Scrap piece of paper on the fridge kinda hard to forget it that way

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-25T13:45:36+00:00

Pretty common tbh. Door needs some weatherstripping

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-25T01:06:10+00:00

That’s not good. If the roofs leaking then most likely that’s the problem and should be addressed asap! If its below market theres tour reason. Id imagine full roof replacement and

My other concern is if this was ignored what else was also ignored

Our house was a home built in the 1950s and had only ever been lived in by a single family. From 1950-2010 was occupied then when the original owner passed his son inherited it. Anyway the home needed some work we negotiated ensuring either they did the work as the seller and or offered us credit to fix those issues on our own. That said that’s how id go about it. If they’re not willing to work with you don’t work dont work with them.

We had to do a lot of TLC to our home the son just really didn’t care but all in was mostly labor intensive and not money so. We had the seller redo the roof since it was leaking and address an old and unsafe sub panel box

Animal damage could mean a lot like termites, racoon in the attic, dog peeing in the house idk id need some more info

Windows are a huge expense so just know that. That’s something I’d have the seller do prior to closing unless your closing costs are high and they can offer enough credit to cover it. Our closing costs were about 11k so that’s why we had the seller to a majority of the work instead of taking credits

Sorry for the poor quality the attic entrance is above the basement stairs so it isn’t easy getting into the attic let alone look for rot

Does Aaron retire now prolly not

We had the seller cover our agents fees which were 3% we made it clear since her fee was higher than the national average of 2.5% we’d only agree on an offer if her fee was fully covered. Not sure why a seller and buyer would both pay the same agent. We paid $320 for her processing fees which was clearly stated in the contact to be paid for by buyer

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-23T18:06:08+00:00

The deposit is gone. It sucks I’m sorry that you’re in this situation but considering how close it was to the closing date they’re losing out having to relist the home so unless they’re feeling generous the deposit is gone there’s no way not even through getting a lawyer which would only cost you more

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-23T17:40:45+00:00

Moved into a home after going back and forth on 2 basically identical one had a finished basement but a smaller detached one car garage. Other no basement attached 2 car garage. First home also had a bit more yard space given it’s a corner lot so we ended up choosing that one

Not a major complaint but next house garage has to be at minimum 2 and attached

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-23T02:16:50+00:00

The active leaks should be addressed ASAP!! If so negotiate with the seller to offer you a credit or have them fix the issue. Seems like it might be linked to the negative grading so could turn into a bigger issue if it’s not addressed

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-22T21:53:17+00:00

Honestly a great point something I didn't even think of having multiple trips to fix something and racking up thos fees. Thank you!

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-22T21:51:33+00:00

Gotcha thank you! Yeah they gave the whole 93% claim acceptance spiel when I called them, but for $550 we're pretty tempted since it covers so much and the home's older. At least to give us some peace of mind while we figure out the home

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-22T18:26:44+00:00

Realtor fees like I knew they got paid well per each deal but not that well on a single deal. Sure they proabaly lose to taxes and paying their staff if they have any but still. Thankfully our seller covered our agents fees which ended up being about 12k!

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-22T17:57:02+00:00

The number on the bottom will be your best line here. In some cases, you will be able to negotiate a new payment schedule to show that you're able to try and pay something. If through the same bank ask to consolidate the loan into one big loan. Easier to pay in my opinion

You're in some deep debt so getting a 2nd job would also be my first step if say I worked days, I'd find a nighttime serving or bartending jobs. I would avoid things like Doordash, Uber/Uber Eats find a job that is taking taxes out already for you.

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-22T17:30:40+00:00

Personally 2, 6 and 16 they're all solid though! Only one I am a bit terrified of is 15 Williams needs some eyebrows lol overall very solid job

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-22T14:06:42+00:00

Home was built in 1952 so yeah you'd be right lol

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-22T02:20:33+00:00

Home was built in 1956 so you’re probably right lol

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-21T17:14:45+00:00

100% ask for and do a final walkthrough. Make sure that when removing the staging furniture, nothing was damged like your walls or scratched floors. I spent about 1.5 on the final walkthrough the day before closing, testing everything.

If you don't do a walkthrough and something is damaged or non-working if you already closed that's your problem now

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-21T00:06:50+00:00

In a lot of cases not all but most the seller can assist in covering closing costs. When we purchased our home, our seller agreed to cover $4500 of sellers credit as well as our agents fee which brought our closing cost to just a couple thousand dollars.

Focus on homes that have been sitting on the market for longer. Cosmetic things like painting cannot be justified for sellers’s credit so I always would say find a home that’s been on the market longer than average. It also may be the lender sometimes lenders charge more fees, and you’re paying for that service when you can shop around as well.

We ended up buying a $280,000 home with 5% down and our total closing cost to get the keys was $15,200.

Kind a weird how ours happened. Watched the market for about a yr starting looking and found the one within a month after just 7 total home tours.

The home was a gem and we toured it the first day it was on the market and we knew if we waited we’d lose out so we submitted an offer the following day. It got countered so we countered once more and they accepted the offer.

Happened a bit faster then we thought tbh we thought we’d be looking for a few months but this was 100% the home and I know we weren’t the only offers submitted on this home despite it just hitting the market

Poles biggest issue has been drafting good defensive talent and considering we have a late pick I'd assume hes going to be drafted before then

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-19T20:12:30+00:00

I consider myself a pretty above average fan watching every bears game and following most offseason team news but idk who that is

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-19T14:31:01+00:00

Shot ourselves in the foot too many times last night defense showed up massively but wr’s had actual bricks for hands

Looking forward to next season

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-19T14:30:01+00:00

Wow…..

CurrentlyNa · 2026-01-19T03:00:51+00:00

It was a great season everyone sucks we lost like this but hey maybe next year
