JUST teasin'...well kinda.

I don't like when the under 55 groups say stuff that makes me feel like I am past being fun and alive and interesting and try to start clubs to exclude us kinda more mature and interesting folks.

Whoops, Champion just got on me for hijacking another thread and he is my friend. I don't want to aggravate the man.

I always enjoy reading your posts, this one is as my students would say "too funny"

Another example: If the home is 20 years old, you would only be able to get a 10 year mortgage. At the end of 10 years, you would have to sell for cash, unless you're willing to hold the mortgage yourself. No insurance company will hold a mortgage on a home that can't be insured. You would have to find a buyer who's not worried about being uninsured. And, of course, if you hold the mortgage, there would be a risk to you as the mortgage holder.

does that mean that most of the homes are not insured in the those villages? do you think things might have changed since you spoke with that insurance company or that another insurance company would have a different point of view toward writing insurance there?

Recently got a 30 year mortgage on a 25 year old home. Getting homeowner's insurance was no problem.
