For those of you who don't know me (I don't post too often anymore) here's a bit of background:
We ended training in 06 and took our first job. Job wasn't all that it was cracked up to be so we moved and decided to rent (even though we DID sell our house) in 2010. During the year we rented, we were involved in three failed negotiations to buy a house. We DID find a house we love which ended up being a foreclosure and a great deal so our house journey ended well!
The houses we bid on but were turned away after several rounds all went "short sale" routes in the last few months. They sold for 200,000 less than we offered and 400,000 to 500,000 dollars less than they paid 6 to 8 years ago. WOW.
