Re: House, Condo, Townhouse etc.
Congrats!
The one on 7th St you linked looked pretty nice, especially for around $500/mo mortgage. 3 garage spots too.

Thanks! Yea I should specify it's the 7th St house I'm getting, I was vague. Those spaces are gonna allow the completion of my buddy's Turbo LS '66 Tempest Project that's in the works
The basement will be found in the House Projects thread soon enough. I will be renting out the spare room and basement upon completion so there will be some motivation.

Re: House, Condo, Townhouse etc.
Well sorry to put a damper on the fun, but the family and attorney was supposed to meet at 5 today to sign everything. Of course at 4:45 their agent called mine and said: "Any changes you wanna make to your offer? We are getting another on in by the end of today..." So I said no I'll take my chances. So hopefully the other offer is less than mine or doesn't get countered and accepted for more than mine. Oh the stresssss.

Re: House, Condo, Townhouse etc.
If they have accepted your offer, usually they'll wait up to 24 hours for a better one. I doubt they would have time to counter with the other people within that amount of time. Who knows though, good luck.

Re: House, Condo, Townhouse etc.
Well unfortunately the Attorney chose another offer of unknown details as of this morning. Sooo onto the next: http://www.cbburnet.com/property/det...-MN-55106.aspx
I will be viewing this tomorrow and hopefully working on making sure it is as efficient as I hope it to be. Definitely not as nice as the one on 7th but I will say that this is much newer mechanically all around and I think that will pay off in the long run. Yes parking is a bit more difficult but then again I can always think about expanding the garage quietly Nah I shouldn't just for resale and rent-ability in the future when I no longer owner occupy/rent out. But tomorrow being my (21st) birthday, it would make my whole month to write a reasonable offer and make this shit happen. Been working my ass off to get in and get this done on each house but people with LOTS of cash offers are coming in and buying aggressively.

Re: House, Condo, Townhouse etc.
Saw 4 more this last week and probably a few more this week. The search is dulling and not seeing anything great anymore. Just gotta learn patience right now and keep everything in perspective. I have a few tweaks I might wanna make to my MLS search that gets emailed to me such as build date etc to broaden the results.

Finally got an accepted offer on this place! Due to close on the 30th as long as everything paperwork wise and inspection wise looks good. No it doesn't have a nice garage but it does have a decent (and expandable) parking area that I can work with for now. Pictures don't do the house justice at all. Big basement that's clean and plenty of bedrooms and one big nice bathroom for now. Wish me luck fellas. I'll throw one hell of a new years party if it works out!

Re: House, Condo, Townhouse etc.
Finally closed on my house! Woohoo! Been slowly moving in and getting stuff how I want. Looking forward to sharing more projects as time goes on but for now I'm pretty excited to have wrapped up the whole process.
