i can get my mortgage payment as low as $200? I can easily swing this. I am QUEEN of budgeting. i can stretch a penny like it's rubber.
My head is still all over the place though. Things seem to change hourly - not daily. And with that in mind, this could fall through as well. My biggest concern? Financing. It would be so much easier to swing with a mortgage. But can I even get financing??? I really dont' think they will give it to me. Which is why I am not allowing myself to get too excited. This could all fall apart in an instant if i cant get accepted for a mortgage.
I have a huge down payment so I am hoping becasue the mortgage will be so small they will give it to me. But I need to be prepared if I can't get the financing.
Fingers crossed,....
