I need your help.   We just found out tonight that the mortgage is definitely being bought out on our complex which means that by as early as September 1st we could lose our Apartment, we may have more time but we were strongly urged to find other living arrangements.  It would take too long to go into the full details but I am asking for everyone to keep your eyes open for a house for us.  Preferably to buy (I mean low income house here, we have only been approved for 115k) but at this point even a rental house would be okay.  If you would like to know our limits just send me an email at kimmid@comcast.net  We are looking in Nashua and surrounding areas.   I have been in freak out mode all night.  We are going to see a house tomorrow that needs a TON of work.  I am not even sure if the mortgage company will look at it due to the amount of work it needs but it is huge, with a 2 car garage and close enough it would only add about 15 minutes on to my commute.  We NEED this to work.  I have been trying to not let on the severity of how bad things are for us here because I was sick of sounding pathetic but this was just a giant cherry on top.  We have been working hard to try and get out of here and keep getting our feet kicked out from underneath us from medical bills, car issues and everything else.   I need all the dust you can spare and your eyes if you don't mind sharing.  This was hard to write, so please don't think bad of me.

We live in Raymond and have been looking at houses in this area.  We found condos/houses anywhere from $99,000 to $224,000.  I dont know if this will help but maybe if you just look you'll see something.  I usually check out remax.com.  good luck. house dust to you!!!

Kim, I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time Can I give you a touch of advice? This huge house you're referring to - will you be physically & financially able to make all the repairs it needs? Will you be able to heat such a large & (based on it's condition) inefficient house with energy prices being as high as they are? like a PP said, have you thought of a smaller 2-3 bedroom condo for the time being, then when you're in better condition (financially) maybe upgrading to a house? I know there's something out there for you, Kim. You're such a smart, determined woman and things will all work out for you in the end (even thought maybe it doesn't seem that way for now). Throwing all the **HOME** dust I have your way, and wishing you and your family the very best. Oh, and a **HUG** too.

Kim, I wish I knew of some places and I am sorry that you and your family are going through this I will keep you all in my prayers - something WILL work out, it just has to, with all the bad luck you have had so far...

There is a modular/manufactured housing neighborhood in Nashua (on 111, towards Pepperell) called Trestle Brook.  They are mostly ranch style houses.  There are some in the market all of the time, and most are in the $110K - $130K+ range. 

The only issue is the houses are small (about 1000 sq. ft) and are treated like a condo.  You don't own the land, and have to have a fee for upkeep, trash, plowing, etc. 

Just thought I would throw the idea out there, good luck!!

Oh Kimmie I am so sorry that all this happening to you.  I will keep positive thoughts for you and say some prayers and also keep my eyes open!

I'm so sorry you are going through this.

UM WOW!!  Thanks so much!! It was amazing to see how everyone responded.  Here is what i have for answers and some comments to help explain our situation.

Ann11/11  I am in nursing school and i cant be that far away from school when clinical start.  My clinicals can be as far south as Andover MA and Woburn MA so i really need to stay close to Nashua or i will never be able to sleep between work, school, clinicals and studying.  If we became desperate we would but it would seriously affect how well i could work. 

KimberlyD   I really dont want the kids going to school in MA.  I worked in a school in MA and had some issues.  Plus taxes are so much more expensive.   On the offset of my note to Ann, my clinicals can be as far north as Concord.  So again, stuck in the Nashua.  I am going to try and continue working full time, have 8 hours of class, 16 hours of clinicals and the needed study time.  God forbid i get time with the kids.. lol  so spending  2 hours each way commuting.... not so good.

Heather  We have already found many of those rentals, thanks for the new ones.   

Mikes Bride- the problem with places like Trestle Brook and condo's in general are that you have have your mortgage, your taxes, the insurance, and then the HOA fees.  That is what gets us.  The HOA fees are killer.  $3-400  We cant afford it.  We had already tried to find a place in Trestlebrook.  We liked the idea of a neighborhood like that.

Thanks so much and i am not being all negative nelly.  We have just spent probably thousands of hours looking for houses and budgeting and all that.  We are very aware of what we can afford.  Robbie is a stay at home dad and spends literally 3-4 hours a day looking for houses, calling realtors, checking out anything he can find online and following up.  OTher than the rentals (which we just started looking into) there isnt a house in the Nashua area that we have not researched.  It is soooooo frustrating.   I know something will come up and we will be fine. But little things stand in our way.  The house we were goingto see tonight.... the property realtor cancelled the showing, with no reason.  My realtor, who is my boss, called and left a message to find out what is going on.  It just feels so hopeless.  Ughhhhh

Kim I will be thinking about you and praying that this situation works out for you soon!  There's got to be some place out there for you!  Keep us updated and never feel bad about posting, you know we love to share our dust!
