House hunting.
 

Is a headache, watch yourselves when the time comes.

Good luck. Apartment hunting was hard enough for me, I can't imagine house hunting...

ugh, i tried just looking for a condo and i felt sick.

i looked at 5 apartments in the area and said fuck it, and took the nicest, most affordable one.

We're trying to consider many things...

We're in a certain price range to try and maintain a mortgage payment below 1500/month.
Trying to make sure we've got room for.. um, expansion, in the future.
School districts.
Neighborhood.
Homes associations (can kiss my ass, were really trying to avoid those.. least we'd like to).
etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. ETC.

We're going out again this morning to look at a few more, plus revisit some we liked with my mom.

Heh, wow. How things have changed since 1997.

True, but how many of us have actually enjoyed upwards mobility since then?

Blech

Common factor among us???.... DEX DRIVES! Fucking devil spawns

I'm not sure I follow what you meant by upwards mobility, Neil.

Things are moving along kinda well so far, we've put an offer on a house which turned out to have some extra hoops to be jumped through. Today we've heard the organization the house was previously purchased through by the current seller will not act out their right of first refusal to reclaim the property.

We are going to get a true pre-approval for mortgage today and get the info to our agent so it can be passed on to the seller's agent, then the negotiations can begin...

Fun times!

We are tentatively closing on the house on Sept. 26th, still need to pay for a home inspection to make sure the roof is up to par... if it isn't, it's in the contract that the seller is paying for repairs. Almost there..

Roof is Fubar, now we hope the seller will keep up their end of the contract... meh.

:nod:

even i may be apartment hunting in the next few months.

Lol.. sorry, how old are you again?

Well, we've been under contract for a HOT minute now and they turned around and refused to do the repairs... or give us money in escrow for the repairs... so, we really want that damn house, we've given them want they want, just waiting to hear back if they even still want to sell the place...

SON OF A BITCH!

sharkz omg

Hope it all works out, Donnie. Just think of how worth all this will be when yall get settled in!

slut

damn, we're old, guys.

not hex, though, he's still 14

pedo

I feel old..

Things fell through with the house, so we're resuming our hunting today, think there's about 10 or 11 more we want to see.
