Makes another call to his ultra-marvelous-Realtor, asks her a few questions about things she has updated him on umpteen times, and says "oh, sorry for the last 60 seconds or so, I wasn't listening" so he makes her repeat herself, for his own sick entertainment.

We moved to florida from western NC and bought a house while still trying to sell our old house in NC...Well, it isnt selling.We have been paying both mortgages for several months now, and are bleeding money every month.It is too expensive, we cannot afford to continue doing this.So, we are entertaining lease options.We got an offer of 900 month rent, with 3500 down on 18month term.Our mortgage is 1600 a month as we paid 240K for the house only a couple of years ago.So this will not nearly cover our monthly expenses.
