I got the house

[jwcfbd]

* After some back and forth nonsense we finally agreed on a price. *They came down another $2000 off their asking price so I got a good price. *The inspector came over today and we spent about 2 hours going over it top to bottom. *There was nothing major wrong but a lot of little net picky odds and ends. *The biggest expense is going to be the carpet throughout the house has to go but other then that it needs some drywall work and a good cleaning. *There is also some wood rot here and there but nothing I can't fix myself. *Time to break out the hammer, saw and * . *One a good note they fixed the pool already and it looks very inviting. *It's going to be some hard work but I'm looking forward to it. *I think it is going to be fun and a good learing experience. *

I don't have the before pictures yet but I will be getting them soon. *Here is what The Pool looks like now. *

****I got the pictures of the pond**** * * * See them at the end of the page 2 and onto page 3. *

Congrats, really nice house. Once you have a 3 car garage, its tough to go back to a two car.

Thanks and I've got big plans for the yard and house to bring it back up to speed.
The house is 173,000 and the closing cost should be $1800 but I'm buying down the intrest rate for $4000 more. *That will put me down to 6.125% with no mortgage insurance with only 5% down. * * So total out of pocket is $14,000 give or take.

Thanks My last house had an oversized two car garage and that was making it really hard to look at normal sized ones. So I know your rigth about the three car.
