Witty title.
I, Homeowner
Ain't she beautiful? Image courtesy Google Street View:
After wrestling with the mortgage company for a good two months trying to get a proper loan for it, it's finally ours. First they accepted our offer, then the mortgage company said it appraised for less than we paid, then we redid our offer, then the sellers rejected it, then they changed their minds, then the mortgage company said it's a condo, then they said it wasn't, ad nauseum. We worked through it all though, and ended up paying less because of the whole mess, so I guess that's a good thing.
It's 1500 square ft plus a full finished basement that has carpet, drywall, etc. The basement has a wet bar (wooo!) with dishwasher and sink, and some side-rooms we'll end up using as offices/storage. It's got a beautiful cedar deck in back with a nice sized lawn with an enclosed privacy fence, an outdoor gas firepit (!), and a jacuzzi (double woo!) They're even throwing in their Washer/dryer, fridge, stove, microwave, etc. All for a very nice michigan-market price (rock bottom.)
We move in in a month. Let's hope the sellers don't trash it before then.
