On to my next adventure!

No new entries in February? Hmm... must have been an uneventful month. (NOT)! February was my busiest so far. Where do I begin? I started a new position (SENIOR mental health therapist!!), I'm house hunting and I'll be seeing more of the Treasure Coast in the next few months ;-) I put my paperwork together for my state internship- I'm actually waiting on one letter and I'll have my new supervisor sign off. Ahhhhh....one step closer to licensure!

The house hunting part is fun, too. I am just at the beginning of it all but I'm adding to my wish list. I haven't even narrowed down to whether I want a townhouse or single, but I do know I want a 2-story home. I can hear Poppy's voice in the back of my head, "Don't buy a townhouse, you won't have a yard, you have to pay hoa fees, you don't own the land". A yard? I don't need one. I won't be planting trees, I don't have kids or pets to worry about and if I feel the need to run around in the grass, I'll visit them for the weekend ;) HOA fees? Mortgage/taxes/HOA would still be less than rent. I found a 3/2 with a garage just south of the Gardens for 65k. Great neighborhood and gated community. I found out that most of the homes in that community sold for over 200k 6 years ago. I don't mind buying in this low- I have no plans on reselling if I can get it cheap. My neighbor put some bids on a couple of houses there.

I also found this 'hidden' area south of Jupiter (near FAU). Beautiful townhomes- similar architecture to the apartment community I live in but even nicer. It's off of a really pretty tree-lined street and sort of curves off into its own corner of the neighborhood. Those homes are going for $120-$155. Not bad but the hoa fees are pretty steep.

I LOVE palm beach county but work is calling me elsewhere. So in the meantime, I'm having Timmy play real estate agent and help me find some nice places up and down the coast. He's well connected in the area and I need a real 'insiders' point of view of all the neighborhoods here. I'm also keeping my ears open incase my neighbor has any tips for me. This is SOOOO exciting. The next couple of months had better fly by :)
