Okay my mom owns the house across the street from her and wants me to move into it. Without going into too much detail I'm 28, single & own my own home already, the house she wants me to take, is slightly bigger than my current house, has an above ground pool, a pool table, a privacy fence and a nicer yard. It also has a slab foundation whereas my house has a crawl space below it gets cold & I have had to fix mold issues in the past.
It is a definite upgrade to my current house, and I could move in & live there free till I sell my house at which point she would sign the new house over to me & I would start paying a mortgage payment to my mother, the house is already paid off to the bank right now....
The only thing I don't like about this idea is it's across the street from my mom, I mean I love my mom & all, but I don't know that I want to live across the street from her. It seems it would be stupid of me not to do it if that is the only reason I can think of, since this is a much nicer house & an opportunity to sell my house & move without having to pay 2 mortgages....
I just don't know what I should do... I guess I don't have to live there forever either... I just don't want the whole Everybody Loves Raymond thing going on you know what I mean?
So anyway what do you guys think? What should I do?
