Are home inspections not required before closing where you are? We fell in love with a house, put in an offer, then the inspection showed a lot of shit wrong with it (mostly minor, but the three big things turned us away: foundation was bad, HVAC system was 40 years old AND didn't work, and plumbing was fucked) so we walked. --- http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb289/volcaitlin/gifs/dancning.gif <cite>littlebro07 posted [p:894902727] in Buying a h...

Hexenherz 01/27/18 11:31:59 AM #7:	Yes home inspections are required but they can only catch so much. It's a special kinda sinking feeling when you've visited the house you are buying three times, and after closing you're going to move in and the front screen door pops off one of the hinges and the handle falls off >_>. In general I wish we had purchased one of the other houses we looked at... but oh well. This is an OK house it's just very bland and doesn't have any character to it. --- RS3: UltimaSuende .

I was very lucky with my first major job, made decent amount and saved almost 90% including tips, I cannot emphasise how much it helped doing this while still young. I'm kinda lucky right now. My realtor will pay to break my current lease. The house builder will pay the closing costs and with the va home loan i don't have to put a down payment Only problem is I just moved halfway across the country for a police job so that cost a ton of money. And I've barely got like my 3rd paycheck so I'm playing catch up. Might sell my Xbox one x and switch to pay for the escrow so I don't have to pay for with money in my.bank account lol --- Cubs, Rockies, Grizzlies, Patriots. <cite>darkprince45 posted [p:894903701] in Buying a h...

Between the house, loan and other bills, we have almost nothing left to save. But we do still have an emergency fund. It just doesnt move lol. Oh well. Weve got 2 more years to go on the loan.

The_Juice_ 01/27/18 1:39:07 PM #22:	Yeah it's easily the biggest purchase you'll make in your life. The trick is not living in an expensive apartment so you can actually save money. People shit on living with your parents for awhile but I moved back after college until 24 (still paid my parents to live there of course) and it made a world of difference. Saved so much, then moved to an apartment after having an actual savings point, then the house purchase wasn't too bad.

My house is a 3 bed/3 bath with a two car attached garage, mere minutes away from pretty much everything. 1800 square feet and we got it for $139k. Mortgage is $980/month including taxes, insurance, and PMI. Very little wrong with it. Water heater and air conditioner are both old as fuck (19 and 28 years old, respectively) but that's it. Property taxes suck though. Think ours are like $2700 a year now. Could have bought a similar house 15 minutes away in Iowa and pay next to nothing in taxes but then I'd live in Iowa.

Its still expensive but I'm ok with it. Been having fun making it my own. Finished the pc room a few weekends ago, 3 monitors on the wall, gave the room it's own circuit, custom lighting and desk, no wires showing.

Mortgage is $980/month including taxes, insurance, and PMI. Very little wrong with it. Water heater and air conditioner are both old as fuck (19 and 28 years old, respectively) but that's it. Property taxes suck though. Think ours are like $2700 a year now. Could have bought a similar house 15 minutes away in Iowa and pay next to nothing in taxes but then I'd live in Iowa.

PrettyBoyFloyd 01/27/18 5:04:37 PM #37:	Last year I tried buying a house. Problem was that the folks loaning the money wanted a house safety inspection. That costed me like $600. It was concluded that I needed to do like $6000 in maintenance before I could get the loan, so I just dropped the idea. The house itself I wasn't really interested in. I just wanted the land. --- The Evil Republicans - Est.2004 - WoT [Government Destabilizing Branch] <cite>PrettyBoyFloyd posted [p:894920172] in Buying a h...
