So, I met with a housing inspector today v.interior pics

[Ruiner]

Getting a house requires a lot of time. Amazing. For those that buy a new (or used) house without an inspection, you are taking a huge risk. Anyway, my inspection came out A-Okay. Only a few small things, but nothing major. *whew* It's always a relief, especially on a new house and especially since the county inspectors devote VERY LITTLE time to inspections...

Here are a few interior pics since they were requested. They still have paper on the hardwood floors so as not to scratch them while working, so you will have to imagine it w/o for now...

I completely disagree(almost)

To be a home inspector in georgia all thats required is a screw driver and a flash light. Most of them wouldnt know a code book if it hit them in the head. But if you sleep better at night good for you.

Sorry, but I really would rather not talk $$$. Nothing good ever comes from it, especially when you start talking house prices. I learned my lesson with my car...

saul good man, i understand.

Owning a home is a Great Feeling.

Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure all banks require an inspection before granting a mortgage. They are not going to loan money on something unless it can be verified to be worth that specific value. So unless your paying 100% cash I don't see anyone not getting an inspection. And chances are if you have that amount of cash its not because your stupid. So you'd be smart enough to get an inspection anyway.

sum 1 must have told u that we all give a fuk and want a step by step update with photos??

inspection is not the same thing as an appraisal there buddy... lenders dont want to see an inspection! but they do want to make sure they have the proper collateral for the debt they are about to grant.

I agree. On both of my houses, I've picked the lot and checked every phase of construction. It kicks ass getting to see what is behind the sheet rock before it goes up. We had a lot of input on rooms, closet location etc.

Buying new > *

Well, it's still better than nothing...

Not really. I have been long tired of the city for many years now. I actually look forward to moving out there... :)

That is not true. You are missing the concept between inspection and appraising. Every house in the state of GA must be appraised by a certified appraisal. The inspection is optional and has nothing to do with the loan as long as it doesn’t violate the FHA requirements and some regulations.

[Ruiner]

Actually, I am now very curious about this comment. Did I do something to you that I am not aware of? What gives? It seems out of the blue...:confused:

[rickgiblin]

i know that money is never good to talk about, but just as a ballpark for the dude that asked... the house i live in with my parents is a 6 bedroom, 4 bath and it was valued between 340000 and 400000. and its on suwanee dam before the highschool.


but congrats on the a+ inspection. good luck with the move, let me know if you need any help

[carrascopa]

i was just bein a sarcastic asshole bro.... i know the first home purchase is exciting.... congrats man

Probably not. I'm wanting to sell it, invest, and buy the new 997TT in a few years.

[Stormhammer]

[SixSquared]

Nice house! I remember when we built our old house.. it was WAY cool watching it get built. The house we live in now is like 30 years old, and it's been one big renovation... soooo sick and tired of stepping over dropcords and toolboxes. *eyeroll* New FTMFW!

[Vteckidd]

congratulations man. I live in atlantic station, looking to buy a house in the next year. Downtown is kool, but your right, it gets old adter awhile.

Umm, you live in the same place that my brother does. I've seen that car. It is from Rockdale, yes? I bet that he got the idea from me being that I had "RUINER" on my VR-4 when I lived in Conyers/Rockdale for 3.5yrs.

My bro has a white jeep Cherokee and lives there. His fiance has a silver Rodeo. They have a little chihuahua that they walk. You've probably seen them before. You probably see me pull up in the Rover when I come to pick him up for golf at times. Talk about close...

As for Atlanta, it is just getting to be too dangerous. When your city is always top 10 in the nation for "most violent cities", it is time to leave...

Nah, dunno what PD means (or maybe I do). He lives on the corner right there, before the garage. He typically parks in the cobblestone alley-way.
