House Projects

That first one is tiny, the foundation size is 660 sqft, so they are lying about it being 1500 sqft. They are probably including the deck. Second one looks like a nice find!

^Good eye I didn't notice that! I'll have to make sure to ask about that.

I am trying my best to stay within the Centennial school district with minimum 3 bedrooms and 2 stall garage, which kind of limits our choices. Dominic is only about 2-3 years from being in school, so that is one of our top priorities.




Edit: This one looks pretty decent as well. http://msp.themlsonline.com/details,3a1d438ac0f84ea7ea02ba9f80231063,1,results ,4087100.html

I like the fact it has the bar, storage shed, and playground.


Now I really need to talk to our credit union and see what we can get approved for as far as a loan.

DOES ANYONE HERE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH VA LOANS??

[JET]

I have looked in to them before, but VA loan usually is higher interest rate than normal and there are hoops to jump through. I compared them both times I bought houses and regular loans were better each time.

That last one looks really nice too. Is a short sale, but that is the way I would go too.

i dont think the first house is lieing. 660 on the main floor. 528 underground. and im guessing the extra 300 or so is in the attic. might be converted for a bedroom. when i was looking at houses last year this was the case 90% of the time with the small base footage houses.



These are two of them 5 or 6 or so we are going to be looking at.

They are making some amazing progress. Every day we swing by and are amazed! The entire main level is pretty much framed. The roof is framed. It's starting to look like a house!

[goodhart]

Wow they are moving. I wonder what kind of hours they work and how many guys they have

[craig]

looks good and yeah really quick going up

[Halon]

We usually notice 2-4 guys. Not sure when they start but they seem to leave around 5ish

Got these lights for the front of the house. Kinda cool, never seen anything like it before.

Roof is on. Upper level is fully framed (archways installed as well). Windows and doors are installed. We were told they will be pouring the basement floor tomorrow, and framing the basement Friday. Still amazes me how fast they work.
