We dont really factor credit ratings into house purchases. We just use it to see if u r a dead beat and have had collections or declared bankruptcy. Only thing that really matters is steady income and good tdsr and gdsr numbers.

 

its like evergreen right now. big houses, but since it way in the butt-**** middle of nowhere its cheap. give it 5-10 years and the houses will be worth ALOT of money, due to calgary expanding and developing in that area. plus its right beside fish creek

 

If I can recommend one thing I would recommend going to a detached home. I know 5 people that went that step and all sold within 2 years. The walls are not done properly and u will hear your neighbors and everything they do. I know your out of town lots but when your home u want to enjoy it

 

good to hear the perspective of someone on the other end of things

I don't buy this BS.

one thing that is forgotten = commute time

local really does affect value more than some people realise it...

I like something a little more central... heck even Midnapore (or as it's now called: midna-poverty) is a neighbor hood I would have liked to move back into - but with the traffic getting as bad as it has over the last decade plus, I'm pleased as punch that I'm in Riverbend...
(I pretty much grew up in midnapore, and attended midnapore elementary all the way through)

 

in 5-10 years it will be centralish

 

Yes and no. The upscale townhouses are built good. However if u get a shitty neighbor u can hear them. But then again u can hear them in a detached as well. I never once heard my neighbors in lethbridge in our townhouse condo thing. But I know they could hear me. But I'm also in a detached now and i know my neighbors can still hear me lol.

In summary. Dont live next to me as I'm a loud/shitty neighbor lol

 

so you're saying that it will get closer to down town than it is now??

think about what you just wrote...

Midnapore is no more "centralish" than it was when I was attending Beaverbrook in the fall of 1994.

look at real estate prices, the more central, the more $$;
the typical trade offs as far as equal prices go are the more central house is worth about the same as a house further from downtown, that just happens to be larger square footage...

 

thanks for speaking up;

sometimes I feel like the lone man banging his drum off in the corner...

 

BEST POST OF THE DAY!!

 

the hospital is scheduled to be done this fall I believe, or next fall. either way having a place next to a hospital is never a bad thing.

As for the walls thing, I'm usually not home alot. not just for work. it's something to get me started in make some money in a few years then maybe buy a house and do the same thing again. might just go buy an acreage back home after I sell the townhouse. I'm not sure yet

 

i meant it as the city will grow around it, so there would be alot of things around it as well.

 

people thought this about Mckenzie in the late 80's & early 90's... but it's still in the middle of nowhere.
(and you have no choice except for traffic on deerfoot for your commute!)



my brother is with the calgary health region;
it is most certainly NOT going to be done this fall.
iirc the hospital is going to be opening one section at a time, with only limited services for the first number of years...

 

The most amazing thing about townhouses and condos is they have a trash bin. You never have to deal with garbage pickup days. I loved just walking to the bin tossing it in and that was it. No storing trash and dragging it to the curb. That was the worst.

 

i hated condo living, i will buy a condo again some day but it will be in vegas or bc somewhere haha

 

lazy......

i do it every thursday night. with our bins its easy

 

the bins is easy, just remembering to fill them is a pain. I came from the farm where we burned everything in a barrel. now I gotta recycle cardboard and plastic and all that crap! lol I hate it!

 

if you're bachin' it by yourself you can really just use the black bin for all that crap

I don't even put my bins out every week... or in the case of now ~ going on two weeks

 

my house usually fills a recycle bin in 2 weeks and the black one every 1 1/2 weeks

 

depends on how many parts and stuff I get shipped up from the states! lol some months I fill it before monday and some it doesn't get filled at all! lol

 

 

good on you!

My dad & step mom can fill thiers (winnipeg only does the black bins right now) in a day...
yup, kinda wasteful...
they roll their eyes at me collecting their pop cans while I visit.

 

i get paid friday

i need to start cooking more often and making meals.

 

I say skip eating all together...

just call it "fasting"...

much, much easier on your pocket book...
(which in turn means you can afford to buy gas, or the next car part!)

 

ahhh but i dont pay for the food! so i can make whatever i want.

and i hate being hungry. worst feeling ever

 

All i've eaten since Friday is a very small dinner..
