Closed 9/30. Here's a MLS photo...I haven't gotten around to taking pictures yet. It's nice and comfy so far. The garage is filled with our crap (using it as a staging area), but other than that, it didn't take long to get the place in order.
Home ownership = learn to love Lowe's. lol. I've already dropped a grand in that place (the washer died, new grill, etc.). I picked up an arbor pole/saw to trim the branches close to the house. That thing was pretty cool to tinker with.

You are going to need a leaf blower, and not a wimpy one. Congrats, it looks great.

Congrats! Where in Va are you? Looks like you either have a very tall ceiling in the garage or a huge attic above it. Very nice.
edit: If that were mine I'd already be smelling the scent of a master bedroom suite addition above the garage.

I think a lift would be a nice touch someday.

hey guys, so its tax time. and I'm seeing reports that I can deduct my closing costs somehow. is this true? (I paid the entire amount myself). I would really appreciate any input. I've looked online and am finding conflicting information. I sure as hell would love to be able to! thanks in advance.

Yes, I remember claiming closing costs, even though they were paid buy someone else. I recommend, using TurboTax.

thanks, I just tried using Turbotax and there was nothing in it about closing costs. I must have missed it? I don't know. I think I am going to ask an accountant, I want to make sure I am getting everything I can.

yeah thats what it suggested to me. does it actually say 'closing costs' somewhere? all I saw was mortgage interest, mortgage insurance, and maybe one other thing.

It will walk you through your taxes almost step for step, closing costs is a question it should ask you.
