So Tuesday afternoon we bid on the cottage with a nice view and lost, Maggie saw a house in Oshawa that was taking offers in the evening so we decided to try our hand (without seeing it lol) and well we won lol.

We went to see it yesterday afternoon and it’s alright, the house is small but some neighbors are starting to knock down these older homes to build bigger ones.  The area is ok too, closer to central Oshawa which is poorer but this house is nestled in a nicer pocket.  The rents in the area are pretty good so it’ll help pay down all the debt I’ve accumulated lol.

Technically we have some conditions attached to the buy so if I wanted I could back out but finding a detached house under $600k in Durham is almost impossible now so I can’t see us backing away even though it’ll need a bit of work to bring up to snuff.

Yay for building equity but I am guessing a cottage is probably out of the question this year now. 🙁
