Chow Down Wide Load

That's the plan for today. We are going to go to BW3's and eat a ton of wings with the gang tonight. We are going to just get together as the bmx season is done and have a good time. We had a fun time at the track and want to get together a few times until the race season starts and the kids all see each other again. Looking forward to eating wings and drinking a few beers. No ride today s I do need to take a day off the bike.

Well we haven't heard anything about the house so I'm beginning to think that the other offer may go through so we may have to keep our eye's peeled for another house. That's ok as we need to get a few things in order also so it would be a smooth thing not a wham bam thing. So we are just going to keep it in stride and do what ever goes. We can still build one and have the 1st offer to purchase on a few others in the area where the other on was. Will wait and see I guess. Well have to go. Later..

We found both of our properies by driving around the areas we were interested in. People put up for sale by owner signs and we had a signed offer to purchase in hand before the Sunday paper came out. The guy that sold us our house said he took his sign down but had 30 people ring his doorbell on Sunday. Too late :)

I was just walking down the drive and the seller said, oh what the heck...a bird in hand...lets do it.

You have the best house shopping months ahead of you.

No rush. You do your homework and check out lots of places and you will absolutely know when you have found the right place. It will be a no brainer.

Always give yourself and out on all offers to purchase. Also keep a short time frame on your offers and tell them you have a couple places you are interested in. Realtors love to get an early offer because they can just sit on it and use it as a negotiating tool with others.

Also try to always deal with the listing agent on the property. If you work directly with them they don't have to split the commission with another realtor. The listing agent may find more things to like about your offer!

You are getting too fast Jay. You should definitelly double down on the wings and beer and take time off the bike. Good plan. Last year you overtrained and it made my legs hurt.
