We closed on the house yesterday.

We're officially home owners!

Now the fun starts: This weekend will be painting and planning. Next weekend (long holiday weekend) we'll be sanding and starting to finish the floors.

Milk doors FTW!

The nice part about this house is that we'll have close to a 100% return on every dollar we put into the house. I know it's not possible to get ALL our money back, but it was priced low enough, and we're buying at less than the assessed value, so we really only have one way to go with the value.

That's how I look at it. I bought my house for under assesment. Homes in my side of the city are now selling within 3 weeks of listing typically. The price was rediculously low and with the increasing interest in this side of the city my dollars will be well spent. ) Then I can buy bigger. Enjoy the home and take a break when needed. It can get overwhelming at times.
