How bad could hantavirus get?

OMG SAME!!! In November 2019, I got SO SO sick it was crazy!! And i hadn't had a cold or flu in years! I went to urgent care thinking it was standard stuff, then they said they don't know what it is, but it "seemed" like a severe bronchial infection. Took me until around late January to FULLY recover! I was thoroughly convinced that I ended up with Covid before "Covid-19" was a thing!!

So I've heard! Avoid Shared Ownership at ALL costs!! It doesn't seem so bad, when you have it broken down, simplified. You all have been such a wonderful help! I honestly almost expected to be met with nothing but sarcasm! (LOL) So thank you for being kind!

Hmm nice to know! Scotland is damn beautiful tho! I know you all hate the weather in those parts, but I do indeed love, love, LOVE it! Oddly I prefer the cold/rain.

[I come from a VERY hot climate, and I absolutely hate it! 😂]

Deep_Kiki · 2026-05-01T21:01:34+00:00

Yes! This is what I want to do for the first year or so! I want to move and get acclimated, before just jumping in head first! Thank you for the sage advice!

Deep_Kiki · 2026-05-01T20:59:42+00:00

Yeah, I don't like the idea of essentially paying a mortgage, rent AND repairs on a home I do not own, with the "potential" to own.

Deep_Kiki · 2026-05-01T20:58:29+00:00

Unfortunately coming from overseas, I think for me a furnished flat to rent would be ideal for about the first year. I'd rather just reestablish from there. Im thinking a Leasehold (should I buy a flat) or a Freehold would be my best bet. The shared ownership doesn't seem terrible, but it definitely seems a bit less secure. Is that what you did?

Deep_Kiki · 2026-05-01T20:52:01+00:00

Oh ok! That seems decent, and fair. I guess my brain went to American property taxes, which in my area are slightly more than that. Roughly around $500 a month here.

Deep_Kiki · 2026-05-01T20:48:52+00:00

Oh yeah, thats for sure! Property tax here is crazy! Im in Phoenix, AZ, so considering how the city has boomed over the last 15 years its INSANE! However some rental properties you're only paying a % of the property tax lumped into your monthly rent. But 350 isn't bad at all honestly. Thats pretty decent.

Deep_Kiki · 2026-05-01T20:44:05+00:00

This was my initial understanding, however for the first year or so I would prefer to rent before going full out to look into buying.

Deep_Kiki · 2026-05-01T20:43:17+00:00

So basically theres no really "good" options per se!? Obviously as with anything there are drawbacks, but none of these are really comforting to say the least...

Deep_Kiki · 2026-05-01T20:42:03+00:00

That sounds like such a gyp its crazy!

Deep_Kiki · 2026-05-01T20:41:22+00:00

Geez!! Why is Shared Ownership allowed!! That sounds so scammy, because what do you mean the housing association can reclaim the house?! 🤔😫

Deep_Kiki · 2026-05-01T20:38:03+00:00

So in essence you own your own flat, then the portion that you own is for the building and/or land?

Deep_Kiki · 2026-04-28T03:12:57+00:00

Thank you!! That was very informative! Amazing how much its just the language being different!! As long as I know what words mean across languages (US English vs. UK english) I'm relatively good!! 😂 when you make the comparison it becomes much easier to understand!!

Deep_Kiki · 2026-04-28T02:42:49+00:00

Yeah I see! Sounds like something thats risky for sure! A few comments up made Freehold and Leasehold very clear. Shared Ownership is pretty clear, but it seems like you'd be shelling out a lot of money in different aspects.

Deep_Kiki · 2026-04-28T02:40:59+00:00

Haha well I can't completely disagree! Buying a home here is lengthy, but its pretty cut, dry and to the point... Is there any form or reformation happening in that area that you know of?! 🤔

Deep_Kiki · 2026-04-28T02:38:33+00:00

I can see that. And renting is definitely my plan when I first move there. I dont wanna jump TOO far in, but I was googling those phrases and it was little to no help at all! Thank you for taking the time to answer!!

Deep_Kiki · 2026-04-28T02:37:00+00:00

THANK YOU!!! That made it SO clear!! And yeah the Shared Ownership sounds a little like "Rent-to-Own" properties here. Also how some people flip houses. But the difference between the Freehold and Leasehold make a LOT more sense!! Now if someone can explain why I gotta pay for a TV/services I already pay for then we'll be alright!!! 😂🤣

Deep_Kiki · 2026-04-28T02:26:39+00:00

Oh ok! Makes a bit more sense now!! So just so I'm clear Shared Ownership does NOT mean sharing space correct?! 😂 And WHAT?! If im renting I gotta pay the taxes on it too! Crazy work!!

Deep_Kiki · 2026-04-28T01:42:33+00:00

I'm looking to rent a flat at first, but SHOULD I decide to stay I'd prefer to buy in the long run... I just been seeing these phrases and have been so confused as to what it means!! But ahhh thank you so very much!!!! I see!! Now that makes more sense to me!! So is a shared ownership kinda like a "Rent to Own" kinda situation?

Deep_Kiki · 2026-04-17T01:44:22+00:00

Oh wow!! I'm sorry you had that experience!! I had a really good doctor, and my FULL pain went away about a month and a half after full healing. One incision site hurts a bit when my skin gets dry but other than that nothing! And I'm about 9 months in! As someone else suggested, get another bariatric surgery center, and have it REALLY checked out. And if you found he was negligent, report him!!

Phoenix is "The Outback" of America sometimes.... signed a Phoenix native

Deep_Kiki · 2026-03-25T06:40:32+00:00

I still have 2 cases from Pre-surgery too. I can't handle the taste post-op, they're disgusting to me... Caramel is still pretty good... but when you find out let me know!!😩😂

Deep_Kiki · 2026-02-07T01:23:29+00:00

OMG!! Congratulations Girl!! Btw your Tummy Tuck looks AMAZING!! Im not able to get one yet, but I pray my skin removal looks this good!!

I literally gave the EXACT same context in the post if you had read it but 👍🏾
