I put on my big boy pants and will be buying a house pending tomorrow's inspections (I don't foresee anything major showing up). The lady that owned the house my roommate and I are renting died and her kids decided to sell it. My offer got accepted and we're in escrow right now. This shit is a pain in the ass. So much paperwork and emails and money. We've been here for over a year so we pretty much know what's up with the place. The pest inspection is the one that could break the deal. Why do inspectors only take cash/check? hahahahaing bill me for that shit. I already had to go to my bank for other stuff, but it's still annoying having to pull out $750 in cash for that shit.
I did end up going $15,000 over what I really wanted to pay for the place, which isn't shit when it comes down to what the offer was for. Going by current trends, the house should gain another $60,000-$70,000 in value over the next year. Prices are going up around here and it's in an awesome location. The only downside is the house will need probably $35,000 worth of upgrades to get it where I want it. Luckily my roommate and I can do stuff plus we know people that can do almost everything else for cheap or beer.
The only half decent pic I have of the place without linking the MLS listing or combing through pics (it isn't hard to find the listing with the info in this post, get to sleuthing :laugh: ).
