the unit isnt ready yet.

there was a fire two floors below it, its a two story with apartments in the basement (weird) back in august. they just got the $$ from insurance and started the renovations.

I got to see everything thats going in and how its going to look on the realtors laptop. I'll try to get those pics, but I probably can take pics when its finished and i inspect it.

Just make sure you do a thorough walk through and I'd probably get an inspection done if work is being done on it (especially since you've closed already???).

Congrats! :thumbsup: It's not bad. It may be tight the first few months, but hopefully you didn't buy more house than you can afford.

I am in the process of purchasing my first home. I close at the end of the month. Now is the time where fear and anxiety has taken over. Was I ready? Should I have waited?

Mine is a 3br 1.5ba for $63000.
