We made an offer on day four. Here's what that was actually like.

We were paying nearly $3,000 a month in rent and were never going to save a down payment on a $750K house. I saw a converted church listed for $200K on an old-house Facebook page and genuinely didn't believe it. So I started looking at everything in the area, and the numbers kept being real.

We flew out. By day four we'd fallen for the town and put in an offer.

If you're renting somewhere expensive and working remotely, the version of this that's scary isn't the house. It's the unknowns. That's the part I can take off your plate, because I just did it.
