Our real estate journey over the past 5 years has been quite successful. We've been able to flip 2 properties that we called our home. Our last house was one we thought we would never leave. After a long and painful 9-month process of buying a short sale, we vowed it would be our "forever" home. We called this perfect little house home for 2.5 years and remodeled almost every room in it. One day, however, we felt like we should move. We truly feel like the Lord had a plan and this was the next step we needed to take for our family.
Things worked out perfectly once we decided to sell. We never even had to list our house on the market and found a great family in our church who wanted to buy it. The process took about 3 months from start to finish, all the while we were still toying with the idea of building our next house. We knew this was going to be the hardest project we would ever take on, but we were open to the challenge.
We were fortunate enough to be able to move into Patrick's parents' basement while we figured out what our plan was. Over the last 2 months we have done hours of research to see if this is something we were capable of doing. Hiring a builder to build the house was far out of our budget but with an incredibly talented husband and a strong support system, we realized we could build this house ourselves.
One thing we also felt the need to do was to pray often for the answers we were seeking. We wanted to make sure 100%, that this was the right move for our family and that we weren't getting ourselves in over our heads. With many subtle reassurances, we feel like we are heading in the right direction and have decided to move forward with building our dream home.
