Buying a House (God willing…)

We are in the process of buying a house finally. We are quite excited that we were able to find a place with our low loan amount.

Here’s the specs on the place…

The house was built in 1921.

Bedrooms: 3            Bathrooms:1           Garages: 1    (the garage serves as a shed though and the place where the garage door would be located is sealed off.)

Square Ft.: 1255            Lot size: .14

There’s about 1,000 square ft. on the main level and about 250 square ft. is the unfinished partial basement. The partial basement serves as the utility room.

Most of the floors are hardwood except for the kitchen and bathroom which are vinyl.

There is an alley for access to the garage and a parking space.

The house is located in a small city about 15 miles away from where my hubby works.

The house needs a couple repairs to bring it up to FHA standards which the sellers have agreed to take care of. So, we are hoping everything goes smoothly and will be getting an inspection on the 14th.

The offer we gave them was more than a few thousand lower than they were asking and they weren’t intending to do the repairs but thankfully they went with our offer and have agreed to do the repairs. I will update on how everything turns out.
