My First House

revhead347 · Apr 5, 2009

I finally bought my first house. Got this one on short sale for $147K in Acworth GA. I finally have my Mustang shop that I've always wanted. It's a 4bedroom, 3 bath, garage space for 4 cars and a car port, 2215 sq ft of living space on 3/4 to 1 Acre.

Mustang House

My Redneck Porch

I'd show pictures of the inside of the house, but it's a mess because we are painting.

Nice man good luck. That would go for about $550k here.

Gearbanger 101 · Apr 5, 2009

Wow....that house and propery would go for an easy $350-$400 where I'm from right now and that's even with the consideration that the bottom has fallen out of the market.

(starts making plans to relocate to GA)

*EDIT*
Its so funny for me, considering where I live to see a garage without insulation or some form of wood, oil, or gas furnace in it.

revhead347 · Apr 5, 2009

The main house obviously has a gas furnace which is located under the main floor. I'm less than a mile from the Lake too.

The market has really bottomed out here around Atlanta. This house sold for $187K two years ago. Don't make plans to relocate. GA sucks. I only live here because it's airline pilot capital of the world, and I don't have the energy to commute.

that is a beautiful house u got there Kurt. congrats and good luck! when you having us all over for drinks? LOL!

Why does GA suck, I have always thought it looked pretty. I paid $143K for 3/4 the space, and 1/2 the garages of yours here in Iowa. Looks like you got a nice deal, congrats on the purchase.

Oh yeah, and I have a much smaller lot...

Beautiful place--congrats!

What the heck are you doing fixing up the inside--that Mustang garage needs lots of work! I don't see a compressor, a welder, near enough tools or tool cabinets...

Where are your priorities?!

Nice place man! I live about 45min up 75 from you in Ringgold. I dont know if I would go as far to say GA suck but I would have to say living and driving everyday in ATL would suck

DAMN!! very nice house for cheap. I just bought one also, but nothing nice like that!

RIO5.0 · Apr 5, 2009

Damn... thats a hella price for what you got... looks like it needs nada for work to boot...

Having private storage for the toy is always nice....

Nice place! Congradulations! I'm EXTREMELY jealous of the garage! I live around the Mall of Ga, so I know how bad traffic sucks, but I like Ga overall.

The farther north you go the better it gets. If I could live anywhere in America it would be around Tricities, TN or in Vermont somewhere. Ringgold looks like a nice area. I have to be honest, I avoid the city whenever possible. Up here in Cherokee County I have everything I need. And the one advantage to my job is only have to drive into the city once a week, and drive out 3 or 4 days later. So that 43 mile commute doesn't bother me too much. I'm HORSEpower on streetcarforums, but I haven't been on there in at least a year. Everyone is a little too preachy for me there.

It's not too bad on the work side. The downside of buying a house on short sale is that it sold "as is." The house needs new carpet bad. Also, if I use the second bath upstairs, it rains in the kitchen. The water had convieniently been shut off the day of the home inspection. I think I can fix that for under $100 though.

LOL. My priorities are making the old lady happy for now. There is a compressor on the floor, and a welder on the other side. You just can't see it in those pictures. I could honestly do with a better tool box, a better air compressor, and a welder stand, but I've been making do with a combination of smaller tool boxes and cabinets for awhile now. I have just about every tool you need to do just about anything to a Mustang.

Depends. Need to get the paint done first at least.
