guess I should have read this first and simply said "I concur"Made an offer on number three - should know in a few days
Thanks for everything you wrote - couldn't agree more. With house three we are closer to family which is great for the kids. But the back yard is awesome - first thing my son said is we can make a mtb trail back here. So we are excited about that - not having an HOA is huge, I hate have assclows tell me what kind of shed I can put in my yard.guess I should have read this first and simply said "I concur"
I'll be honest, we aren't to hot on not having shutters. I guess we just aren't use to it, but the windows are close together and it would look funny with shutters. So the plan is to make the yard look nice so you don't pay attention to not having shutters.I'd choose #3 (actually looks VERY much like my house, but I have shutters on my windows )
and as always, the assclows come out from under the rocks to make a negative post. Great jobThose houses are all abominations.
My advice for that kind of cash - buy a smaller house somewhere that doesn't suck.
HTH.
maybe because he might prefer the beach.Those houses are all abominations.

Then by all means... he should buy a small house on the beach.maybe because he might prefer the beach.
Just pickin' We have the same set-up with our colonial, but our garage is a 3 bay on the left and a single on the right with storage above. We put a nice tin roof on ours a couple of years ago and added a front porch (so no one was killed when the snow comes off). We too have a nice back yard; almost 12 acres and trails. Good luck!I'll be honest, we aren't to hot on not having shutters. I guess we just aren't use to it, but the windows are close together and it would look funny with shutters.

It comes with a grow room!Why is this room lined with tinfoil? Buying from Renegade Rick?
There's always more to the story...I vote #3 too. More land and yard and your daughter will love the little playhouse.
Good luck with the offer and what's with the "we" thought you were seperated?
I didn't take the "smaller house" quote as really negative. That is how I thought until I realized three things:and as always, the assclows come out from under the rocks to make a negative post. Great job
Write a full crop at 90% completion into the contract.It comes with a grow room!
See - I'm already looking forward to after the kids leave and I can go BACK to a small house. But the key is - a WELL DESIGNED small house.<snip>
3. At 40, what the hell was I waiting for. I saved and lived small for the first 40 years of my life, if I waited another 10 or 15 years what is the point. The kids would be grown and I wouldn't have the capability to enjoy the type of house I always wanted.
You keep beatin' that drum...Great time to buy right now. Interest rates are still crazy low
yeah, 3% for a 15 year note. Should have this paid off before I turn 50.Great time to buy right now. Interest rates are still crazy low
Thats' awesome!!! We were able to refi a few months back we are at 4 1/8 on a 30 year.yeah, 3% for a 15 year note. Should have this paid off before I turn 50.
So you'll be like 85 when you pay that off, eh?Thats' awesome!!! We were able to refi a few months back we are at 4 1/8 on a 30 year.
you get the 30 year with its low payment and a no prepayment penalty clause. when you are flush with cash you stuff money in, in lean months you just make the regular payments. less stress and you still pay it off early.So you'll be like 85 when you pay that off, eh?
105 Actually a put in a little extra $ every month towards principal.So you'll be like 85 when you pay that off, eh?
How can a small house POSSIBLY be better than a big house? Only gay people or communists have small houses.But the key is - a WELL DESIGNED small house.
You sir, are ready to move to America. Welcome aboard!How can a small house POSSIBLY be better than a big house? Only gay people or communists have small houses.
But I just bought a car smaller than the one it replaced so that'd get me thrown outta the band before I even started.You sir, are ready to move to America. Welcome aboard!
That is on the action list - just need to hear back from the sellers, they are killing me.3.
Build a pump track. The kids will show up.
Thought they have 24 to 48 hours usually to respond. I hated all those games and I tried to be straight forward in both buying and selling my house.That is on the action list - just need to hear back from the sellers, they are killing me.
Congrats! Now let me tell you something I wish someone had warned me about. My last and 3rd house was financed through Wellsfargo (big and evil I know, but I trusted the mortgage person and already had accounts from the Wachovia conversion). My wife and I had credit ratings at 805 and 798 and no problems, yet Wells did not "clear to close" until noon the day of my freakin' settlement......and I was sweatin' it because I think the person would have kept our 30k deposit (it was an auction and they needed 10% down). The same thing happened to the person who bought our old house. So don't be suprised if the lending company doesn't hold onto that money until the last minute.All done, got the house for 398,000. Now it's a month of paperwork and other crap then move.
