Congrats! Great little house there. Some yardwork and your new place will have curb appeal. Time has come to roll up your sleeves, mate.

Bredayaris · 02-15-2009, 04:28 PM

Nice house and congrats off course!

Are those Aus Dollars?
It's in euros 136,500.
My appartment is for sale at 185,000 euros thats 359000 Australian dollar for 80 m².

In my area i'm looking for a house with a garage wich starts in the cheapest parts of Breda from 582000 Aus dollar.

But that's nog interesting.
I hope you enjoy living in your nice new house anyway!

Hmmm, hardwork and me are like oil and water, we don't mix

The front is a bit of a jungle, will get someone in to adjust it.

Seeing as you've paid yours off, you might be missing that 30 year mortgage, want to make payments on mine?

Tip: Remember to put a bit extra away each month (maybe the difference between rent and now mortgage) to cover unexpected repairs that would have been covered by a landlord before. Like hot water heater, stove, heating/air stuff, etc.

Yup, will start a savings account. Can't wait to put our wedding photos up, been in storage for over two years!

Good deal mate! Congrats!

bobselectric · 02-15-2009, 08:37 PM

Excellent buddy! Nice looking place and my advice is to do some stuff yourself, Can't beat the sense of accomplishment for a project well done. Probably save some $$ too.

Another way to save a little more is to pay down your principle each month. One extra payment a year, earmarked towards the principle only, cuts 7 to 8 years off the length of the loan

The rent where we are at the moment is higher than the mortgage we will have, so we'll just keep paying the same amount and pay the mortgage off sooner.

WILL start? normally, the process goes save money THEN buy a house, not the other way around.

Congrats on the house though!

We had our savings in an "high interest savings account", i had a decent deposit. What i meant by "we'll start a savings account" is we'll put a little aside incase the hot water system or something else blows up.
