Well, the first rule after moving in is that you have to fuck in every room asap.

If you put no money down, you will have the added expense of mortgage insurance.

They are probably starting to do that to keep people from buying more house than they can afford. That is a major reason why the housing market is in the shape that it is.

$20 bucks, dammit. Get your facts straight!

I paid cash, so my closing costs were only $1,015.

My short sale took around 3 months. It would have taken a little less time but the owners had a second mortgage that had to be dealt with. Here"s proof that banks will take just about anything: The owner"s owed the second bank $46k. The bank wanted 10% of that before they would sign off. We...

The painting company I hired this time is doing a great job. They started today and the difference in quality and speed is amazing. My wallet is much lighter, but the job is getting done right this time.

Most banks are getting faster at moving through the short sales. Still, it took a little over three months for me.

It may be paint, but the "professional" I hired fucked it up big time. I would have done worse.

I"m the anti-handyman. If I try to hang a picture, the entire wall will fall down. I can recruit pussy all day long, but if I attempt to hook up a garden hose, the house will explode.

Oh, the joys of home ownership. I closed on my house two weeks ago. All the interior walls were white, so I hired a painter to change the colors. He started on Saturday and still had days of work left on Wednesday. He lied and said it was him and another guy when it was just him. He lied when he...

How can anyone on this forum be desperate for tits when I"m here? My mere existence negates that argument.

Doing that might get her a few more contracts. I KEED, I KEED

Payment delivered. Voted. I don"t suppose you need DD"s to make it in the modeling business, but take it from a guy who knows what women need to do in order to get noticed, and spend some of the $8k on a boob job.

I voted, but I can tell you that you"ll need another offensive from the FOHSS army if you wish to advance further. A marker and one picture will kick off your modeling career quite nicely.

Yeah, it"s amazing. It"s a 3/2/2 in immaculate condition. I believe my area is considered to have the highest foreclosure rate in the country. Here"s a neat tip: go to maps.google.com. Type your city and state in the search box. Click the link for more search options. Select Real Estate from...

Where the heck did you get North Dakota? I"m in Florida.

I close on my house this coming Tuesday. $56,500 turned out to be the final price. Two years ago it appraised for $240k. I still shake my head in amazement.

Hey Curt, Hartsman is available. Scott Hartsman - Off the Record ? Going Out On Top

As far as doing a sci-fi MMO right, I guess we"ll get to see if that can be done when Bioware releases their Star Wars and Cryptic releases Star Trek. I"ll be trying them both to see whether it"s yay or nay.

If there are Rangers in this game, please don"t make them pansy"s. Each time I log into EQ to play my ranger, I feel like I need to put on a pair of pink panties.... ....not that there"s anything wrong with that....

I can"t believe you guys still hit the reply button when Ut posts. I really can"t. Don"t you know what he is?

This is amazing: In my area, the median home price in 2005 was $322,000. Today it is $88,000. Kapow.

True. We "veterans" take for granted that once you play one MMO you can play them all. The true noob has to start somewhere. If you frustrate them early on, they won"t stay long enough to figure out the game is actually fun.

Hell, put the tutorial online via a web page. You could show all the basic stuff in a browser without needing to download a client. You can do some neato advanced stuff in a browser these days.

I absolutely loved Unrest. I leveled there for as long as I could. The zone had so much flavor and different enemies to encounter. You had skeletons, animated hands, undead hags, dwarven ghosts, tentacle terrors...a smorgasbord of neat stuff to whack. To me, every inch of that zone was interesting.

Amen. No more frakking Firebolt 1, Firebolt 2, Firebolt 3 kind of crap. Unique spell names make each one seem more special.

Amen to that. Staring at a hot bar, waiting for the next skill to refresh, quickly becomes boring. I want to see the action, not watch a timer slowly revolve.

Looks like I"ve got a house bought. It sold for $270k two years ago. I"m getting it for $54,900. I may need to pay a little more. Depends on what the owner"s second mortgage holder does. The current owners owe $46k on the second mortgage and that bank wants to get 10% of that back. So now the...

$15k? My advice: hookers and blow.

During the boom, ANY part of SW Florida was highly desirable. The area these particular houses are located is not some fancy area. It"s a normal blue collar area. In normal times, when the market isn"t sky-high or mega-low, it would cost around $150k to build one of these homes from scratch...

You don"t live here, so you don"t know fuck-all about the real estate market here or how bat-shit insane the prices were during the boom period. That house sold brand new for over 300k. The house you describe would have gone for well over 500k minimum. Here"s another example: I used to live...

I got out-bid on the house. This led me to dump my realtor as he kept taking other offers on it. My new realtor quickly found another house for me, nicer than the other one, with oak kitchen cabinets and higher-end appliances. This guy only takes one offer per house. As soon as I made the offer...

Yes, it was. As for the inside stuff, it is upgraded from the basic install. Looks fine to me.

I will save a little over $2k in closing costs by paying cash. Less bullshit paperwork that a bank makes you pay for.

The style is what 99% of Florida houses look like. It"s not in BFE.

I know it sounds crazy, but as I said before, there are hundreds and hundreds of houses priced like this. I just can"t adequately explain how bad the housing market is here. If my offer is accepted, I"ll have all the necessary inspections done before closing. Some pictures... The...

The owner didn"t pay that much off. With a short sale, the seller keeps lowering the price until they start to get offers. The market is so depressed here that it takes a price this low to get an offer. If the seller agrees to the price, then it goes to the bank to see if the bank will take that...

House I looked at today is 1877 sq. ft. under air. 3/2/2/. Two years old and in great shape. Super kitchen with nice appliances. Very nice house with nothing damaged. Short sale asking price: $54,900. It appraised two years ago at $336,000. There are hundreds just like this one. Edit: Oh...

I made an offer on a short sale last week. I"m in SW Florida, where house prices are more depressed than just about anywhere else. Houses are CHEAP AS FUCK right now in my area. Short sales are a pain in the ass, tho. The seller must first agree to the price, then it goes to the bank, which...
