Topic: On the brink of buying a house....

A lot of money might be changing hands in the near future, stay tuned.

Cheers

Just remember, it's only money, not like it's anything real. 

Best of luck.

That's a neat looking place IMO. I live in a "semi-drtached" where two houses share a wall and there are obvious soundproofing problems, but also get one big wall that's not "outside" so heating is a bit easier. Your picture might be called a row house or link house here (Toronto) - never seen one joined by the garages only though. Link houses have one huge basement excavation for a row of houses but look like detached houses, it saves a bit on construction costs and I think there's some tax advantage.
Anyway, go for it! Paying your "rent" effectively to yourself is an excellent feeling. In a rental after 25 years you've got SFA, this way you get to burn the mortgage and have your OWN house

Well, guys and girls, the inspection went well. Found a couple of small issues that I will be able to take care of myself (good to have a father that works as a carpenter...)

The inspector spent a whopping 6,5 hours in and around the building so now I know everything there is to know. Good stuff!

Talked to the seller this evening and discussed the price of the things that needs to be adressed.

Ended up getting the price down by ca 10%... and the deal was settled!

I´m now officially a houseowner 

So happy and so very, very tired! Feels like all the tension has finally let go 

Cheers

Hooray! Good job. Sounds like you had a good inspector, he spent a good amount of time there.

HOUSED!

Another congratulations, if all goes well I will be in my own house by the end of the year.

Best of luck.

Congratulations!

Sweet.

Now it's time to remove all unnecessary weight, modify the furnace for more output, cut and stretch the garage a few feet and paint it black.

Danny, the closing (when the money changes hands) will be very tense. When it is over. Go to your House fill a tall glass of whatever you drink and enjoy your HOME. Not quite as good a feeling as sex, but it is a good feeling.
