Congrats! I'm hoping to make a post like this before I turn 50, but it isn't looking good.

Re: first house

Congrats! It's a great feeling isn't it? I remember the first time I mowed my lawn, I had a big-a grin on my face. yeah, mowing sucks, but it was MY grass! :banana:

home ownership is tough, but worth it. Good luck.

Re: first house

Homeowner's association dues = $2500 per year
Real estate taxes = $5000 per year
Homeowner's insurance = $3600; slated to go up to $7000 per year next year.
Homeowner's special assessments = $1000 this year.
After I finish paying all of that, then I get the privilege of paying the mortgage payment.

This home ownership thing is awful.

Re: first house

cool man, I'm still a few years away unless all the planets become aligned and I win the lottery (without actually playing mind you).

I can't wait till I can crap in a toilet that is actually mine

Re: first house

I just signed the mortgage last night for a condo I'm buying and will be closing on it at the end of the month. Best part is I'm walking into a ton of equity because it was an elderly person that owned and they needed out. I'm always happy to find a diamond in the rough.

Oh yeah and congrats on getting a house it's a good feeling.

Re: first house

we are pumped. we closed on nov 6th and since then we(me and my g/f) have replaced the tile/carpet and painted the walls(my dad painted while i was working). new tile was finished tuesday and new carpet will be finished in the morning. we got all new appliances from my parents and my step-mom(g/f's mom)...new stove, dishwasher,sink, refrigerator, washer and dryer so we are pretty much set. we will be starting to move our "junk" lol out of storage into our FIRST :) house this weekend. we've(me my g/f, son, daughter) have been living w/my parents for the past month and we are so ready to get out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they were nice enough to let us stay, which we appreciate, but we've missed our freedom so to speak. thanks for all the replies. on a side note: as mentioned above about having your own yard to mow and such, it feels damn good to say that we've replaced/repaired OUR house OURSELVES. now the FUN part of moving agian begins....lol
