Buying a House Thread

[Mike]

I'm looking to stay under $200k which in my area is possiable for something that needs a little work

[wtcii]

My Dad is making money off of it. These over the past 5 years or so have averaged a growth in value of about 10% a year. So, not only does he not have a monthly payment for me and my sister's housing, he'll profit when he sells it. It's more of a cost saving effort for him.

^shit, your college living quarters are bigger than my normal person living arrangements.. bastard!  I probably should've bought a house instead of renting.. I have the same problem in MD that you guys up in MA have.  Nothing in my price range would be even worth a look.  I guess it's for the best though, because once my fiance graduates in May, we may have to relocate for wherever she gets a job, and my lease is up in June.

South>North

[b_beau_09]

Only for cost of living.  That is the ONLY reason I would ever consider the south.

[wtcii]

Uhhh, cost of living, weather, sweet tea, nicer people, better looking girls assuming you don't go where Mike lives.

[b_beau_09]

I'll give you TWO of the things you put on that list.  COL, and nicer people.  I like the weather in MD, I know how to make my own sweet tea since my whole family is from the south, and the girls win by ten fold up here, I'm not a fan of the "southern bell" blondes

now that being said, I live in the country right now (not a fan) and to prove as such here's my apartment complex:  http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/1381/homesh.png

I'm not really sure what the southern belle look is, but If I had to guess I don't go for them. Damn, you do live in the country.

[Mike]

You can get sweet tea at fucking McDonalds! As for the women I perfer mine with teeth and not sleeping with there cousins. There is porbably a reason cost of living is higher in the North East, and it's because more people want to live here! I actually like to have my four seasons, and you southern fucks can enjoy your tornadoes.

Hurricanes Mike....monkey fucker!! Get it right

[wtcii]

I'd like to go ahead and separate MS from AL and TN. We have teeth and we don't commit incest. McDonalds sweet tea doesn't count. Go find some Milo's Sweet tea.

[Mike]

Go find some Coffee Milk!

Touché

Unless.... You count This!

[Mike]

If you have never had it I stongly suggest trying some! It's a big time RI thing, along with Quahogs lol but, back to house buying. I'm going to look at a lake front cottage today in MA that seems resonably priced. This generally means that it needs tons of work but, my fingers are crossed.

[b_beau_09]

good luck with that mike, lake front and reasonably priced can only mean serious problems.
