[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3211378, member: 43724"] When you find a house, talk to the neighbors. Nothing like moving in and finding out your next door neighbor is a crack head, or worse a Democrat (j/k for the few Dem minded folks here). Also, once you do buy the house, fill out the homestead paperwork. From my own experience, don't accept too many flaws in a house. I bought one as a fixer upper in 2010, 2 years later dropped almost 10k in HVAC and last year dropped another 5k in piers. We've not been able to do much inside because of this. If its a solid slab house, older than 20 years and has not been piered yet, I would be wary. If it has a crawlspace, make sure the pipes have been insulated. And always, always, always get a two car garage. [/QUOTE]
