Ok, so the house/garage I wanted is now out of the question.
For those of you that dont know, I'm trying to buy some property. I was interested in a place that had a huge garage and lift with an apartment attached but I talked to the owner today and he's fixin' it up to sell at a higher price....175k. Fuck that. Totally not worth it!
Now I'm just looking for a piece of land. I plan to build some type of garage with a lift. This is going to get interesting.
-
I see you have your priorities in order!
-
If you wanted to move to florida my father in law is selling 9 acres in Ocala with a full work shop(he is a mechanic) and a nice double wide trailer. But you probably want to stay in Miss so i cant really help. Just thought i would through that out there its the only garage with a lift that i know of.
-
Be glad you don't live in California man. All those chicks you saw aren't worth the price of the land and smog laws.
-
Yeah my priorities are strange. lol, Four cah garage with attached living quarters. Or maybe the living quarters will be in the garage.
Actually, figuring the cost of the garage/metal building and the slab....I'll probably just get a cheap ass trailor.
-
Um, around here we have more land than I don't KNOW what. Cheap, too......and your fucking house wont blow away, Auntie M.

Missippi would be one hell of a commute. But he has
done that.
-
Good luck with the property search, I know that can be a pain in the ass especially afta Katrina. I think it took me and the wife about 2 years to find a place we could afford but it was worth it. :eek:
-
I believe it took me 19 hours to drive from Sylvans to Biloxi. Non stop. They say there gonna build a casino out there. Indian I'm sure.
-
We have a few Indian casinos up this way. Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods to
name a few. I've heard rumors of more being built as well.

That is the only way the Indians can get the country back one casino at a time.
-
Theres a war at the Foxwoods. Employees arnt happy. You may hear of a walkout one day.
-
Good luck in finding something you want.
-
The talks are moving along. The lady sent me a sample of properties that are available. I talked to her today and she's going to email me a list. As far as housing, I got three good leads, one of them is a camper trailer...if a hurricane comes, I can move my home, lol. The other two are mobile homes. I thought about a real house but 30K in interest (or something like that) is crazy. I dont want to spend 30 years paying for a house.
-
Unfortunately dude thats reality today. The only way around that is to buy it out right, if you could squeeze Sylvan's account enough for that. :rofl;
-
Go on and make the commitment! Get into debt up to your eyeballs like everyone else who buys a house! Remember, the motgage interest is tax deductable, which could help a single guy like you.
-
I cant do it Chris. Gulp. I cant even commit to a girl for more than a year let alone a house for 30 years. I want to be debt free also...thats the biggest thing.
-
Every time I turn around I bump my ass on a native casino.
-
Monday I go in to put in an offer and bring a check for escrow or something.
Closing costs. Who usually pays them? How should I deal with that when I make the offer?
-
closing cost ..ugh ... dude watch the money on that carefully. As for who pays them ...I had to pay them when I bought my house last year. Sometimes if the seller is really motivated you can get them to pay them, but that generally only happens if you pay asking price.
-
I'm going to offer 10% lower than their asking + seller pays 100% closing. Let them counter.
-
sounds good ... good luck with the negotiations. do you have a lender already? I used countrywide and I was pretty pleased with them .. no surprises at closing.
-
My sister works at Country Wide! I don't know dick about house buying, but what do you need? Maybe she can help? Maybe not? She's bitchy at times.
-
sounds good ... good luck with the negotiations.
-
I just need a signature loan for a small ammount, the rest I saved for. I just dont want to save anymore, I want to buy the land now.
-
I'm excited for you Robert!
But it looks like you wont be insuring your property with State Farm....they've pulled out of MS completely.... ..a sign, maybe?
-
Yeah, phuck State Farm. Like I said, I'm buying a trailer and when a storm hits....I'm going on vacation....th ats IF I get something to haul it with.
-
... I'm buying a trailer and when a storm hits....
You are from Mississippi aren't you.
-
Yeah, we know how to live cheap down here...dont we?
-
LOL Get a trailer with pontoons man.
-
That would actually be cool. I had a buddy that lived on a house boat. It was pimped out inside including a hidden whirlpool in the floor. He's probably living on a dock in Jamaica nowadays.
-

oh no ... your not buying some tornado bait are you? lol that's what they call trailers in north bama.
-
Tornado Magnet!
-
I'll have alot of trees around me to catch my stuff if that happenes.
-
I bought a crappy trailor yesterday. It's an office trailor so it's pretty much gutted out. I can build it like I want...shower, stove, fridge. Nothing nice or special but it's paid for. lol. When I paint the outside and put carpet in it'll be pretty good looking.
No pics, why? Cuz I forgot the camera. lol
-
Congrats! Nothing like a place of your own!
-
Pics or STFU
-
Congrats! A place you can call "Home" now.
-
I'm so redneck! But I wont have any bills in 08!!!
-
I'd love to do that, but buildable land around here is $100k/acre. And zoning
laws are extremely prohibitive.
-
Look for something in the country. Wont take long b4 your town expands.
-
Well, I found a new lot thats about 225x225'. has all utilities too! Plus enterances from two different sides of the property. It's sweet! Owner financing also. Problem is that it's in a flood plane and the new guidelines says I have to jack it up 12ft in the air on a perminate foundation. Thats $10K. Forget that place...NOW I have about four choices for land. Lets see if one of these can work for me.
-
im starting to save NOW for a house in a couple years... Have 5 grand and will need much much more for 20%.
Hoping all the dumbfucks that bought with interst onlu loans can make their payment for a little while longer. Then when i'm ready they crash.
350K minimun for a crappy neighborhood in the REAL OC

Insurance is significantly more if you live in a flood zone.
-
State Farm isnt even offering insurance down here...flood zone or not. lol I'm not going to buy in a flood zone anyways.
-
A flood policy is an entirely separate policy that is run by the federal gov't.....and it's fucking expensive.

People are still waiting for their insurance money...almost two years later! The govt wants us to rebuild but they wont have the REAL elevation for two more years! I dont understand the holdup. I just dont think they give a fuck about their homeland.
After spending tons of time searching, plotting and planning, I bought a piece without the help from any of the dumbass realtors down here. I havent closed on it yet, were waiting for the appraisal and survey. Hopefully I'll close in a couple weeks. It's bigger than I wanted and alot more. I had to actually get a loan. Ugh. BUT, It's worth it. A little over a half acre. I hope to close in a week or two. Then I'll have to clear it.
I'm only going to clear what I'm going to actually use...driveway parking and a place for the trailor. I'm going to clear the rest as I need it. I'll probably split the land and set up a couple rental properties on the other half...get some income comming in. We'll see.

Sounds like a plan, good luck and Congrats!
-
Sounds good!! Congrats!!

I was the first one to know :rocklicker:
I have a chainsaw...I wonder how long it would take me to kill myself using it.
-
I was the first one to know
-
Tomorrow (friday) I go and close on it. It sucks that 5K is going to be yanked out of my bank account and another 4.5K soon after for development but it's worth it.
You wouldnt have to worry about killin yourself Jim, I wouldnt even let you fire it up. I dont like seeing people cutting trees when I'm around...I WANNA be the cutter, lol, I like sawing trees.

Becareful with that chain saw!
-
Well shit, time for an update. I got my land cleared. By hand. It was a pain in the ass. I hardly had any help. It was too hot and everyone was like "fuck that" lol.
Ended up, I over cleared. i mean, I cleared it how I wanted it but I made it too neat. I cut the stumps just below the ground. Not thinking I'm going to have about 6" of fill dirt covering everything. I ruined so many chains and since the local Lows doesnt carry the cheap chains I spent about $25 a chain for my fancy ass husqvarna chainsaw.
I had 6 loads of dirt dropped and spread yesterday. I'm getting one more then I'll sort out what I'm going to do next. I need to get my trailer in soon so I dont have to pay my over priced storage fee next month.
As some of y'all know, my good phone is dead but is now suddenly alive. I'll get it reactivated so I can snap some pics. My current phone sucks, no pics.
-
Good to hear from you again. I'm currently looking for a place.
My mom and I have been having problems with the park management.
Long story....
-
Sheesh, good luck!
People who own property tend to be anal.
Did I mention I got bit by ANOTHER Brown Recluse? This time was no joke. I had a welt the size of a softball, and a wound 1" x 3/4". Worst pain I ever felt. Three weeks later and it still hurts. A lady I work with told me about her husband, he had the same size bite...spent 4 days in the hospital. I almost gave in and went cuz I got scared but held out cuz I cant afford to miss work right now. Aww man, it was nasty. oozing, black, and to the bone. Not only did the sore hurt like the god of all hell (i'm not kiddin') but it hurt so bad that I couldnt sleep. I never in my life woke from pain. Oh, and cleaning it...I dug meat or whatever out with my nail. Ugh. I had to prep for hours befor I did it. I was honestly afraid I was going to die or have my leg amputated. I broke out in a rash, fever, sick to my stomach for a few days. And during all that I still worked AND cleared land. I aint no pussy!
-
I also forgot to mention CTC. Another great year. 10 GN's 1 TTA and 1 GNX. I touched a GNX.....the tailpipe. Tag was GNXTINT or something. Not in the GNX registry either. #504 from I believe Houma Louisiana. I met that tuner guy from Baton Rouge too. KMA will know who I'm talking about. Oh, Sinistrv6 was there too along with TurboNasty. Once again...anothe r incredible year at CTC.

I wanted to go, but I couldn't.
Any pics ? I hope that guy thoroughly cleaned that tailpipe when you were done...
( providing that you're anything like Lepizzle...)
-
We got some pics, not much. I'll post them soon
-
Sounds great, congrats....ex cept, ya know about the recluse spider thing.....Make sure you take care of it...if your sick that is not good.....
-
If ya start scaling the ceiling and slinging webs, its too late.
-
We want pics....you better get the bite looked at or I'll send the misses down to kick your butt.
-
aww man, it's too late for pics, plus my phone with the camera is broke.
I can describe the current condition though. It's still somewhat numb when I press on it. Hurts like a bitch when I bump it into something....o nly for a couple seconds though, then it goes away. You know how a scab goes away from the edges first? Well, down the middle of the wound is still scabed. the parts where the scab went away is dark purple. I will end up having a dark purple splotch on my leg. For how long, I dont know. The hair around the wound is starting to grow back but it looks like I may have a bald spot on my leg, lol.
Let The wife know that it too late to KMA, lol, it's almost healed.
-
