Update: the inspection went well, the sewer camera came up clean (as clean as a poo-filled pipe could be at least), now I just need confirmation from the bank.
Here's to hoping.
I took some pics but my phone just died. Later I'll upload the money shot: the view from the rooftop yields an excellent vantage point of downtown pittsburgh.
Closing date is 7/21. The waiting is the hardest part.Leave a comment:

Look at all of us growing up and shit.
Looks like you are further ahead than me. I'm not working with a real estate agent, so it's a little more leg work. Have a purchase agreement, found a closing agency. Now waiting to hear back from my bank for the next step. Part of me wishes I had an agent to take care of the shit, but I'm saving 15k on the price of the home this way.
Good luck to you, keep us updated!Leave a comment:

personally, i am a huge fan of the character that comes along with a turn of the century home. however, those homes generally need thousands and thousands of dollars worth of work. hopefully, the new home you picked is more....maintenance free.
post some pics. i can give you what advice i have.....Leave a comment:

homebuying fun (caution: stupidly wide .jpg)
Hey y'all. Haven't checked in here in a while. Been busy with a work and my latest obsession: buying a house (instead of working on my mess of an e30).
I'm looking for anecdotal accounts of the homebuying experience. I've seen a lot of shitholes and actually walked away from a property already due to the sewer being a mess (1900s construction in the city = weird stuff).
Currently under contract on a decent place. Inspection's this saturday.
Any tips/advice/etc?Last edited by evandael; 06-05-2016, 08:54 AM.
