I just made this as a blog post, but I would like to post it here to to see what you guys think. Story with pictures .. then questions.
So I went out last night to look at a place that my boss recommended me look at. I was planning on moving out by the end of this year, probably and apartment and something just big enough for me. The place my boss suggested is a rental house. It's like the size of a small apartment, but it's a standalone .. little house.
Pluses
+ Ground Level
+ Affordable
+ Space for a washer and dryer
+ Big enough for me and my stuff
+ No yard work
+ Nice Landlord (Cool enough guy, and he is willing to take me . and my snakes.
+ NO NEIGHBORS! (Well, the apartment kind. I still have neighbors, but they are neither above nor below me ... and not directly next to me)
Negatives
- Not exactly great timing
- Not up to my "High Class" taste
- Needs paint
The place is almost perfect for me. It is a shack though. I mean, it's not like third world, but it's very un assuming from the outside. I kinda like that though. And, I think is this cas ethe positive far outweigh the negatives.
Plus, I could name it the "Bachelor ShacK" with funky lettering and everything! I have emailed the owner a couple of times now, and I think I am going to just go for it. He is willing to work with me on the timing thing also, so I can make this work .. I think.
PICTURES!
QUESTIONS!
How important are looks and features of the actual house to you?
Do the pluses in my case out weigh the negatives?
Thoughts?
