Low key considering starting a cash-only side hustle but it might completely destroy my sanity |

Moved into a flat I now own after living with my parents for 10 months. Feels weird having my own place but I'm excited to get things looking how I want them. Gonna turn the second bedroom into an office/drum room.
Besides a few months last summer it's my first time living by myself. Gonna take some getting used to at first, but so far so good.
Hello to all the folks here, shout out

Anyone have experience with a PHFA K-FIT loan, or some other states equivalent? Apparently it's a new loan in PA as of March 2021. State gives you 5% of total house cost with 0 interest. the loan is forgiven 10% each year for 10 years, but if you sell before 10 years you owe whatever the outstanding balance is. seems dope and im considering it?

Not familiar with that one specifically but with other similar programs there really is no catch. That sounds fantastic and I'd absolutely utilize it provided you're planning on staying in the home for at least 5-6 years. |

Everything is too expensive. Had the interior painted a few weeks ago, put in grass in the backyard, now just save for the rest of my life to paint the exterior.

Used one of those drain snakes that attaches to a drill because my kitchen sink had become unusable over the last day or so. It was busting up every major clog so I just kept feeding that shit into the wall until it got stuck and broke the reel getting the hose back out. Still better than snapping the hose and digging up the pipes to get the rest out.
10/10 would buy again. Now my kitchen sink drains insanely fast it’s awesome.

Recently bought a home and I’m not the handyiest of people and gotta be honest it’s pretty whack. I’m not trying to fix or maintain all this shit. This house is 100 years old!

Had an offer accepted and did the inspection. Found asbestos in the kitchen floor laminate and underneath (kitchen needed to be remodeled so remediation was necessary), so tried to get 5k covered in closing costs. wen't back and forth and they kept asking for stupid shit, the last of which being asking for $1k more on the purchase price after I already offered to raise it by $5k.
Told them to fuck off, got my deposit back and have now had an offer accepted at a bigger and better house 2 blocks away.
Also the first seller was a state trooper who dodged a DUI by flexing his status, so he can get fucked.

We need a new deck and trying to get one for $25,000 or less is a chore
Had we built a garage 2 years ago we could have saved over $20,000
ugh

Had an offer accepted and doing the inspection Saturday. The house is cool but I'm a very cheap person and the prospect of updating it (roof/mechanicals/probably windows) is already stressing me. That said it is livable and hopefully we can delay everything until costs settle a bit.

Anyone ever repaint a basement?
I want to create a basic home office down there, but I'm not feeling the dank.
Everything that I'm reading is providing conflicting information (ex. NEVER paint your basement vs. paint your basement, but you should totally strip, power wash, and sand it first vs. just throw some waterproofing paint down). I'm at the point now where I'm just going to scrub the walls and the floor, make it spotless clean and call it a day. Maybe put some vinyl interlocking planks down if it still looks shitty afterward.

This before/after is from like August but I finally re-did the deck in our backyard. The original one was there when we moved in 3.5 years ago and was falling apart. Did the new one with Trex, loving it. Forgive the chicken wire border, we put that in to keep our cats from going under the deck.   |

Found this board today. I'm an old Ted.
Boyfriend and I just closed on a 1902 Victorian in Northern California. It's zoned residential and commercial. Going to put a little pastry/panini spot in the building that's attached. It used to be an H&R Block. The high school is 2 blocks away. I'm trying to get that high school lunch money to pay my mortgage.

Congrats. For some reason, your post reminded me of the poster who was going to start a donut shop with nothing but a deep fryer from Walmart.
I'm sure your paninis and dense nuggs of fat buds will be delicious, though.

Dispensaries are currently not allowed in the town that I'm in.. that will change someday, but we're so close to the high school, I probably wouldn't be able to get it going. But goddamn the guy that was going to open a donut shop with a Walmart fryer.. good for him. Dream big. |
