Time To Get Out and Look At Houses
by Julian on Feb.26, 2009,under House Purchase
The first place we looked at would become the "Little House". The house had a kitchen that was awesome. It had everything that I wanted in a house. Even had a concrete patio that was covered. It had a nice yard. No garage, but that was not a big deal for me.
But it had two problems. One was the size, it was small. It had no dining room to speak off. Long term, I could see adding on a living room. The other problem, that I could not get past, was that the house butted up against the neighbors driveway. From looking at the land boundaries, the roof overhang was over the neighbors property. The idea of having my neighbors cars parked up next to my home just did not sit well with me. In the end I decided to pass on this property.
We did look at some other houses. Wow! There is a lot of junk out there. One place reeked with cigarette smoke, another stank of urine, and one had mold in the windows. I turned down one place because it grease in the cabinets, another place because the walls were dirty. One place that I fell in love with in the pictures, was a dump in person.
The Little House didn't have much going for it, but the seller had set out a couple of place settings, towels in the bathroom, just a couple of little things here and there. It wasn't much, but it made the place look awesome!
