and some do call me crazy. In fact, I think insane was the actual word used to describe this idea. I bought my first house this past week.
Meet Georgia Ave.
This whole process seems like a whirlwind, but a researched, thought out, prayed through mayhem. There were many reasons why I decided to start searching for a house, but I did not expect to find something so great, so quickly. I looked at it a couple of times, brought people that matter to me to look at it, did price comparisons, met neighbors, had discussions with brokers/lenders, etc. After I proved sanity to certain people my realtor and I made up a contract and put in an offer. The offer went in Monday afternoon around 4pm and 3 hours later we had already counter offered twice. Tuesday we continued to counter offer and then by Tuesday night I was signing the contract and researching home inspectors.
Thursday, I met Scott. He was my home inspector or my guardian angel however you want to look at it. He and I walked throughout the entire house/yard and pulled it completely apart. I think my inspection report is 40 pages long complete with many pictures.
There have been many times where I started to panic about the huge decision home buying is or home buying plus renovations, but I am really excited and overall feel confident in my decision.
Soon to come...pictures of the (lovely) yellow kitchen and the rotted wood (from the inspection).
