Finally. :o|
My only advice is ...Congratulations!! Finally. :o|<br /><br />My only advice is the advice I always got from my aunt (who is a real estate mini-mogul) -- you don't want to be the most expensive house on the street and, as Verb said, buy the cheapest house that you can find/like in the best neighborhood you can afford.UrbanStarGazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222461123244046607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30850621.post-80122110845142829782010-03-02T12:22:58.550-06:002010-03-02T12:22:58.550-06:00Huge congrats to you!

Always worked out well for us.<br /><br />We took care of our pool all three years in Florida. It wasn't hard. We just carted a water sample into the pool store every week and they told us what chemicals to dump in that week. No trouble at all.vqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062192586374453535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30850621.post-22296739623646112282010-03-01T22:14:40.533-06:002010-03-01T22:14:40.533-06:00I think you've earned it. go for it!I think you've earned it. go for it!Catzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634426665322422632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30850621.post-31056667683787463222010-03-01T18:35:38.268-06:002010-03-01T18:35:38.268-06:00You all are the best. Thanks for all the congrats...You all are the best. Thanks for all the congrats and the advice. Maybe I am nuts to get a pool. But I've lived for years in apartment complexes that had pools and wanted to swim every day, but it was too crowded or dirty or closed when I wanted to swim at 6am or midnight. I know that a pool and hot tub are not value items monetarily, but they will be wonderful for me and my family and Jenny Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690196056614521503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30850621.post-78812432256940095852010-03-01T12:45:29.874-06:002010-03-01T12:45:29.874-06:00Keep a log of what houses you have seen,and what a...Keep a log of what houses you have seen,and what appeals to you, try not to sign with a realtor. Tell them right up front if they do their job, you will be faithful, but if they don't, you aren't willing to waste six months with them. Ask them for their MLS book or the password to sign onto it online (I would presume that is offered in your area). You can cut down a lot of possibilities sheila222https://www.blogger.com/profile/00775182187653307325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30850621.post-62212423068177570862010-03-01T05:19:20.032-06:002010-03-01T05:19:20.032-06:00Congratulations!

Some condos come with a community pool and other amenities with no outside maintenance, unless you enjoy lawn mowing, etc..<br />Set up a bank account for emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14630614507014270722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30850621.post-8493625421738605502010-02-28T16:33:06.161-06:002010-02-28T16:33:06.161-06:00Congratulations!
