We bought our first home at 119 East Sunrise Dr., Lexington Park, MD in about 1974.
We bought 512 South Main, Lexington, VA in 1977.
Whilst in Lexington, VAl we also bought a house for $12k, which I think we sold for about $21k.
We also bought that house with the dead guy in it.
In 1980 we bought Milledge Circle, Athens Ga.
Whilst in GA, we bought Morton Ave., and
another brick ranch with which we didn't do much.
In Alabama we bought 40 Bellwood, then
4615 Allums, and then
312 Legacy Oaks in Lynchburg, VA.
Today we bought 809 Lakeside, Pl, Northport. We have sold all except these last two.
So, we have bought 11 times, and sold 9, which makes today our 20th closing. In the next few months Kelly and Michael will buy 4615 Allums, making our 21st, and perhaps LAST closing. Maybe not, we shall see.
Closings are interesting. There is always a small bit of tension, in that large sums of money are typically exchanged. We certainly thought so when we paid $29.9k for our first home. Needless to say, today's purchase was a lot more, a bit under 8x more.
But, all went smoothly, thanks be to G^d. We will NOT be moving in immediately, as we are renting the home back to the family from which we purchased it. They are buying a new place and moving in a few weeks. We are excited. Here is the new place,
