So, after a little deliberation and some work, I came to the decision to put in an offer on the house on Casco! The house is in great shape inside, with a lot of room for the things I need, as well as some great space for holding get-togethers. The landscape will need some work, there are a large number of trees that I will want removed and a little remodeling I can see wanting, but in all, the house is perfect for me.
The house is a 3 bedroom 2 bath with brick on all sides. One part appears to be an addition that is actually hardy-plank. New carpets, cabinets, kitchen, appliances, and other stuff. There is a large fireside family room that is just awesome. There is a finished basement with a lot of unfinished space for storage.
I had my agent put in an offer, but one thing no one happened to mention to me is that I needed to be able to get a check in the hands of the seller for earnest right away, and all the money I have for the house is in a savings account. Because of that it will take days to get the money anywhere I can get a check. Luckily my parents were willing to front me money while I do this.
After work I have to run to my parent's to pick up the check and then back out to the realtor to pass it along. Don't know if my offer was accepted yet, but having the money at the ready is important for this, and any future endeavor if this offer doesn't go through.
