No. 9



I wrote yesterday about how I was rejected on offer number 9 because it was an FHA offer. Here's a look at the house. Once again, this wasn't my dream house. I liked the back yard (though the green weeds pictures are now a straw brown). It was done in a tudor style with a bit of an identity crisis, mainly due to the spanish tile roof. I'm not a big fan of tudor architecutre. Outside of Disneyland or the 16th centruy it just comes off as fake to me - but I'm sure my love of little bungalows seems provential to others.


The house did have two full bathrooms with a cute little master's suite. Tin foil use to cover the windows and for the sake of not jumping to conclusions I'm not going to speculate on the reason for the tin foil on the windows. This house was attached at the garage to the neighbors which is pretty typical of many of the houses I've looked at as well. The garage was one of the biggest ones I've seen and suprisingly enough it did not have an unpermited conversion (imagine that!). So many of the houses I've looked at have had unpermited garage conversions of funky sheds in the back that appeared to house more than just gardening tools.


I would have redone all of the flooring, defintely gotten new cabinets and probably just re-setup the configuration of the kitchen sooner or later, eventually I would re-do the bathrooms, and like most of the houses I saw I would need to put in double-paned windows. There were some termite problems (in my unprofessional opinion), but I was hoping it wasn't too widespread and that maybe the bank woud allow us to fix a few areas before inspection.


Unfortunately, this house has gone to someone else. Hopefully it will be their home and hopefully they will be very happy their.
