Have you thought about developing the software and then selling it to them or selling the rights or creating a service agreement as a subcontractor? That sort of stuff pays big bucks over here. I can only assume it'd be the same there.

Actually I did think of that. There is one product that is used by virtually all props warehouses and it sucks badly. It's a VB front end and isn't web enabled, and all the companies pay something like $4,000 per month to use it.

I think if we develop something better, we'd be able to sell it to the other props houses. There aren't many of those places though. This is probably why they pay so much for the software.

well, things are brewing. We may still end up buying this house. The first counter-offer fell through, they came back to us and asked us to bump our offer by 1.5%.

We said no, our realtor said, "Yes!" and he's paying the difference out of his commission. We find out tomorrow!

But you will be making more by then, and the mortgage will be the same, so you just might be able to swing it with her home.

Isn't that the truth.

Here is a good example of why I don't mind living in GA, this is a sample of what good rural property will cost you:

The cost of living is so low that even if I made the same amount of money in a big city it would not even compare to how far my $ goes in the South.

The land is nice, but you've got to live around a lot of rednecks, hillbillies, and people who voted for Bush...on purpose.

Are there any negatives? lol

When you have enough room between you politics don't matter.

smoothmoniker 01-15-2009 02:44 PM

We just bought a house. Holy crap, I'm gonna be poor again.

TheMercenary 01-15-2009 02:51 PM

Congrats! So I guess you got what you wanted.

glatt 01-15-2009 02:56 PM

that's freaking awesome. It's a beautiful place too. You'll need to give us a tour once you move in.

smoothmoniker 01-15-2009 03:05 PM

On the left is the room we rent to hobos to help make the mortgage payment, on the right is the cavernous whole in the floor that we can't afford to fix, upstairs you'll find the bucket I sit on when I weep in despair at our current poverty, and down here in the basement is where we keep all of the hopes and dreams that we will never be able to fulfill.

Welcome home!

classicman 01-15-2009 03:40 PM

Woo Hoo! Way to go! Congrats!! !! !!

Pie 01-15-2009 03:48 PM

Congratulations, sm! I hope you and your family will be happy there.

TheMercenary 01-15-2009 03:53 PM

So what is monthly payment on a place like that going to cost you, if you don't mind me asking?
