Man... I had no idea how much paperwork,
time talking on the phone, discussing
things, and considering things, and
insurance and bla bla bla bla bla...
Man... I knew it was alot of work, but
not this much...
But I am really really excited... My bf
and I are getting a house... Im keeping
it in my name in case things go downhill
with us... Im trying to play this smart
anyways... We live in southeast texas and
my bf is a big hunter and loves
peacefulness and lots of land and all
that... And so do i... Better than such
a big city... Im not the city girl
type...
So here is the house we are looking at...
In the picture it looks very small, but it
only shows one side of the house... The
house extends way out on the other side...
And its on the river... Im already
approved for the loan, just have to get
all the paperwork done!! And make sure
this is really really the house we want
before anything is final...
So here are some pics of the house...
that is a little place for our boat to go
in the water, and one side of the
house...
here is a picture from the deck from the
house...
3 bedroom
2 full baths
fireplace
boat parking
double pane windows
solar screens
smoke detectors
house alarm
sheetrock
ceiling fans
dishwasher
refrigerator
free standing range
self-clean oven
fenced half acre yard
storage building (matches house)
wooden deck
satellite dish
flood lights
concrete driveway
anyways.... Tell me what ya think any
hints, tips, advice, questions I need to
be sure and ask... Thanks gals...

I like it, but it would scare me about the
water. I mean I know how to swim and all
but 1 children dont so is it fenced off
where your child would be/play, and what
about flooding or whaen the water rises
what would you have to do and what is
covered. Im sorry I like it but yes there
are alot of questions

Very pretty. How much is it?
Definately keep it in your name. From my
experience buying a house you don't really
know what you're getting until you're
living there for awhile so if you love it
buy it. I love our house, but we did
have some trouble shortly after moving in.
Nothing major. You should know of any
major problems before you buy anyway.
Other stuff to think about that you may
not know until moving in is where will the
sun come in in the morning, at sunset,
will there be any sun with all those
trees, would you like that, little stuff
like that. Also, our washer and dryer is
in the basement and bedrooms are 3 flights
of stairs up (sux). Okay enough about
me...Nice house.

yes the flooding did come to mine and my
bf's mind... The area they said will
flood about 15 days out of the year...
Other than that, they said we dont have to
worry about it flooding horrible unless we
have a hurricane... But thats anywhere...
Yes the yard is fenced so no children
(even though we dont have anyyet :) )
but yes, it is fenced it, and the gate has
locks on it so they wont just swing open
or anything...

ask, may turn into big things...
Thanks for the compliments and advice so

man thats cheap. A townhouse here for
3bdrms 3 level is going as low as 268,000.
Man I say if you like it get it. Just
ask plenty of questiosns.. Paint,
flooring, appliances, maintances, roof
siding etc. When wa the last time the
deck was inspected stuff like that. Good
luck hun. Just make sure you get the
insurance that you can purchase.

yea, I will be getting insurance quotes
after everthing is coming to an end...
268,000?!?!?!? Man... If you spent that
much down here in texas
(at least where we are) then you would
have a badass house...
My parents have a 3 bedroom 3 bath brick
home, with 2 living areas, sheetrock,
tile, 1/3 acre, utility room, etc, and its
only 110,000

You will get home owners insurance for
some stuff in the house. There are some
optional inspections. Optional so if you
have a gut feeling to go for then do it.
And about the water. If your babies are
born and raised there I don't think it
will be much of a concern. You will
start teaching them when they are infants
about the dangers of water. Not to say
you won't worry at all, but you know what
I mean.
