Tampa House Hunting Adventure

[Domon]

In some cases, I agree with you. Townhomes that were originally built to be rentals, of which we have a lot of down here, are crap. They weren't built with the concept of 'long term living' in mind. Even some of the regulars sucks ass.

If I had one where all I saw were my neighbors out the back window, no way I'd get one. I got lucky with the fact that it's nature preserve behind my place. Technically, it can't be built on, ever. I also got lucky that the place was never owned by anyone before I bought it, so I'm the cherry popper on it. What I'm paying for it, + HOA, is only $200 bucks a month more than what I was paying for an 1100sq foot rental just before, and that place didn't even have a garage.

including the HOA thats a pretty good deal.

My mortgage is less than 200 more than my rent was too, its awesome.

650 sqft apt >> 1600 sqft house and 2 acres (including prop taxes, insurance, etc) for less than a 200 bucks increase.

Yeah, I wish I had land to do shit with, but this townhome is going to become an excellent rental property for me when I decide to get into 4 walls.

 

[Domon]

Don't buy a place with paper thin walls. I can hear noise from the street way before any neighbors.

your place might be an exception, you have ridiculous stone walls from back when they built shit right.

It's not privacy unless you can stagger out any of your doors in broad daylight, and pop a few skunked beer cans with a .44 while taking a leak.

I'm trying to talk April into buying a smaller house for us to live in and rent the one we're in now.

You could rent the loft above my garage.

 

[APRIL]

Still no bowling alley installed?

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Nope
Right now it just houses old car parts and christmas decorations

Wasn't that already suggested?

this statement put it more succinctly that i ever could have.

I approve.

This house hunting thing is going to be the death of me. Went and looked at http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/610-Valle-Vista-Dr-Brandon-FL-33511/44993675_zpid/
Great house, cupboards and appliances should need updating, but it was a very nice house. I thought she'd love it.

We didn't even see two rooms before she said she didn't like it.

I feel ya.

My girlfriend won't even look at a house that has jalousie windows. That's for trashy poor people, she says.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

I was so pissed with her about it. She showed up not liking it "because I saw the pictures on the ad and knew I wouldn't like it from them"

LOL I had to look up what those are...


I refuse to look at houses with bars on the windows... But that is for good reason tho.

[Mr. Argumentor]

Yes, it's made of plywood, that's why I thought it was a great house.

"Those bars on the windows really class up the place", said no one ever.

"Those bars on the windows really class up the place", said no one ever.

"Even though this place is in a good neighborhood, I should put bars on the windows in the remote off chance I might be targeted for crime", also said no one ever.
