A Very Stixx Like Thread: By WT

[WT]

Hey Kids,

So, to make a long story short, I purchased a house, I moved, and I've had no internet to speak of for some time. Well, I'm home now, and it was time to check in with my Aliit.

What's new in your world?

[GT]

How did you manage to swing a house? Weren't you bouncing from job to job?

[WT]

I've been a steady gas station attendant for a little over two years now, and I make alright money.

Also, I purchased it with my brother. Who is also a gas station attendant. But he's got super credit for some reason.

[Tucho]

purchased a house? pix plz

[GT]

Is that Drew McIntyre in your av fondling a sword?

[WT]

It IS Drew Mcintyre. He was my Royal Rumble entrant. That's about the last time I was around.

I'll get a pic of my house as soon as I find the box with my camera in it.

[GT]

Google street view, nigga.

[Hun]

Glad things went well and glad you're back. Congrats on the house.

Some sexy tales now, ta.

[Guapo77]

you bought a house from gas attendant money?

impressive

[WT]

Alright, here's the best Street View I could get. I've got lots of trees that block the shot:



It's basically a crap box from the outside, but I've done a lot of work to make indoors better.

I don't know about any sexy tales. Remember the front page story I wrote? That was the last time I got laid. I saw that girl maybe four times after that and then she fell off the face of the earth. I guess I was a poorly researched booty call.

The economy is shit. If you even have marginal credit the bank will give you money to buy a house at a decent interest rate. My brother made all his car payments on time, so our combined credit got us the hundred thou at 5%, and we purchased the house. I'm paying about 300 a month plus utilities. That's less than half of what I make, so I'm doing pretty well. It's also about fifty dollars less than I was gonna pay to rent an apartment with two roomies.

The house was only $100,000?

It must need a ton of work I would suspect. Is the area nice?

[Osiris]

You are aware that he lives in Kansas right?

[WT]

It's a great area, the neighbors are awesome, and yeah it will need some work. We had to put down new carpet/Laminate Floors in pretty much every room, and I knocked out a couple of superfluous closets. Then a little paint and it's looking rather spiffy. When it warms up a little we're gonna get a power washer and spray the old paint off the house, then start fresh. When the taxes get back with the 8000 home buyers credit, we're thinking about putting on a deck.

[Guapo77]

That $8000 tax credit was awesome, it was like FREE MONEY

[NippleAppleCrap]

Congrats WT!

[Simon Mac]

GO WT!

Also stick with hardwood floors, looks better.

[Osiris]

You should probably put up some windchimes asap btw fyi.

In Kansas 100K is probably a pretty good house. A friend of mine was showing me what he was putting a 65K offer on in Oklahoma and it would probably run 3x that in a suburb of a major city.

[Guapo77]

yeah I guess I'm just used to my Metro area inflated prices

You won't find a decent house in a decent area for under 300k
