No. We put an offer on a house in LIverpool in Sept but after the inspection we backed out. Probably needed a roof in 3 years and definitely needed chimney work now. That was just the big items.
Augie Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Kirby, how goes the process? I hope you gave everything plenty of time during the holiday season....when very little happens. Hoping it’s smooth so far, and you have plenty of time for everything! I got out of banking because I enjoyed real estate so much (my parents were with a developer when I was a kid), and for some reason I’m strangely excited about this. Nice house.

Had the inspection on Wednesday. There were some items that needed to be finished but nothing major. We asked them to complete all of it because it’s new construction. My realtor said a lot of these things wouldn’t be asked for on an older house but since it’s new we will ask for all of it. We are still on schedule to close on the 18th. 3 1

RocCityRoller Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 good luck kirby, I'm in the market now. 1
JohnC Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Kirby, Congratulations. I hope you don't think that I am prying but I'm curious about your insurance. In your area is your flood insurance bought through a private insurer or is it bought through a government flood insurance program? In New Orleans is there a flood zone or is the region considered a flood zone? Good luck with the house. And don't forget that you were born a Yankee so don't let the Confederates get away with harassing you. ? 1

My neighborhood was hit pretty hard during Katrina but a lot has changed there since. All flood insurance is through the NFIP. I think that it ends up being like $50 a month.

I love owning a home. I had my roof done after thirty years with no leaks. Now, a year and a half later, I just noticed water dripping down the front of the fireplace chimney. On Wednesday I will be calling the roofer. Let the games begin! 1

Kirb will get the first $75k in value tax free with the homestead exemption but we’re talking like $2k not $200 (real bar-napkin is pull the $75k if you get the exemption then it’s 1% ish) the table he was referencing reflected a $15k valuation What's the homestead credit y'all get?
