lost the house

[get_nick]

why would i move out of state? everything i know is here. i have a good job, i have good friends, and i actually have a g/f now... leaving here would be the stupidest thing ever

whoa buddy. calm down. i know you're pissed. I would be to. i'm sure you'll find another good house as soon as the condo is ready to be sold.

[eg6sir]

just an idea.. .. dont know what to tell ya then... never been in that situation

 

[Cashizslick]

Hey b best of luck. Sorry to hear this.

It will work out if its supposed to work out . . .

Nothing wrong with renting a cheap place until your condo sells and/or you find another place.

I know, rent = rape up there. By cheap, I mean comparatively.

 

[posol]

there's 0 point to renting a place when i can just stay in my friggin condo.

 

[posol]

anyway, i got a list of 8 places i'm going to do drive bys on right now....

back in an hour or so

 

[eg6sir]

goodluck

That sucks.

i'll get my 2k back... but still i'm back to square one with an initial offer of 150 cash on the table, and a 2nd one due in on wednesday. then i'm going to let them battle it out for best price.

but, i have no where to move to

you could always stay with the new g/f

If it means selling your condo then there is. Once its sold you can easily take that money and put it down on any future house, if this one were to fall thru.

 

[klyph]

I thought the reason you lost the house was because you couldn't get rid of the condo. Once that's sold, nothings holding you back from closing on a new place. There's nothing wrong with an intermediate temporary place like renting/parents

 

[jamesA]

I have a feeling B will never listen to Jeffie's advice. Renting isn't that great, but in such a short term it's not going to hurt to do it if it means selling the condo.

asking price of 300k, but they are under foreclosure (my agent is their agent too, so she knows the drill) so i'm going to try to nab it for 280k and a quick sale.

no central air and oil heat though wish it had propane heat and central air

and, it shares the driveway with the house next door.... which is kinda weird.
and they are landscapers or something... theres all kinds of work trucks everywhere.

pluses = they will probably plow the driveway in the winter for free, as its half theirs any way, and maybe i'll get a deal on them mowing the lawn
minues = they might be asshats who i can't stand and i'm stuck having 90% of the same driveway as them


have a 4th showing for this chick coming with her dad for final approval and expecting an offer from her as well tomorrow on the condo.
with one offer in, and this one in, all may work out in the end.

 

[klyph]

What type of oil heat? Like those oil filled electric radiators, or an oil fired boiler with baseboards and or radiant floor heat?

 

[posol]

forced air.

 

[klyph]

Eh, thats not so bad. How thick the walls are and the R value of your windows should be your main concern.

 

[posol]

its fairly new, so i'm pretty sure it has thermal windows. should be fine
