The Home-ownership Thread

[darksabre]

I agree with the sentiment, if I'm spending a lot then I needed to go for what I wanted, it's a good, looooonnngg investment and I plan on being there for a long time.

 

Plenty of pass out room for the SS crew :)

Just like Derek Roy's basement

Haha thanks man, not by the nuts, but def worked myself into a good position.... Dude ten years ago I was so broke, I had a tire go flat and I couldn't afford to replace it, I had to beg for 70 bucks....parents wouldn't/couldn't help, so I'm happy that I earned this :)

[Doohicksie]

I posted pics in the awesome thread, I'm on my mobile at the airport, I will try and post them here :)

A little premature I think, the contracts are signed, waiting on legal/inspection to close, but here are the pics.

 

Dang, that's awesome. :thumbsup:

[Wyldnwoody44]

So the attorney emailed with the underwriting and it's a go, get this, the home inspection is gonna happen sat/sun while I'm in Prague or Bratislava, so my gf is going with the realtor (his father in law is the inspector) very good guy. I'm going to Skype/what'sapp in for the Inspection while walking through Prague castle lol.

I'm green with envy.

 

And gas.

 

But mostly envy.

We can do a colectomy/hysterectomy for ya ;)

Dang, that's awesome. :thumbsup:

Thanks man,

And also a late congrats on your nice place too, I for some reason couldn't find this thread and lacked the critical thinking skills to use the search button ????????

 

Now it's time to pool our mallow cup coupons and cereal box tops to upgrade Charlie's whirlpool box, at least get the man some bubble wrap insulation ????????

They named a town after Kelsay Grammer's bald spot?!? :huh: Knew skiers liked the ganja, but never knew to what extent apparently. :p

 

Congrats on the Money Pit, Woody. Looks sweet. :beer:

Inspection is done, and it only has some minor flaws, new gutters/extenders, some replacing snow/ice things on the metal roof and one non essential outdoor beam has some mold.... The inside doesn't have anything except a boiler that is old, bit well maintained and working fine. The realtor is going to request some minor fixes.... Once I am home, I'll see about appraisal and etc, never realized closing on a home takes so long

It's definitely not like signing up for a rental. :lol:

 

But it also is most people's only $6 figure+ purchase in their lives. Good to have the t's dotted & the I's crossed. :p

Enjoy the rest of your travels.  The rest of this stuff can wait.

Aside from the monetary investment, there's also the commitment to a single address.  When you buy a house you're definitely going to be there a while, a few years at the very least.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

I like this one.

The house is nothing special, but it meets many of our requirements and it is in a fantastic location.

 

A very nice separate suite for my offices, which is a must.

[Wyldnwoody44]

That looks very Quaint and peaceful :)

[Doohicksie]

Yeah, the house is nothing special architecturally, but there's location-location-location and layout.  It's almost the same square footage as the house we just bought- about a hundred sq ft bigger.

You should see that quaint and peaceful shoreline in a big storm.  The surf just pound.

 

That said, I completely agree with you.

 

Where are you now?

Yup.

 

In the write up it says 20 minutes to Halifax.  Stupid realtors will say anything.  Sure, 20 minutes as the crow flies.

[Wyldnwoody44]

I actually just landed back home last night,late, to a different city than itianlly planned, after dealing with tsa (hello complaint thread). Now I move forward with the closing process on my end

[Doohicksie]

We learned that when we put our first offer in.  The description of the house was pure fiction.

Yeah. It's not even easily defensible. A quick google maps search says it is 36 minutes from the address to Halifax.

The house behind mine is currently for sale.  Some of the stuff in the description is absolutely hilarious.  They call it "sun-drenched", which in other words means there is only one tree on the lot.  It's only 2 years old, so that really isn't a huge issue.  Anyway, they also end every single sentence in the description with 2 exclamation points ("sun-drenched!!").  All I can think when reading it is Elaine Benes and her hatred of the exclamation point.

[Doohicksie]

I don't know who Elaine Benes is, but yeah, that drives me nuts.  I was banned on a forum once for using multiple exclamation points in a thread title (they were meant ironically of course).  No warnings, nothing.  BAM.

 

Meh.

[Doohicksie]

You would have had better luck if you'd have just said Elaine from Seinfeld.  I had no idea there was a last name involved there....
