Nice. I was able to get a loan through WV's equivalent VHDA..so basically I'm paying less than 200$ over my rent.
The story behind this house, best I can figure, is that it was under contract - and the builder had hand money to build it. The buyer backed out for whatever reason, so the builder took that hand money right off the top. All the other houses in the neighborhood under contract are closer to 300k..according to the realtor. I jumped on it like an hour after it was listed, and its a good thing. I looked at Ryan Townhouses..and could've gotten one in closer for the same price..but i said fuck it, i'll drive 20 more minutes and get a bigger SFH for less money.
Wish me luck..go to inspect tomorrow, and put the contract to it, assuming the realtor or builder havent fucked me over since this afternoon and sold it out from under me. About an hour after I got my approval, apparently some people buying another house in the neighborhood found otu about it, and tried to change to this one, but I'm supposedly first in line.
edit: I'm with ya on the flooring and countertops...some nice dark granite in this house, and tile floors will really set the kitchen off. ALso - theres no deck, as you can see. still deciding whether I want to do like a cobblestone patio, or build a deck.
