This is really something I didn't think would quite this soon. I went down to Lincoln last friday with my parents to look at a few houses, just trying to get an idea what to expect, and I ended up making an offer on one. The offer was accepted the night before last, so I'm working with my mortgage guy on getting everything rolling real quick-like. I wanted to close June 1-ish, but the only way I could get them to accept was if i moved that up a month. So, as of May 2, I'm a homeowner!
The house is a nice little 2-bedroom with an attached, totally finished, 2-car garage. The bathroom is huge and has a skylight and a shower you could fit probably 9 people in. It's totally ridiculous. The house was originally built in 1992 for a guy that used a wheelchair, so it's pretty open and the doors are pretty wide, which I like.
Anywho... here are a couple of pictures.
I don't think I'll move in until June or July, but I need to start collecting furniture and things. I don't have any big plans for it yet, just to make it look good and be comfortable. Right now everything is really boring... white walls, old people furniture... boring.
Originally I was looking at some houses from 1910 and 1920. The ones that I liked were 4 bedrooms, 2 floors, plus basements, and had wood floors everywhere. In one of the older houses, there was even a pit in the garage. I liked 'em both, but i'm not sure I could've kept up with maintenence.
Anywho... Any pelicans that find themselves in Nebraska are welcome to stop by
