The no-going-back moment is forever etched in my memory. My husband, DC, and I were standing in the kitchen when our Realtor, Saint Bob, called. I put him on speaker.
The place came fully furnished. That’s the good news and the bad news. While I don’t strongly dislike any furnishings in the beach rental property my husband and I just bought, which is instantly livable and rentable, I wouldn’t have picked them out either.
