Home Buying & Real Estate Thread

Welp…we’re officially under contract and aiming to close mid-March. Not gonna post pics, but conveniently enough the house looks exactly like this and is on a similar plot of land, just in a better location:

Nice lot!

Will be fun to put your own spin on the place. Could probably add on if you ever need to down the line.

Thank you kindly!

We have the advantage that my FIL is a contractor, so he’s agreed to do the renovations we want for free as our wedding gift.

Luckily we still have 2 months on our current lease. Our rent is pretty cheap so we’re gonna stay in the apartment until the lease is up so him and his crew can work on the house.

Congrats but that valuation is robbery. For that price you can get something better in Jersey

Congrats. Now just drop the address so Alp and the NT gang knows where to roll up to the crib.
 
Maybe Jersey is cool, but I’d lose being close to my family and friends, me and my wife would have to both give up good jobs, wouldn’t be able to have my FIL do work on the house for free, and we’d have to pay for child care when the time comes which is almost another mortgage in and of itself.

I could get something “better” in a lot of other places in America, but I don’t want to live in those places for the reasons above. Just seems like a short-sighted, unproductive comment for him to make.
 
Comparison, i think you factored and considered everything that is important in purchasing a home. Congrats!! No amount of extra land, square footage, etc can make up for what is important.
As they always say, Location Location Location!
Im in the Bay Area and that price is a bargain here
 
Tf would a guy in ny want a pool for anyways? :lol

Location is key, like yeah you can get cheaper houses who wants to commute far? That’s unpaid work basically
Yeah I’m a 10 minute bike ride to two north shore beaches so I’ll live without the pool. Also a 5 minute bike ride to get to my job.

Still want a pool at some point though. :lol:
 
You’re crazy man. :lol the price to heat that is gonna have you making budget cuts.

I like the biking to the beach and work though. :hat I’m 5 mins from the Mississippi which is trophy smallmouth fishery, def not swimming in it though… :lol
