    OH mans, soon George can join the very exclusive landed gentry of the FRC..

    One day when prices drop from all the old people dying, I swear I will own a square inch of NYC land that will be worth more than all your lands combined. It will produce like ten shields, five food, ten science, and thirty arts thanks to all the nearby wonders.

    I'd rather own an ounce of gold than an entire mountain of dog shit.

    I dunno man, I could compost a mountain of shit and sell it back at a profit. Probably worth way more than an ounce of gold.

  • CremlianCremlian
    Scott only cares about the aesthetic value of the gold, not realizing the inherit worth of a pile of dog shit.
  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    The trick is finding the pile of dog shit that's covering undiscovered gold.

    Makes you wonder why the phrase 'Worth it's weight in a mountain of dog shit' never caught on.
  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    Offer is submitted, now the waiting game.
  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    They made a reasonable counter offer and I accepted. We have a ratified contract.

    bty just a side note, you are putting the house in one person's name right?

    For legal issues, if you are not married I would always recommend one person only having ownership of the house with some sort of reimbursement plan if partnership dissolved. Way easier legally.

    A mountain of dog shit is actually more useful. Im not against buying property in NYC though, Im just here to defend the merits dog shit ownership.

    Yeah, being a short sale there is lots of potential for this deal to fall apart. We'll see, best case everything is fine and I have a house by Thanksgiving, but the paperwork process could easily stretch into next year.
  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    Short sale has been verbally approved, written approval should follow shortly. Home inspection is scheduled for tomorrow so I get to find out then if I'm actually going to buy this place.
  • WyattWyatt
    How'd it go?
  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    The home inspection was so so. The inspector pointed out cracks in the foundation of the addition that could be very expensive to fix. However, Saturday we had a structural engineer out to look at it and he said that it wasn't anything to worry about so we're moving forward. It had a bunch of little things wrong, but the house is overall in great shape. So I'm just making a handy man fix it list for post closing. Waiting on the appraisal from my bank to see if they think it's worth 250K, then termite inspection, ???, and closing!
  • CremlianCremlian
    So exciting!

    My appraisal came in $10K short of the agreed price, now the fun begins. >_>

  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    Sale price has been officially reduced the $10K. Closing is still on for the 18th.

    Yea, I have a baby, two houses and I'm turning 35 next week :-p 1uped :-p

    Getting a bit excited yet? just putting the down payment is enough to get most people nervous.

    I was nervous when I wrote that massive cheque to buy that house in Beacon. I handed it over in the driveway.

    I was less nervous when I served them notice that I wanted it back.

  • George PatchesGeorge Patches
    Chris and I are getting pretty excited. We're really looking forward to having a kitchen where we can walk around each other.

    Doing it right. The trick is to always have more houses than kids. #2house1kidclub

  • CremlianCremlian
    Shit, that means I have to buy another house when I have a second kid.... *might actually be the case*
  • MattMatt
    We considered it ourselves, but decided to just have an only child instead.
  • Luke BurrageLuke Burrage
    I'm so glad I rent and have no kids.
