 Story
2017
This was without a doubt the most difficult year for our family. The owner of
the house we were renting in Tanegashima said he might be thinking about
returning to the island someday and said we should beging thinking about moving.
Although there was no time limit given, we decided to take matters into our own
hands and move anyway. We found another house in Minamitane town but right
before we were to meet the owner, we found out it had already been rented. We
completely changed the plan and decided to return to America and give it one
more try there. I still owned my condominium and had all my personal stuff
stored there. It was a matter of time before we had to return anyway. The
thought of moving to the condo with two young boys was unacceptable and I came
up with an alternative plan. I found a home up in the San Diego County mountains
and began negotiating the sale of the condo and the purchase of the mountain
property, all online. Thanks to the help of our friends and an incredible real
estate agent, I was able to pull it off. We moved to the mountains during the Summer.
It took only about three months to realize how awful this place was. It took
about another three months to prepare the property, mostly the outside
landscaping, for sale. We sold the property for a pretty nice profit and moved
out in January of 2018, a mere six months after we moved in there. I plan to
post a very detailed account of this really interesting story. |
