House Hunt Update 1

I'm sure you'll all be bored to tears by the time we finally find a house, lol!

So we only got to see one of the houses today. The first one we were supposed to see we had to reschedule. The resident's child was sick. OK, fine, I understand a sick kid and not wanting to take them out.

The second house was a disappointment, to say the least. It would have been perfect had the previous owner not decided to convert the garage into the 4th "bedroom" and leave holes in the walls of said room. Yup, big gaping holes. And who knows if they actually got the necessary permits for the conversion of the garage. The tile floors and bathroom fixtures were pretty beat up and the ceiling fans all need to be replaced, as does the carpet in the entire house. Sigh! And that's just the starat of the things in the notes we made after we left. This house was built in 2003. The realtor was just as shocked as we were at the condition of the house. The listing didn't fully disclose the condition of the house. And, it's lender owned so there's no guarantee it would be fixed up if we wanted to buy the house.

This isn't as shining a start to this process as I'd hoped. I need to see if we can get out an look at a few more over the weekend.
