We moved to Maryland just over a year ago, and spent a good portion of 2014 tearing down the house we bought and building our new personal residence.

September 4, 2009

We just can’t seem to get that 13th house purchased…as of today, we’ve backed out of purchase of The Skyline House… I really hate backing out of deals, but there were three reasons we backed out of this one: The title company was having issues getting clear title to the property. We were supposed to […]
