House Buying...
Last night I officially started the process of buying a house, and oddly it's really not that exciting, but I figured I needed to write about it, if for no other reason than I'm not writing enough these days.
We started looking at these places back in February and instantly felt they were prefect. They're condo's which means all the outside maintenance is already handled, and they include a separate suite that comes with a 2nd fridge and stove ready to rent out as an additional income source, so right there half my mortgage payment can be handled by a renter. In a nutshell that means that I can have a three bedroom place for only a couple hundred a-month more than what I'm paying for my one-bedroom apartment, so not impacting our high-rolling lifestyle too much.
Interestingly the property developer is a long time family friend and the realtor is his son, I used to go over to their place as a kid and hang out, but I've not been in contact with the family since before high school, so the talks up to this point are often interrupted by periodic sessions of reminiscence. Tash and I really like our realtor, he's young and has a sense of humor along with being very knowledgable and professional. Plus he's kinda the new kid on the block in the Realty scene here in town because most of his work prior to this year was down south in Vancouver which was a way more competitive market. He really wants to shake things up around here, and being that Tash helps run a Love boutique in a conservative farm town, we can relate to doing a little shaking up.
So after Tash and I saw these condo's and loved them, we talked to the banks which approved us for a mortgage so easily that we were left with the distinct impression that they were peeved we waited so long. But we decided to look about before making any commitments so we made arrangements to look at other houses that were being listed so to do our due diligence. Also we liked hanging out with our realtor and making jokes about people's tacky decorating. And when else are you going to be able to kick people out of their homes to make fun of their tacky decorating I ask?
(Don't look at me like that! When you walk into a home that someone is trying to sell for $200,000 and it smells like marijuana and cat piss it's much better form to make jokes and walk out in disgust, than just walk out in disgust.)
But alas the property viewing stage came to an end and a sneaky property manager-type was snapping up all the condo's that were just finished, but we had a shot at ones that were still being built due to be done next fall. There were simply no places on the market that even came close to the economic sense and appeal these ones have so we jumped on them and got things signed last night. That doesn't mean the place is ours yet, there's a lot that can happen between now and this fall, but I intend to complete the sale, and things look keen.

it's october!!
where the hell have you been?
Time-warped??
The house got delayed and delayed and delayed again, so now if we do purchase this one it looks like April we'll complete sale which would be fine with me in a lot of ways.
So you are dumping the vox blog?
and it took a year to get your house....
sounds about right in a world were duelling has been outlawed as a mode of dispute resolution.
Fuck i'd bring it back in a flash!
Do I get to see your rpg?
(rest assured if I do I will eat my PC before ever allowing an illegal pirate copy to flow out of my system to the net)
I'm not going to trash this blog, but I probably won't be updating it on this side much anymore. I've made a lot of blogger friends over Twitter and through the RPG Blogger's Network who don't use Vox, and Vox just has too much of a barrier to entry of commenting for outsiders.
twitter...
I HATE twitter.
who the fuck wants updates on their PHONES from strangers...it's creepy and needy and wrong.
I'm moving house right now so in a week or two I'll probably surface again...
The fun in Twitter is communicating something relevant and brief and enjoying the wit of working in those restrictions. Getting a chance to keep up with and communicate with people you admire professionally is another big appeal. Amusingly you'd be fucking awesome at Twitter and I know that sounds like being the king of shit mountain right now, but you like talking with people and Twitter is just another way to talk is all.
Ummm...I have an account...but I think it just has about 12 whores following me a couple of property spam kings and about 3 people that joined when i did then never again used it.
And I think about 2 stalker females.
So yeah....
Maybe i should look into it but not really sure I have the time right now...sooon though...very sooon....like 2010 I think I should have all the time I need to figure all this crap out AND take over the world...
140 characters though....I will be limited to poisonous haikus....
Hmm... off the top of my head....
Tweet that you're going out and put enough details so they can piece together where. BUT don't put where you're going, but where Ninja Maid is going instead, so she can put the smack down on them while you film it.
*sigh* I wish I had a ninja maid. Though it's probably for the best that I don't.
My ninja maid is hot indeed.
I will have to investigate this culture of hiring hot female assassins to do my dirty work....it's a fine idea...
