"But then it started to sink in that this was really happening...Thank you so much. Everyone has been great. I have already told two of my friends that they need to look into this. It works for us." Jennifer and Terry Kamal DallalWashington Lease to Own LLC 7403 Lakewood Drive, Suite 4 Tacoma, WA 98439 Our First Home Dear Mr. Dallal, The day our investor closed on the purchase of our home I was really nervous. My husband, Terry, was out at sea again. Terry is a merchant seaman and has to work frequently away from home because when he his not out on a ship we don’t make any money. I run the household and take care of the girls. Anyway, I went to our realtor’s office to sign the lease with the option to purchase for our home and it was a bit overwhelming. Terry and I have 3 daughters and have never owned a home for our family. We have always rented and have moved four times in eleven years. Our last place was a multi-story apartment building. It is newer and nice enough but just like all of the other rentals we have lived in I always had to worry about our daughters being snatched out of the play area or something else happening. Of course having three young children is like having a kid magnet for all of the other children in the complex and things would get out of hand often. The two youngest daughters always had to share a room because we could never find a four bedroom place to give everyone a separate room. I hated having neighbors stomping around overhead all the time. With 3 children and one income we never had much of a chance to save up for a down payment. Terry and I were not great with our credit either. Maybe we weren’t motivated enough about it and nobody we knew could tell us much about good credit management either. Terry has been with his company for few years now and will be getting his chief’s certification so things are looking up that way. So there I was, signing papers for our new home. I had to sign for Terry because he was away. Of course, I had to organize the move by myself, take care of the kids and run the family unit by myself. Both Terry and I had to get used to the idea of the higher monthly payment. But that’s they way Terry and I work as a team. He works hard bringing in the money and I work hard taking care of the family and home life. During the home search time with our realtor I called her about every other day to see how things were going because, well, we had never bought a home before and I just didn’t really know what to expect I guess, even though she explained it to me a couple of times. I just needed some re-assurance that things were OK. I was really glad when we found the home. I could tell it was the right one, even though our oldest daughter was lobbying for a different neighborhood. But then it started to sink in that this was really happening. I was finally going to have a yard for the girls to play in where I wouldn’t need to worry about them. Each girl was going to get her own room. They have already picked out their colors. They can all walk to school from our house. There are parks and walking paths nearby. Every store or service is within 10 minutes. They can stay close to all of their old friends and I am sure will be making many new ones. I have some plans to remodel my kitchen…my kitchen… and Terry is gurgling about his garage-shop. The dogs and cats will have their own places too, the whole family. I mean we signed the consulting agreement with you just three weeks before and now we are moving into our new home. I can’t hardly believe it. I am still nervous I guess, but we have always found a way to make it before. Now, we are making it in our home. I am really looking forward to cleaning up our credit and getting our own mortgage to take title to the home ourselves. I am thankful that we have your help and the help of everyone else on the team…our team. Thank you so much. Everyone has been great. I have already told two of my friends that they need to look into this. It works for us. Sincerely, Jennifer and Terry |
