A New Problem

Well, I'm now waiting to see if the owner of the home is going to be able to make the necessary fixes. Its my understanding that the owner may not have the funds to do a 2 - $4000 fix. The wife and I are sitting with our fingers crossed. If the owner doesn't come up with the fixes then we're out and looking for something else.

Problem

Well I just had a home inspector check out the home and most things were just fine. There was one big problem found. Most of the wood under the home floor is beginning to rot, my Realtor has submitted a request to have the owner replace this major problem. Chances are pretty good that the problem will be fixed and my family will be back on track.

Here are a few more pics of the house I took yesterday during the inspection.

I'm buying my first home

Front of home around 1500sq ft 1/2 Acre fenced in backyard with pool

Well here it is my very first home, all 1500 square feet of it on its 1/2 acre lot with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, living room, den, & a detached two car garage.

After renting for our entire adult lives (ages 18 to n0w-29) my wife and I are taking the plunge
into owning our own home.

Here are some pics of the inside of this modest home.


Living Room 12x14 Den 19x11

Kitchen with Dining area 18x10 2nd Bedroom 11x11

3rd Bedroom 10x9

I don't have any other pictures of the rest of the home, but the master bedroom is 13x10 and
the garage is 24x24.

We made a bid and it was accepted by the owner , so now we are just waiting to get the agreement signed by the owner (the owner lives in Florida). We have a closing date of March 28, 2007.

My wife runs a licensed 4 out of 5 stars home child care center so our plan is to very quickly after moving in have the 24x24 garage turned into a stand alone family room just for our kids and us. The living room and the den, after the garage is transformed will be just about all daycare space.

Buying a home is a confusing and stressful thing to do. I'll try to update this blog with pictures to show the move and the transformation of the garage into a family fun land.
