Bought my first house yesterday
Closed on my house yesterday and took immediate possession. Girlfriend and I are pretty excited to finally own a home instead of renting but got a lot of work to do before Christmas with sanding and painting here's the before pictures of the home though from yesterday before we started ripping out carpet and refinishing the floors. Eventually this will turn into my game room post of redoing it Which is going to be the room with the red fireplace but for now just a renovation post. Now for the picture album width="480" height="360" src="http://s932.photobucket.com/user/cgfeelit/embed/slideshow/house">>

Great time to have bought before interest rates went up any more. They were as low as 3.29% a few months ago and between Brexit and the election rates are now close to 4%. Feds will likely raise rates this month so we may not see rates dropping back down to the historic lows we have seen in recent times.
Enjoy your first Christmas in your first home! Place looks amazing!
Very excited for you!
When you said you paid 125k for 3300 sq fr though I almost threw up. I need to grt the hell out of the bay area.
Congrats man!

Welcome to the money pit, my friend. Hopefully your plumbing works, because I had a clog in the main when I first got the house...cost me $1500.
Congrats man!

I know I seen your post when you bought your house and I was thinking holy hell glad we don't live there. We kinda lucked into this one it was listed for 2 days before we made our offer and the prior owners were in a divorce process so I think they wanted to just be done and that's why they accepted our offer because a couple other houses that we looked at that were much smaller and not as good of shape would go on the market and be pending within the week. Also your an electrician correct? Is it cool if I pm you some questions about a couple things and see what you think the best route to go is

If I did'nt have family here in Cali I would be long gone. Cost of living here is just rediculous.
Congrat's OP on the house!!
Congrats man. Looks like a fantastic home. That stairwell is spectacular!
