The Delimma
Sometimes we find ourselves in real pickles… and this one is a doozy.
I have no doubt that God is going to provide… but sometimes you need to get input from others.
First off this is not going to affect our next production… Because I have secured a back up studio just in case.
As I previously mentioned, my landlord sold the property that Intellectual Froglegs calls home… and I have until May 30 to vacate.
My financials are strong… verified by bank accounts and tax returns… perfect payment history per my current landlord…my references are strong… One of them is Chuck Woolery… and as if ‘under the tutelage’ of Dave Ramsey… I have no debt. Zero.
Everything I own… I pay cash for. Including my 2015 car
I had been assured by the landlord—that I would not have to move until after November 2022… so this was completely unexpected. And I was not prepared.
Looking for a place
The housing market is insane. There's nothing left. Everything selling/renting like hotcakes… Expensive hotcakes.
So here we are…
I found two properties that I have applied for… both approximately the same price.
Property 1 - Application submitted & Reviewed. Technically Accepted, but ridiculous. Bottom Line: I think they’re lefties.
None of my strong & reliable financials count… All they care about is I have NO CREDIT. Requirement : ONE YEAR PAID IN ADVANCE.
Thoughts: As ridiculous as that is… it’s the only sure thing. Then I wouldn’t have a rent payment for a year. But makes little difference—I don’t have an extra 25k laying around… but with prayer—- there’s a ‘slight chance’ I might be able to borrow it somewhere.
Property 2 - Application was submitted Thursday night… Still Pending. It’s actually the nicer of the 2 properties. It's located on part of a farm… With fiber optic internet.
The owners have not yet responded to the management company.
THE PICKLE
I have until 4 PM tomorrow (Tuesday May 10) to accept the ridiculous offer on Property 1.
I REALLY want to wait for Property 2. But I may get rejected all together.
I have about two weeks to get out of here.
What would you do? Any ideas?
