buying a house right beside his parents

Well .... I think we'll be fine. We're not "right next door", so to speak. We are across the street ..... kind of diagonally positioned. I never imagined I'd move this close to my family .... but we can't really pass this up. Real estate is really cheap in our area. The house was listed at $135K. We settled at $71K. We knew the people that moved out .... and they're in an extreme hurry to sell ..... so they called us up to ask .... & now we're getting it. The awesome part is now I don't have to mess around in the driveway when working on my vehicles. I can just go across the street & use my dad's garage w/ lift. It's also on plenty of land ..... so I'm gonna eventually build my own garage anyway.

sounds like sweet deal, man. that's quite a bit of money to save! i would've jumped at it, too. just gotta make sure the "line" is set and that you two get your space/privacy. congrats on teh house...can't wait 'til i get my own. paying rent sucks!!!
