Congrats man! I bought a house in 2002 for $167k, the equity over the years has made it worth $292k. (I had it appraised last summer for that) Anyway, enjoy your new home, it's a great investment!!!

 

tha samsung 61" 1080p DLP is the ****.... im looking at the 56" or 50" myself....... I highly reccommend it....... best buy has 3 years no interest right now

 

yeah im on the edge of tolleson and avondale literally 3 blocks apart

 

Congrats on the house!!! 93rd and lower buckeye is right down the street from us...93rd and McDowell!!! I can't wait to one day have a house...but I love my apartment!!!

 

thats awesome I thought I was gonna be alone. Every weekend I head out there and look around to see whats there and I never see other ss/sc's and the car is like an alien out there getting all the looks and stares I love it.

 

well welcome to the west

don't have an SS/SC but 107th & van buren here...

 

I remember when I was in high school (freshman year mostly) my buddies and I would drive down the street checkin out all the ladies of the night and watching the fights. funny stuff

 

Congrats, man. I can tell it's your first house. I just bought my first home in Sept. It's very exciting, and you may find that upgrading the house is MORE addicting than the car! That's a decent price for that house. Where's it at, and what upgrades did you order?

 

upgrades like stagger cabinets, a lazy susan cus the gf thought it was cool a clean steel appliance upgrade for the kitchen, full 5.1 pre installed surround wiring, upgraded carpet, security system with wireless sensor capabilities for every single window, upgraded door knobs, upgraded shower setup (glass shower with half wall seperating a seperate bath tub all done in cultured marble.) washer dryer upgraded to energy saving front loaders, pre-wires for ceiling fans in each room, pre wire for cable in the computer/guest room, coach lights for the garage and i'm sure i'm missing something but that all I can remember.

I didn't get tile cus I can get it cheaper by just going to az tile and picking some up with my dad cus he designs the buildings for them.

 

Very nice, but it's gonna take me forever to get out there to hang with you now. It should be worth it though. 61" DLP 1080p + PS3...yummy.

 

indeed a very tasteful experience. by the time im in the ps3 will have awesome titles we can hook up 2 ps3's to and we can do some lan gaming

 

Sam's Club has the Samsung 1080p 61" with the stand for $2189 right now. Hell of a deal.

Hell yea, man. Very nice. It's torture to wait for the house to be built though. I used to check mine out every weekend, and I got more anxious every weekend.

 

that is a sweet house.

 

Are you serious!? Must...resist...the...urge....

 

lol DUDE the gf and I are doing that literally each weekend. I took the dirt pic and when I see a change I will take another pic and since they are saying the build is going to likely be a 4 month ima be out there 2 times a week

yeah man amazon has the same thing online no joke. the electronics expo in japan came n went last month so all the new **** is coming out.

 

Yeah I want to wait for the new 3 laser projection from Mitsubishi. From what I have read it has less loss because it has one less lens to go through and there is no need to regularly replace the lasers.

 

did you ever find out how much it was gonna be? I haven't seen anything on it yet so it could take a while, laser optics would be cool

 

Well, IMO HOUSE>>>MODDING

 

I didn't go through the whole thread. How much did you pay? Land size? Sq ft.?

Congratulations my friend. I'm very happy for you.

 

the loan isn't final 'yet' but depending on if i factor in closing costs or if they are covering it the loan can be 203k or 209k. I could care less as long as I get a low interest rate and that means something like 6.5% or less with the posibility of buying down the interest rate so I can get it to 5.5 or less%.

 

Unreal. A house like that would cost me around 400K out here.

Congratulations bro and I wish you the best of luck.

I just went through this a year and a half ago. No fun but oh so worth it. Congrats.

 

thx man I am glad everyone is wishing me luck cus I need it specially with all the loan details. It appears it's almost hit and miss but I will work it out

 

No I haven't. I did find that the 61" Samsung is sold out at Sam's Club.

 

lol that it is cus it's an amazing deal for such an awesome tv

 

dude i would love to have that house!!
