Our offer on the Philly condo (investment property) has just been accepted! We're quite excited. We've been doing spreadsheets all weekend long and are still somewhat afraid that we could be making a big mistake. So key is to get past that instinctual debilitating sense of fear - and come to terms with the fact that taking this type or risk could result in good returns. Also need to cough up our hard earned cash.
In some ways it also represents a step towards planting some roots in Philly/US. Ed has taken the long way round by way of Philly -> Miami -> New York -> London -> Philly. I got to spend more "quality time" with Philly this weekend and am pleased to report it's a great city - wholly underrated. It's a beautiful mix of old and new, has neighborhood pockets of distinct character (Olde City, Rittenhouse, Society Hill, South Philly), tons of history, a lively arts, food and drink scene, and teams for all major league sports. The centre city in particular is a very walkable city. And of course can't say enough about proper Philly cheese steak sandwiches - YUMMMM!!!
