Yep. My and my gal bought our first house today! Pretty intense... the whole process...
We got a great interest rate. We had plenty of headaches along the way, primarily due to the incompetence of the lender -whom we ended up having to get kind of nasty with (going to his supervisors, calling him and them constantly until he returned our calls, lived up to his word on things, etc).
But now it's a done deal... pretty much. We're just waiting for confirmation of the very last step from the escrow/title company. Barring some highly unlikely issue popping up, it'll be recorded tomorrow, and we'll get the title and keys... pretty exciting... and scarey!
We're still trying to get a couple minor but significant things done. We don't want to move until the alarm is activated, for example. But we should begin moving in soon.
It's a relatively small starter home... but we really like it. It's cozy, with a decent sized yard, a minimal front yard, and two levels -so our bedroom, office, and music room will be all upstairs, and separate from the downstairs... which we like. I haven't made any music there yet... but my intuition is that the home will have good acoustics -particularily for my flute and classical guitar.
Tom Z, once we get settled in, I'll be inviting you over for a coffee and/or beer and/or jam!
Hey... isn't there another club member who lives in Vegas? I sorta have the feeling I've forgot about another member who lives here. (And if so, I apologize!)
