We spent most of the day with the realtor and the loan guy. We put an offer on a house in San Marcos. We weren't super aggressive with the price, so I hope they will accept it.
The talk with the loan officer was amusing. The whole process is geared to matching the loan amount with your income. Only we're retired - we don't have any income. So next they wanted to see fixed income streams. We don't have any. We're living on the money the government stole from us 10 years ago. Nice of them to give it back now, but I wish they'd paid us some interest. We're supposed to get a call tomorrow on what kind of documentation the lenders will want.
We stopped by a computer store to kill some time. One of the things that I miss about Oregon is Fry's. This store isn't anywhere near as nice as Fry's, but they have a decent selection and some good prices. We also made a short stop at a high end audio store. It's got nice stuff, but I'll probably end up buying in Oregon. Doing so represents an immediate 9% reduction in the cost.
