Not really much to update on, but figured it was time to do another post.  We looked at another house a couple weeks ago and immediately put a bid in on.  It was a beautiful house and I wanted it even before going to look at it.  Unfortunately the seller didn't bother to look at our bid until after another bid came in (2 weeks after our bid) and chose their bid.  So, we're back to where we were last time I posted about house hunting. We are planning to go look at another house, but who knows what we'll do.  We looked at the house some months ago and it was nice but went pending before {Keep on Reading}

We haven't heard anything as of yet, but it just doesn't seem to be going to well.  Our agent sent me an email saying they had a higher offer, but the bank was still going over all the bids.  So, it looks like we just wait and see and hope they for some reason like our bid better.  Which I doubt will be the case, so we've decided to just start looking again. One more house out of our sights :(( I sure hope we find something soon, we're both getting tired and discouraged with all the bad luck we've been having. {Keep on Reading}

Yesterday we went out and spent about 6 hours looking at houses.  We went to four houses, but only two of them are really worth mentioning. The first house worth talking about, we also looked at the day before and had to go back for another look and to take pictures.  Very nice house, still has many of the 1950's features from when it was built, which we both really liked.  It has Pro's and Con's as do all houses.  The main Con for me is that the fireplace is in the basement, which to me is pointless.  The main Con for Brandon is that the upstairs is actually pointless for him because {Keep on Reading}

We went house hunting today and found TWO houses we want.  So now we have to decide which one we want. 1st house, it's close to work and a cute little house that has everything we want.  Still old fashion in some ways, but we like the way it looks.  Here are the pictures we took of the house.  This house has an estimated $1817 in taxes a year. 2nd house, it's a big house, country like, lots of room, but further from work.  We wanted to be out in the country anyway and this is an awesome area.  Has Indian Springs Metro Park right in our back yard, Big Lake not too far from our {Keep on Reading}

Happy Srping! We went house hunting today.  Nothing major to report.  All three houses we looked at SUCKED :( but we'll be going out again tomorrow. Anyway, we went and looked at three local houses.  The first wasn't too bad.  Needed some cleaning and updating but didn't move :moveit me.  We took many pictures, but frankly I'm not going to waste the time uploading them as we aren't going to pursue the house any. The second house we looked at, actually looked to be the better of the three, at least to me.   That is until we walked into it.  MOLD, you could just smell it when {Keep on Reading}

So, we went out yesterday and looked at three houses. The first was this house.  Nice looking house from the outside, but wouldn't pass FHA by a long shot.  No carpeting in some rooms, in fact there were more rooms without carpet or tile that there were with in just the few rooms we looked at.  Kind of walked in, looked at the living room, kitchen, and went upstairs and seen the bedrooms and walked out.  Didn't go to the lower level at all. The next house was this house.  Decent house, looked cramped in it though.  We think it may have looked cramped due to all the stuff the people {Keep on Reading}

During my lunch today, I met up with Brandon and we went an looked at a house that is just over a mile from where I work. Here's a listing of the house we went to look at this house. Nothing major, just a little house that has the three criteria features we wanted...basement, garage, and fireplace. Here's pictures Brandon took while we were going through the house. House needs some work, nothing major that I seen, but a good painting and cleaning. Brandon likes this house more than the one we went to last night, but I like the other one better...unfortunately that one is pending a {Keep on Reading}

At another house today.  Here is the listing. Not bad, you can see pictures HERE that we took.  Looks just like the last house we looked at, same layout and and much better neighborhood.  Only downfall from what we've seen so far is that in the notes of the listing it say: THIS IS A COUNTRYWIDE VA REO PROPERTY ALL OFFERS NEED TO PROVIDE A PRE-APPROVAL LETTER BY A COUNTRYWIDE BRANCH OFFICE. Which makes me wonder if they'll ever sell the house if they'll only sell the house to someone that gets a loan from their own bank.  So I'll be calling Tracie tomorrow to find out about this {Keep on Reading}
