I should be down in the area either Friday or Saturday and would love to take a look. I might be able to arrange financing if it would be a good fit.

Besides after some of the places I have had to live over the years I think there will be little problem dealing with a couple of wigger punk ass adolescent bitches in very short order.

The big question is do their parents give a shit at all about their get? If so it wraps up quick. If not it wraps up a little bit slower...but still wraps up one way or the other in the end.

Drop us a line (jess at jesshartley dot com) and I'll send you our phone number. We've got Autumn's school carnival friday night, and I've got a book signing/event early saturday morning but other than that we'll be around (and the thing Friday night won't run too late). We'd love to show you the place (Although the front yard and such are not yet up to what I'd like them to be before we put it "out to show".)

The parents are, on one side, a likely mentally diseased/disabled woman trying to raise 3 kids on her own with not nearly enough social skills (but she's related to the off-site owner in some way, so likely won't move) and, on the other side, a mostly-absent mom with a possible live-in boyfriend. They do give a shit, but have pretty much lost control of the 11 year old. Flat out told me to call the cops last time he and his friend were tearing up saplings down the street.

Don't get me wrong, there are some /great/ folks in the neighborhood too. And, for the most part, even the negative stuff is low level. No guns, no rampant vandalism, and the breakins stopped several years ago when one of the older kids went to jail for almost a year.

But with us having a 10 year old daughter, I just don't like the kinds of kids who are bracketing us on each side, and I wouldn't sell the house to a friend without being straight with them about it.
