Given the current market, that wouldn't be acceptable. You're still asking someone to carry two mortgages for up to 120 days, and Kroger would need to buy the house at fair market value, as determined by an independent appraiser. PS: I'm really not interested in relocating, we've (my wife and I) have been in Raleigh for less than a year and we really kind of like it here :) -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell) -----Original Message----- From: Adam Haskell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 8:54 PM To: CF-Jobs-Talk Subject: Re: What is it with telecommuting? When/if Kroger relocates someone they valuate the house and buy it out after 90 or 120 days (something like that, at least they used to do this). Oh and did I mention we are hiring right now if anyone is interested in relocating to a city that is actually flat in housing values instead of declining ;) Seriously if you are interested we are hiring Cincinnati Ohio, anyone? anyone?
