   Long drive today and of course no sleep last night. 🙄 the last few hours are going to be a challenge, later tonight! We're off to buy a house (right up there on the Most Stressful Things To Do list) in another state (because let's ratchet up the stress another notch) to move and start a new job this summer that has more potential but less reliability than my current one (hello fear, my old friend--I've come to talk to you again...). I'd say I'm too old for this s*** but apparently, not yet.

     @chiasm Why buying then instead of renting? (not meaning to add more uncertainty 😅)

     @chiasm Oh, so then if you leave you can easily subrogate it?

     @tagomago Renting is worse in the current market where we are. You can basically rent a washstand for 2/3 of a mortgage...

     Basically transferring the mortgage to another buyer.

     @tagomago I dont know what subrogate means. What are you asking? It may not be something our housing market does ...

     @tagomago oh! When we sold our house before, we just paid the bank mortgage off of the sale--the buyer gets their own new mortgage. I've heard of transferring the mortgage, but I don't know why anyone would do that.

     @chiasm Oh, I see... Probably easier that way, yes. :D
