Zininzi izizathu zokuba kutheni abantu bengenzi ukuba bangene-emva kosuku emva kokuba isibonelelo samkelwe: Inkxaso-mali yakho ayidluli, uhlolo lutyhila imiba ephambili, okanye awuhambi ngokukhawuleza ngokwaneleyo. Kodwa umba omnye oqhele ukuva ngawo? Umthengisi uyaxhasa.
Kunqabile ukuba umthengisi abuyele kwintengiso, utshilo u-Alex Lehr, umnini Indawo yokuThengisa izindlu eSan Carlos, eCalifornia. Ngelishwa kumhlaba nomhlaba, nokuba yeyiphi na enokuba yinto elungileyo ukuyenza, konke kuya kwi-WDTCS… 'Ithini ikhontrakthi?' Lehr utsho. Ukuba akukho magatya okuphuma kumthengisi, ngokuqinisekileyo umthengi unelungelo lokunyanzela intengiso.
Nangona oku kunqabile-kuyenzeka. Ndifuna ukwazi ukuba ndiyazi njani loo nto? Kuba le yenye yazo yenzeke kum ngamabali. Ewe kuye kwafuneka ndimke kwikhaya lam lamaphupha kuba umthengisi usibuze ukuba angabuya na. Kwaye njengoLehr utsho-bekuxhomekeke kum nakumyeni wam ukuthi ewe okanye hayi. Nangona kuvakala ngathi umthengisi wayebaleka nje, inzima ngakumbi kunoko, ke masiqale ekuqaleni.
Njengaye nawuphi na ozinikeleyo kwi-HGTV, umyeni wam kunye nam senze uluhlu lwazo zonke izinto indlu yethu yamaphupha eya kuba nayo. Senze iikholamu ezimbini: Enye ibambe izinto ezingathethathethaniyo njengomoya ophakathi kunye nesishamba sokuhlambela impahla, kwaye enye inezinto ezintle ezenziwayo kodwa ezinganyanzelekanga, njengeveranda enkulu yangaphambili kunye neendlela zokuhamba ezinokuthi zisetyenziswe ziintombi zethu ezincinci. hamba uye esikolweni. Nje ukuba siqale ukuzingela izindlu, kwaye sibone ukuba intengiso inikezela ntoni, satshintsha uluhlu lwethu ukumela ngokuchanekileyo imozulu ebesiyothenga kuyo-sahlala ngokufuna indlu enamathambo alungileyo esiza kuthi ekugqibeleni siyenze eyethu. Emva kokuba sithandane noVictorian ogqibeleleyo, ohlaziyiweyo kwindawo yezikhukula, safumana ikoloniyali ethandekayo kwisitrato esineemithi kude kancinci kunokuba besilindele. Bendingazi, le pivot ukusuka ephupheni ukuya kwinyani inokuphinda iphindwe kabini kwinkqubo yethu yokuthenga amakhaya.
Kodwa singene kulandelelwano olunye lwamaphupha: Nangona eli khaya leedola ezili-160,000 lalingekho kuluhlu lwamaxabiso ngenxa yerhafu ephezulu, umniniyo wayezamkela zonke izibonelelo, khawufane ucinge ukumangaliswa kwam xa-kusasa emva kokuba sifake ibhola yethu esezantsi sipho-iarhente yethu ibiziwe, isazisa ukuba ibhidi yethu yamkelwe. Ndilile iinyembezi zovuyo ezingalweni zomyeni wam, njengoko ubomi beeplani buthe bume engqondweni yam. Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezizayo ndandiphantse ndixakeke kakhulu ukuba ndingacinga. Kwakukho uhlolo olucwangcisiweyo kunye novavanyo lwentsebenzo ukuseta. Kwafuneka ndithelekise iikowuti zeinshurensi kwaye ndifumane ulwazi malunga nokuba ukuphuma kukarhulumente kunganyusa amaxabiso ethu ezithuthi. Ngalo lonke elixesha bendiphupha malunga nohlobo lwezitulo esizinyikimisayo esiza kubeka kwiveranda yethu yangaphambili.
Kodwa emva koko inyani ebuhlungu yabetha. Ngentsasa yovavanyo lwethu ndafumana i-imeyile evela kwigqwetha lomthengisi. Umthengisi wafumanisa ukuba unomdlavuza. Ikhaya lakhe elitsha, apho wayesele ehlala khona, lalikwilali yase-Wyoming. Ugqirha wakhe wayemxelele ukuba elona thuba lokusinda kwakhe laliya kubuyela eNew Jersey (apho sasithenga khona) —ukusondela kwisixeko esikhulu ekulula ukufikelela kuso oogqirha neengcali.
Ingelosi inamba 444 uthando
I-imeyile yaqhubeka ichaza ukuba umthengisi uya kuqonda ngokupheleleyo ukuba sithi hayi, kodwa wacela ukuba akhutshwe kwisivumelwano ukuze abuyele ekhaya ukuze aqale unyango. Ndiyifundile i-imeyile amatyeli ambalwa emva koko ndatsalela umnxeba iarhente yam ukuba iqinisekise ukuba yayingelilo uhlobo lokuxoka okanye lokuxuba.
Nangona besinelungelo elisemthethweni lokunyanzela umthengisi ukuba athengise, asizukuyenza loo nto. Ngokucacileyo siza kumvumela ukuba aphume kwisivumelwano, ndixelele iarhente yethu, ngelixa besilwa iinyembezi. Ndatsalela umyeni wam umnxeba, nabazali bam. Akukho mntu wayenokuyikholelwa. Ndaziva ndingaboni.
Ndalila malunga naloo ndlu kwiveki ephelileyo ngaphambi kokuba umama athethe into kum etshintshe indlela endijonga ngayo. Asizange siphulukane nendlu yamaphupha. Senze isigqibo sokuhamba, kwaye saba nethamsanqa ngokungakholelekiyo ngokwenza oko. Asizange sibotshwe ngentengiso yenye ipropathi.
Nangona ndiyathemba ukuba awusoze ube kwesi sikhundla, nantsi into ekufuneka uyenzile ukuqinisekisa ukuba ubuyekezwa ngokufanelekileyo. U-Lehr ucebisa ukubala indleko zamathuba kule meko, okanye ubabeke malini kule nkqubo, kunye noqikelelo lokuba ungabhatalwa njani ngokufanelekileyo ngexesha elilahlekileyo kwaye nokuba ulahlekelwa ngokufanelekileyo yimali / lithuba ngokungabikho ndikwazi ukuba nendlu. Umzekelo, ukuba uthenga eSan Jose — eyona ntengiso ishushu e-U.S. Apho uluhlu lwempahla luxinene kakhulu, kuyakubiza ngaphezulu kumthengi ukukhusela elinye ikhaya kunakwindawo enjengeNew Orleans, Louisiana, apho Uluhlu lweempahla lungaphezulu kwemfuno yomthengi .
Nangona mhlawumbi besinokucela enye imali, sonwabile ukuhamba kunye nediphozithi ebuyisiweyo kunye novelwano kumthengisi. Sikwazile ukumenzela ububele umniniyo wokuqala ngexesha ebekufanele ukuba lelona xesha loyikisayo nelibuhlungu kuye.
Sele kudlule unyaka ukusukela oko ndafumana i-imeyile kummeli wam. Ndisajonga amaxesha ngamaxesha ukubona ukuba uluhlu lubuyile na. Ayisiyo yokuba singaphinda senze isithembiso kwakhona (eneneni intle kakhulu kubantu abakhupha kwintengiso ukuze kamva babuyisele indlu emarikeni) -side safumana elinye ikhaya lokuthenga-kodwa ndiyazibuza ukuba uqhuba njani. Ndiyazibuza ukuba ingaba unyango lwaluphumelele na kwaye wakwazi ukubuyela kwikhaya lakhe lamaphupha eWyoming. Ndiyazibuza kananjalo nangempilo ebesiyakuba nayo kuleya ndlu, kwaye ithelekiswa njani naleyo sinayo apha apho siphele khona. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba yonke into yenzekile ngesizathu kwaye besifanele ukuba silapha, kodwa ndiyalikhumbula ikhaya lethu lamaphupha.
