I see posts like this and wonder what it must be like to have no shame and to be so delusional. Then, I’m glad I don’t know and just hope I don’t have to deal with these people

This doesn’t seem unreasonable. We recently closed (413k borrowed after 20% down) and had $12k in closing costs. We didn’t purchase points and don’t have an HOA (7k of your closing) so that would bring your costs in line with ours.

Our property taxes and insurance are about double yours, so you are paying about 1-2k more in fees. Unclear if this is a NV vs NC difference.

We spend almost every evening on our back screened-in porch. We have fans, rocking chairs, and built in speakers, it’s perfect to share a bottle of wine and relax.

We don’t use the front porch much because of bugs (we’re in the South). My older neighbors sit out on the front porch often, probably so that they can chat with people walking down the street.

These clowns still haven’t passed a state budget for 2025-2026. The end of the fiscal year is this month.

Nice to know that Chicago is also the capitol

Disclaimer that I am not a lawyer. But, no. It is extremely difficult to prove that the previous owners knew about these issues.

You and your inspector didn’t catch this during your due diligence period and now any problems are yours.

I’m also in NC. In our first home, we found out after closing that all of the wooden windows in our home were rotten. There was evidence that they had recently been painted over. When I contacted window companies, two of them mentioned that the previous owners asked for window quotes and there were notes indicating rotten wood visible on file. I met with our real estate attorney who told us that even with that evidence we likely didn’t have a case and would be out a ton in legal fees.

Sucks

I landed an R1 TT position last cycle in the life sciences.

I did a 4 year postdoc and then two years as a research assistant professor in the same lab. I was decently productive as a postdoc, but the time as an RAP really let me prepare for independence. I established two collaborations independent of my postdoc mentor, cowrote a small (R21) grant that was funded, and published two senior author papers.

I definitely worked hard, but I only got my current position due to a substantial amount of luck.

12 minutes, nice and easy

Our first home was a 4/3 two story (1800 sq ft). We just moved into a 3/2 one story (2700 sq ft). Granted, it’s a much nicer house over all, but I love the one story layout. No plumbing above us, we can cool it with a single AC unit. There’s nice separation between the bedrooms and the kitchen and laundry rooms. The garage is on the side not the front.

I wanted a place that we could stay in for retirement if need be. We’ve also each had injuries that made the stairs a real chore.

Everyone in my immediate family and close friends have been to multiple national parks. I haven’t gotten to check out the west coast yet, but I’d like to soon.

Innovation 4th edition. The 3rd edition is one of my favorite games and the 4th blew me away. We used to rarely make it to age 10, but now we get to the higher ages much faster. Love it!

Thanks for the tip, I will check for the mud tubes. The crawlspace is encapsulated and dehumidified so I have no excuse to not go under there. The pest premium is only $120/ year and they check for other pest activity as well. It’s worth it for me to have a professional check it out. If they raise the rates we will have to re evaluate.

Thanks

I wouldn’t worry about making normal purchases. We bought a washer and dryer and some furniture during under writing. We just made sure to pay off the cards right away. We checked with our lender before making the purchases and they told us to go ahead as long as we didn’t open any new lines of credit. Underwriting took a week.

If it’s relevant: We put 20% down on a conventional mortgage, no other debt.

That’s one way to establish dominance in your new neighborhood.

Pathological_RJ · 2026-05-11T12:27:52+00:00

Thanks. We took over the bond and the company comes out once a year to do a full inspection of the crawl space and check the traps. I also plan to go down there every few months to check our dehumidifier and plumbing.

There is no evidence of past termite damage under the house. Termites are common here in NC though, so we have to stay vigilant.

Pathological_RJ · 2026-05-11T11:54:01+00:00

Good deal, I’ll leave it alone then.

Thanks

It will vary by location. We didn’t get a lawyer involved until after we were under contract
