mcm1610 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 There's certainly smarter buys than others. I'm a sedentary person at heart, so I imagine I'll end up buying, but for people who move or live in a bigger city or don't make long-term plans, renting is far and away the better option. The ability to just bail with little notice and no effort is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I just bought a house. I'll probably end up trying to sell it in a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 My wife and I put in an offer on a house yesterday. My nerves are shot. Keep your fingers crossed for us please! Didn't even have to flip any records on eBay for the down payment HA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even have to flip any records on eBay for the down payment HA! No need to flip vinyl when you make fat stacks of moderator cash. Good luck on that house or any future house. I've actually had to put a hold on my house buying plans. My parents are moving back into the area so I have to wait till they move so I maintain a safe buffer zone between my place and my parents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol good idea on the cautious buying. You don't want an Everybody Loves Raymond type situation on your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 They accepted an offer a couple hours before ours was put in. No bueno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dethrock Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Glad this got bumped. My girlfriend and I put an offer on a house yesterday and it was accepted this morning. Home inspection is next week so if everything goes okay, I'll be a home owner in March! GradedOnACurve and Shitty Rambo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Revival Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Wish I had seen this earlier, my wife and I bought a house in Dec and close in 10 days I'm both stoked and terrified. Shitty Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 There's about 7 million homes in the us. You'll find a better one. It sucks but it'll work out. My wife is pretty bummed out but there's nothing we can do. It didn't have a garage anyways. Not like I was going to work on a fucking car or something, but I figure if I get a house and a garage I can finally get a drum set and learn how to play haha.

Not like I was going to work on a fucking car or something, but I figure if I get a house and a garage I can finally get a drum set and learn how to play haha. Honestly, the first thing I did when I purchased my first home was buy a drum set. I had always wanted one growing up but my parents wouldn't let me get one because well...they're loud haha. Ever since moving out at 20, I had lived in apartments so obviously drums were a no go. Literally, the second day my wife and I were in our new house, I went out and bought a drumset. This was before we had even started to unpack like 90% of our stuff but I didn't give a shit, I wanted them so bad. Put that motherfucker in the basement and banged the shit out of it until my arms were tired. SHORT VERSION- Rambo, Get a drumset.

danaisalright Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Me and my wife put in an offer on a house where the same thing happened. An offer was already accepted a couple hours before. Then we found a BETTER house. I'm posting from that house right now. Shitty Rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I appreciate the positive vibes guys. I'm pretty heart broken too, but it is what it is. Maybe we romanticized it a bit much but we felt this was the place for us. I really hope something similar pops up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Man, I really took growing up with a drum set in my house for granted. First thing I want to do when I buy a house (been saving for a down payment for about 6 months now, long term goal is buy one within the next 2 years) is to invest in a theater room. I want 130" black diamond projector screen, MartinLogan Theos towers, 9.2 surround sound and theater seats. When looking for a house, an ideal-sized/shaped theater room is going to make or break the deal for me. Also also: good luck Jared, hope everything turns up Milhouse for you!

How many square feet? I'm at 2200 and it's definitely more room than I have use for. If I could build anything I wouldn't focus as much on the number of bedrooms but on having a big master. Think a lot of people buy a house with extra bedrooms and do nothing with them for years and years until kids take them over. Would definitely focus a lot on the kitchen too -- lots of counterspace, a built in grill/griddle as well as built in stove. Just think those are some of the smaller details that have a much bigger impact on the usefulness of the house over total space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm definitely all about having a small lot of land, too. SO much less time spent keeping it up. Kids will always find someplace to throw a ball around if they want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
