Zack had made a down payment of 42,000. When Zack moved in, he purchased an in-ground swimming pool from Paddock Pools for 35,000. Zack paid Paddock 4,000 and Paddock financed the remaining amount for him, recording a mortgage for 29,000 on February 26, 2014. Zack needed window coverings, landscape, and some new furniture.
