I did it! I bought a place!

[Andrew B.]

Well Since I was 16 I've been on these forums, and my dream was to own a place and get into REI, I met a huge goal today!! I havent been on the forums for a while, I've been really busy. Last time I was on here I was applying for a mortgage a couple months ago!

Well anyways I bought a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo yesterday for my personal residence! I'm 21 and have been renting for 3 years so I thought I'd spend 200 bucks a month extra and get into the game!

Details:
Asking price $235,900 just reduced from 242,000
I was expecting to get it for 226 or 227 since the market here is really hot and me and my realtor looked at 14 properties, 12 were sold before we even got to the showings!

I offered $220,000, they came back with $225,000 (and they were mad) I countered with $222,000 and my realtor told there realtor I was firm and they accepted!

Its a topfloor built in 2005 , 2 bedroom 2 bath, underground parking, 2 parking stalls , natural gas hook up for bbq, amazing city view! Im jumping up and down! Possession date is June 29th!

Buying is so easy, and way less stressful then I thought, now I have my personal residence I can move onto investment properties in a few years and wont have much fear!

Pics to come when I move in!
