Guess what I did this weekend.......

[LynneSin]

....I jumped in head first and put an offer on a really sweet 2-bedroom condo. It needs some new carpetting and a paint job but it's really spacious and a great neighborhood

OMG - I'm becoming responsible :scared:

1. Congratulations!

Sounds really nice.

2. Well, dang! :^D Good for you *hugs*

[AllegroRondo]

3. you're in for some fun times

the great thing about buying a place that needs some work, is that you can re-do it any way you like. let those creative ideas flow!

[LynneSin]

4. Well technically it's in better condition then the apartment I have

but you couldn't really repaint and refloor the apartment.

Greens will be the new color of my place. I love greens

[AllegroRondo]

7. you should talk to my wife

she did our whole living room and kitchen in greens, with browns and reds for highlights. I just showed up to paint the walls and move heavy items.

[LynneSin]

9. Are you for hire

:pals:

[AllegroRondo]

10. yes, but you have to negotiate the contract with my wife

and provide beer. :beer:

but if you want painting tips, I've done every room in our house in the last 2 years. some twice.

[LynneSin]

11. Hell bring the wife along - she can supervise with me

And I hope you like Dogfish Pale Ale - one of the best beers in the country from Rehobeth Beach Delaware

13. I've never tried it

but I'm a sucker for micro brews. :9

5. Congrats....

I hope you get the condo. I bought my two bedroom condo 7 years ago and although the whole process was really scary (wait till you have to sign all that paperwork when you go to closing!) I can assure you its sooooo much better than renting!!!:applause:

[LynneSin]

6. Are you saying condos have more paperwork than buying regular places

:scared:

[TZ]

16. I don't THINK so....

Depends on what you are doing with your loan I think...It could be I had more because I have an FHA based loan as a first-time home owner, so I had a lot of government red-tape kind of issues. If you are not a first time owner it might not be so bad..:)

8. You go girl!

This past Friday was the 1 year anniversary of buying my condo. Haven't looked back.

15. Hey, not my problem you have issue with identifying brass instruments

You probably can't tell the difference between a Cornet and a Trumpet
