Another thing we worked on today was trying to get financing. Having lived outside the USA for so long, I have no credit history from the past 9 years. Despite the fact that we've lived withing our means and have saved enough to buy a house, we're still considered a risk by the banks. I would think that NOT having credit cards would be a good sign, but it's not. So we've finally found a bank who's willing to lend money based on the value and income of the property, and not the history of the applicant. So Effie and I took a ride over to this bank this moring armed with all the documents we could gather on our property. Hopefully we'll hear something back. It would make us breathe a bit easier if we knew that we wouldnt be stranded if we went over our budget due to unexpected things.
