Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

DH and I went to a tax
DH and I went to a tax auction last year and bid on a couple of properties, but we lost both... there were alot of contractors there with deep pockets who were willing to pay way more than we were!
That's what I'm afraid of.

I've been researching the tax
I've been researching the tax books and it looks like they go quite cheap. Most properties seem to sell for 3,000 - 15,000. I'm hoping that there's not much interest in the one I want but we'll see. I'm trying very hard to not get my hopes up. I really want it but like Daizy said, contractors have much deeper pockets and the rental market in our area is very profitable right now.
It's a huge OLD house and needs some major renovations. I can only hope that it's more than contractors care to bother with.
