Is it possible to also have some of the guys that you work with go with you to see the house?
I'm starting to get excited for you. I just don't want you to get stuck with a fixer upper. I had the money for renovations, even though I had to apply for a home equity loan, then had to re-fi with a cash out. I can know get more then double the price I paid for mine.
If you can get some of your work buddies to go out and take a look, see if you can esp get the electrician, and a plumber. Is the outside of the house wood or vinyl?
I have a raised ranch log cabin, if I can give you any help or tips, let me know.
