Freaking out!
I signed a purchase agreement on a house today. Oh my god. What the hell am I doing? No, I am excited but its a really big step. I'm guessing we won't hear back from the seller until late next week which is ok because my realtor is going out of town for the week. If the offer is excepted I will have 7 days to get an inspection, contractor bids and then I have to decide if I want to go forward with the purchase. Did I mention that it's a fixer upper? Oh ya. Part of the offer is for the seller to put $5000 in escrow for repairs. I am also borrowing an additional $5000 for repairs. Hopefully I'll be able to get the basic necessities done for under $10,000. Furnace and water heater bids came in at just under $10,000 but I'm going to get some other bids. It will still need a lot of work - but will be a work in progress. I have to learn to be patient and do a little at a time. So... Don't be surprised if I hit y'all up for various home repair help! I will post updates.
