My First House!!!

[piratebg]

Well, unofficially but it is pretty much mine. We have been looking for a house since the end of last year and have looked at several, but the one house we found was actually sitting behind our apartment this whole time and we didn't realize it. Long story short, the owner is a friend of my mother in law and she is practically giving it to for a very low price. Our realator damn near passed out when she saw the house and heard the price. Anyways, we draw up the paper work on Monday and things should be getting a lot better in the very near future. I am so excited.

It was kind of hard to find a house in our price range, and the ones that were were getting optioned out within a week and that got me po-ed every time. Your brothers house was one that I looked at last week. Nice house and was considering it until recently.

theyve had a few people really interested. my parents house goes on the market next week. i think a lot of people are buying in Sinton to beat out any more interest rate hikes. it's a sellers market now. but the advice i tell all renters is to buy. its an investment. the only problem is that as property values increase, so do taxes and ive known several people who have had to move beacause of it:(

Governor Perry just recently signed a bill to increase cigarett taxes to give to schools in order to lower school property taxes. I don't know if it will go into effect this year or not or how long it will last. We will see.
