30 Something Baby Doc

The closing went well. The sellers were pleasant. I guess his ex-wife was keeping him in line. I sign a million documents. The sellers agent informed me that there were several backup offers on the home. Well at least I know if it doesn't work out, I'll likely be able to unload this house quickly . My realtor informed me she had several individuals she represent that would purchase the house quickly, but she also indicated she would make the asking price almost 100k more that what I purchased it for. So I guess I got a good deal. She hates the word "deal" when home buying is concerned. The seller also expressed an interest in my condo. I think he's livin in an apartment now.

The place is very nice, I was worried about the previous male owner being a smoker, but there was no noticable smoke residue in the home. The hardwood floors are in great condition. My next big projects are replacing the carpet and tearing down some ugly wall paper in the dining room and painting a few designated rooms. I'm gonna go neutral with the paint. The windows have a nice interior wood trim that provides great contrast.

I need my Mommy!!!!

OBTW the big question . The basement is unfinished, should I put a pool table in the living room??????? Or should I turn the living room into the traditional artsy foo foo room that no one ever sits in?
