Big-R's Man Cave

Good deal Ronnie. When you going to invite everyone over?

It is a great place and has potential. I checked it out last week. What about the weight rating on the neighborhood bridge? Can you get your trailer in?

Congrats on the new house....

Freggin sweet!!! Thats where im stuck right now. Im moving and my mom is trying to tell me to buy land and build. But correct me if im wrong the way the market is right now is it not better to find a great deal on a house for sale with land? By the way im jealous of all yalls guys garages. So my relator looked funny at me the other day when i said I dont want it unless it has a separated large shop!!

Not sure if I can get the trailer in or not. I don't think it is going to be a problem. The bridge has to hold some weight. They built those house back there some how. I doubt they carried it one board at a time....

Matt, it all depends. If you can find a house in short sale or a foreclosure. If not then you can build what you want for a decent market price.

hummm tempting... I gotta restart the house hunt when i get back home. Being gone for 3 weeks kind of puts everything on hold for a bit.

Matt,

You may want to check out this site. It lists all the Fannie Mae foreclosures that are on the market, and is constantly changing.

http://www.homepath.com/

You can sign up for email alerts, also. Freddie Mac has a similar site, with far less info, and not nearly as many properties.

The one I found was bank owned, and I found it through the online MLS. (picked up by Realtor.com ) I'd put a bid in earlier on a Fannie Mae one, but lost it during the "best and final" round...

Ima check that out thanks kent!!! But not meaning to hijack ronies thread!! Haha I think he needs to have a southernsxs party!

SO the prices listed on this site... are they the current offer or the asking price?

Asking price. If there's no contract put on them in 2-4 weeks, they'll usually reduce the price. Not always, but that seems to be the general trend. Note also that the "asking price" is what FHA has already appraised it for, and they'll loan that amount (less the down payment) without requiring a further appraisal..

Remember, though that these are "as is" properties, though some (most?) are available with a renovation mortgage that allows you to do minor repairs (not to exceed $30K or something) and wrap it all into your first mortgage...

Can't wait to make a razor dirt track

Hum..... Not a bad idea...

The creeks around that area look like they would be fun to ride in, but you know there are some local government Regulators that monitor that stuff. Lets do it anyways.

Well if he shows up while we are riding we might have to shoot him....... Hell that would make for a very short ride.....

Nice bro!

So......  After two years of living in the new house I finally get around to the man cave.....   

Two weeks ago I framed up the inside to get it ready for electric.  The garage is wired and ready for power.  I dug the line from the house to the Ban today.  Almost there!!!!

Nice
