In March Curbed LA put on a contest for the story of some one's worst home buying experience; the winner of that story could receive $1,800 (more than a month's mortgage payment!!!). As my avid readers know (Sandy, Monica) I did not have a terrible home buying experience, it was the reverse; easy with no pit falls.
Well, I e mailed Curbed (for those that don't know, Curbed LA is a Real Estate blog devoted to the big happenings in the City of Los Angeles' transit and real estate news. I read it religiously) and asked if they would take a story from some one who "didn't fuck up." They said yes.
Well, I wrote something and it ended up on their website
As a side note, there is a back story as to why I called myself Countrywide's #1 trashman. When I was interviewing for a position in Correspondent Lending the person interviewing me asked if I had any 'foreclosure or distressed asset experience' in reply I called myself Countrywide's #1 Trashman. If your file came across my desk you were already in a world of hurt.
That has been the big event for this month. Things at the condo continue to not come along, I still haven't decided on what to do with that bath room of mine. But, I did buy a new cat box which looks more like a piece of furniture than a cat toilet; small miracles will never cease.
