Hey Massassi, have a nice day!

I'm happy to be rid of the Trump thread and to get the politics posts off the forums. I'd rather talk about Jedi Knight. .. Although I don't have anything to say about Jedi Knight.

Oh yeah, it's totally the time for the sequel to this:

As for the house we're planning to buy it finished from a flipper, the advantage is he is willing to lock us into a price and keep it off the market. Currently most homes go $50k-$100k over asking price on bids. I'm thinking about doing a 5 year plan to fix up the yard, add a concrete driveway and garage and see if I can sell for something better, but we'll see what happens.

You should update us when you get the house, 5 years seems less of flipper and more of an actual commitment assuming you are staying at that place? In a year, the currently hot market would probably different but in five it might be up again, maybe. Still trying to close on my place...

The saberopium must flow.

I signed the contract for the house last Tuesday, so things are picking up pace with the renovation.

The reason I'm aiming for a 5 year plan is that it should be enough time to generate the finances to lay in a concrete driveway and build a 2 car garage. My wife and I have 2 of the 3 kids we're planning on having,
and the idea is we'll try for the 3rd in a year or two and then have some time to settle before we think about going anywhere else.

I meant I was glad people weren't talking about politics here anymore, not that I was going to try to purge all political threads (or even that on in particular). I'm not planning on deleting anything.

Sounds like something a free speech hating liberal would say 😏
