Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

WOW I didn't see this until now!

Congrats on the wedding man! and good luck finding a place, but who will we have to plan the awesome mitsustyle cruises!? :)

Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

Basically we want a change of life; sick of winters, I hate MN politics, the Twin Cities infrastructure is falling apart, I hate snow, over-priced housing market, etc. Basically a lot of little reasons have been eating away at me for years and we're finally doing something about it :D

Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

Wow, well best of luck to ya man! I'll probably be down there myself once I finish school for a lot of the same reasons. (And there is more border patrol jobs in TX than MN)

Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

Good luck in Texas.

Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

Might see ya down there in a few years, the woman wants AZ and I'm not to keen on that. TX seems like a decent choice! Might have to lay down the law because ya know.. :signs109:

Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

Overpriced housing market??? um... ok. My brother just bought a 4 br house for $86k, just needed a little elbow grease and it looks georgeous now.

Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

Yeah I agree with all reasons except the housing market, if you are in the market to buy a house right now anywhere in MN you can get a house for damn near half the price of what it would have been 5 years ago. A buddy from work just bought a house for 150k, it was 312k a year and a half ago when it was originally listed. I feel bad for all the people that own homes in MN and want to sell them, that is the major problem.

Good luck in TX, the weather is great and the car scene is even better. No more KARE11. :(

The housing market in MN is a lot better than it was a few years ago, but for the type of houses Janelle and I were looking at I still felt they were very over valued. Eitherway, we got a damn nice one down here now (seller agreed to our 3rd offer after their many counter-offer attempts) that probably would have cost us double up there in an equivalent neighborhood, in the same condition, with similar upgrades and amenities. Janelle and I wanted a move-in ready house that was in perfect condition, in a nice white-collar neighborhood, and already had the upgrades we like so there were no immediate plans of having to renovate, etc. Anyways, on to the pictures!

We just got the signed paperwork back from the seller and had an inspection done today. There are a few issues we want her to take care of but for the most part things are looking good :D

Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

Thanks guys! We're hoping we get plenty of guests from MN coming down to visit us :)

Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

Looks sweet!!!

Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

Looks awesome, congrats! No way you would get a house like that up here for under $200k, or anywhere close..

Re: Congrats Kracka!
 

Nice house. What is the point of a fire place in Texas though? (assuming that it the chimney on the front of the house)
