today was the first day of house hunting.
noreen - my agent - and i saw five place today.
1. the 1950's two level ranch. it had the amount of space inside that i would like. it had a one car garage and a huge yard. but 1950's? no character no charm. and a little out of our price range. huge yard!!!
2. 1895 victorian. well this was more like it. it has three units. two one bedrooms and a studio. small yard. no garage.
garage is so important to me. an in-law suite for dad. studio for me or gio. it's that extra room off the house that can be so cool fix into a new part of the house. no car shall be parked in my garage!!!
3. i don't even know what year the structure was built. the place looked as noreen said like a garage. i want a garage but not as my house.
4. 1890's victorian. super cute first and second level. basement is set up as seperate apartment. ugly! low ceilings no windows it's a dungeon for rent! but the rest of the house had huge closets. there is a garage but the back yard had been cemented into a large sloping parking lot. gio did think this super cool for his rc cars. but that would be the only good aspect of it.
5. early 1900's on firth ct. nasty is the only word for it! there was even a dead fly stuck to the inside of the door jam as we entered....water stained indoor outdoor gray carpet. grungy shower stall. all the walls were dripping some brown fluid. ohhhhhyucky. we didn't go past the first two rooms. fixer upper this was not. oh did i mention that they put vinyl siding up over brick? super yuck!
well tomarrow i am going to see four more properties. i figure that i will probably be looking for atleast three months. finding investment properties takes awhile there are a ton listed right now.... wish me luck!
