They lived across the street from one-another and each liked the other family's house more. It seems kinda weird now, but it made sense in my pre-K mind :)savvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544254698136250262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800674.post-35772660996407341922007-08-09T22:12:00.000-07:002007-08-09T22:12:00.000-07:00I love the idea.

And, although it's probably difficult to find a likeminded home owner with a house that you'd like to own, skipping the uncertainty of whether you can sell your own house makes it worth it.Trisha#1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10326891566507799004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800674.post-58843578448014841372007-08-09T13:32:00.000-07:002007-08-09T13:32:00.000-07:00ok, that makes sense.

The net result though, would be that neither person is left with any cash or has to bring cash to closing (apart from maybe a small difference to make up for the difference in house values and closing fees, etc.) <BR/><BR/>Each person gets a new loan to buy the other's house.
