I found a house that I want! It's an old (1910) house that has been updated.
It is on just over 1/4 acre, & it's listed as a 2br/2b, but there is a huge loft upstairs, that I would use as a bedroom. It does not have a closet (why it's not "legally" a bedroom). There is a bathroom in the loft.
It is so cute!! There are only a couple modifications I would need to do (has an old sliding glass door off the kitchen), & an ugly boarded up enclosure he as built on the back deck for his tools, I would open it up & maybe expand the deck.
It is move in ready though. It has newer paint, newer roof, decent appliances, & newer carpet.
If I can get a bank to approve despite the shortsale, I stand a really good chance of getting this house! If they accept my offer, I will be paying a couple hundred less than what I am paying for rent now.
There are no other offers (most likely because it's listed as a 2 bedroom house), & it has been on the market for over 9 months, & the offer I will be presenting, is over their listed price.
Please send good thoughts & prayers that this works out!!
If it does work out, it will be 2 months before I could move, so I will be talking to the landlord about a month to month (which is what I told him I wanted when I moved in almost a year ago-I said I would sign a 1yr lease & then month to month).
I have one month until the lease is up, so hopefully I will only be paying him one month before I move (fingers & toes crossed!)
I am so excited!!
