Yeah, seller's market. We've only been looking for like a week. I think the buying/ remodel is going to be a last resort. There are a few houses that are reasonably priced that need flooring changed.
And yeah, i work in flooring. Can get painters and drywallers pretty cheap also.

House has some personality and god awful green carpet. We need to take out the carpet, replace some ceramic and some laminate wood with some better stuff. Need to paint a lot, but we got the place at like 20k under every house in the neighborhood. Probably 15k worth of remodeling.
4br, 2.5 bath. His and hers walk in closets in the master. 2500 sq ft. 31x24.. maybe 31x21 living room. Big enough back yard to add a pool in the future. 3 car garage and a heavy duty 3 car wide carport.
Debating on doing a video tour, but I also don't want to post it if I make one without Daisy's consent. I'm not sure what kinda plans she has, or what she wants people to see before remodeling. Women amirite
Yes, home insurance can be rolled in to escrow account and thus be included in your monthly payment along with property tax. You will still need to find an insurer and forward that info to your lending company. Typically, having your car and house insurance with same company will give you some discounts so you might have to do comparisons on the total premium.
I would also start getting all your financial info lined up (proof of income, proof of funds for downpayment, etc...)
You want to move fast because you don't want the loan to get approved too late and miss your closing date.
Loans take a bit of time due to appraisal from lender, underwriting,etc...
Also, don't open up any credit cards and don't make any big purchases until after your closing. Same thing with large deposits. So if you bink a poker tourney or something, wait until after the closing to deposit.

I am having the boner, now.
Nice.
Sounds like an amazing first house.
How big is the nursery?
Played Poker live in my 2 weeks vacation maybe 3 times. Net about +3.5 BI's. I felt rusty the first session, but by the 3rd session, i was back in soul reading mode. Felt sharp, felt nice.
Just so tough to play during the week with a full time job. I require a lot of sleep, apparently.
