By The Time I Got To Phoenix

I already had an investment realtor (transported Canadian in fact our father's were both born in small town of Hudson's Bay Sask!!) and a mortgage broker who works with other Canadians buying in Arizona. I was staying at the Flying J in Phoenix the first night here and they picked me up next morning and took me to a foreclosure auction...that got me into the phoenix real estate fast lane. They were so generous ..I learned so much saw 150 homes sell in just over 3 hours..that was exciting..most of these forclosures here are from investors who overbought when it was hot to as Phoenix has 500 people moving here a day ...mostly from California...so it is a happening city especially for Snowbirds and Canadians looking to buy. By Monday I was all over town looking at properties for my partners and I found one...

In the middle of all this the Old Empress had some issues.. like i ran out of propane so no heat, had old pre regulation tank with stripped nuts or something, old tubes, still taking dishwater out to dump it as still had leak under sink, still peeing in a bucket as not using my bathroom and didn't have sewer hose and hookups.. then lights went out cause the converter for 2nd battery which switches my power over to ac when on land power doesn't work and didn't know that until i was in one place for longer than a day..and they don't make them anymore ..so had to get a battery charger to keep 2nd battery going and lights on. So I have been sooo busy I was too tired to blog!! but I am parked now and not moving for few days so appreciate those of you who were checking in on me..thanks Kari..
