The "Looking to become a homeowner" Thread

[Godson]

When I looked at my house, I looked at easily 40 houses. Not making that number up.

This Wednesday, the cycle is complete. My parents move into the upstairs of my house here in Cypress, CA. We did a lot of construction so that they have their own space, including a kitchenette my father and I are putting in.

Now we just need to get their house in PA sold, so we can get the rest of the things we need done here finished up. Probably about $20k-25k to get all the things remaining done, but once we do, the house will be perfect for our needs and in excellent condition.

Me and my wife just bought our first house, in the opposite situation of KB we moved out of her parents house that we had finished renovating the upstairs ourselves with the understanding that we would inherit the house down the road (paying off her brother and sister's share). Long story short lots of family drama and us deciding we didn't need a 6 bedroom house for just the 2 of us when they were gone, and it was way past time for both of us to do this on our own.

I got a large detached 2 car garage + 12'x18' workshop/shed/cat house (we have 4 outside cats) she got the old house (1930) and large porch that she wanted. Ripped up all the carpet on closing and had the original oak 1" slat hardwood floors refinished before we moved in and I think the sellers had the roof redone because I looked like their nephew.
