I did it! I finally sold my house! The inspection even went great. The ectasy is quickly wearing off and panic is setting in. I have yet to find a new house to buy and it’s not looking good.

There are a few issues I’m facing. I have to wait until I close on my house and get the cash from the proceeds in order to buy my next house. Another issue is my budget is on the lower end so the home I buy will be a fixer upper. Lastly, I won’t compromise on location. I need to be in the middle of nowhere, no neighbors in sight. Finding a home in my price range with privacy is possible, but none are move in ready. They need substantial work first.

What now? The projected closing date is November 9. I’ve been to dozens of homes and none are safe enough to live in with my kids without rehab first. I need options and I need them fast.
