When I was out at the tech day, I mentioned that I had been in the market for 5+ months, looking for a house to buy. I had several criteria, but not sure I mentioned any of them to anyone.

I was looking for a 3+ bed, 2.5+ bath, 2+ car, 2 story, 2K+ sq ft house, built after 1975, and less than $130K. I have been looking off an on for nearly a year, but very seriously for the past 6 months. I finally found my house!

I found a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath (two full baths with tub and shower), oversized 2 car, 2 story, and 2300 sq ft. It was built in '75 (so needs some interior remodeling). I got this place for $40K LESS than my looking-for price!!!

My next 3-4 weeks (July) is going to be me closing on the house, gutting it, redoing all flooring and the paint on the walls (couple dry-wall repairs in there as well), and moving. I'm in my apartment here through the end of this month, but I'll be dual-living.

When I'm all finished, I'd LOVE to host a party for fellow club members. I won't be able to do a tech day here (don't have air tools), but we could do a 'small' tech-type-day if we're only doing in-driveway stuff.

I have a large yard, and a basketball court. I have a large room at the front of the house that needs a pool table or some such, if anyone wants to donate one :P I also have a very large 2nd-story deck, bult for partying

I'm so STOKED about this place. I found it only a week or two after I saw ya'll out at Pauls. I had actually seen this place before, put a bid on it the same day I saw it, and it was already sold. The guy that bid on it lost his job, it went back on the market on a Wednesday, I saw it on Thursday, and there were 4 bids on it on Thursday evening when I put mine in. I actually did something I've never done before (and I've bought several properties) - I bid above the asking price.

The interior needs some remodeling - all new carpet and tile on the way, and paint will go on, but I got an absolutely SICK deal on this place.

Sorry to go on about it - I know, not Mustang related. But I now have a REAL garage, instead of a parking garage, to park my baby in, and a new stall to park another Mustang in In the meantime, my GF's Focus will keep it warm until I get the new stallion

 

ConGrats! I went thru this in 2003 when I built my new house, I was the only one on my block for 7 months and talk about parties we had! Plenty of parking, 4 wheelers everywhere, and no I am down to the empty lot behind my house which is for sale.

 

I have gotten by without air tools for the longest! Don't sweat the air I can still turn a wrench the old fashioned way anytime!

Congrats too it sounds sweet. Where is she located?

 

congrats. although not in the same area. i have been starting to save towards getting a house recently and am exited to read of others purchases. i am just starting to work towards my own first home. cant wait.

 

I might be able to help with the pool table. I have one that I need to get rid of. It's not the greatest but it's in great shape.

 

me likey pool

 

Congratulations Jeremy..... that house is going to be some work, but in the end your saving money and doing it the way you want it done. Great find

 

dad we need to get some land and build us a house... maybe out summer way? hmmm but seriously that would be fun!

 

I close on the place tomorrow morning. Then it's a thrash-fest to get the flooring and walls redone. The kitchen and bathroom remodelings will have to wait (that's going to be a bit more than I'm ready to spend right now, but all are working, just not pimped-out) I can't wait!!!!!

The addy is 2905 140th E Ave, the FAR EAST of Tulsa, over by where the old Eastland Mall was located. There's nothing behind my place, it's all woodland. I have a feeling that BA will back up to my backyard in another 5-10 years.

Gimmie July and a week or so in August to get it fixed, and then we'll have another place to host get togethers.

 

congrats!

 

congratulations!!
