Just found out I'm getting my first house. Going to sign the contract tomorrow!!!

Congrats, and good luck!

Awesome!

Congratulations man.

Def. a buyers market .. good for you.

Congratz! Hope to see you on the Battlefield a little while after you have settled in!

grats! and welcome to the suck!

Good luck with that Don, nothing like owning your own.

Congrats, the nice thing is you get to reap the benefits, like paying off the mortgage and no more rent. The only down side is having to repair everything yourself but youtube has alot of helpful free info vids for that. I know I remodeled my entire downstairs, new kitchen, including walls, ceilings and all my interior doors and of course that was over several years. Good luck!

SWEET!

Congrats Don.
Hopefully the time away from gaming while you move will make you rusty so we can all beat on you for a while...

Don't you already beat me Hman??? I signed the contract today so it's still probably going to be a few weeks before I move. The problem I'm going to run into is with my ISP. The only service that Verizon offers at the new address is phone and TV (through DirectTV (blah)). Right now I'm rocking their FiOS services and I really don't want to go back to the typical cable company. The root of the problem, I'm one year into my two year contract with Verizon, so I may be looking at dropping a few hundred bucks to break my contract. Hopefully I can find someone that understands where I'm coming from and will just let me out. Either way, I will have internet the day I move in and my computer will be one of the first things to get set back up so I'll probably only be out for two or three days when I do move.

Thanks for all the congratulations.

If they don't then they're a bunch of douchebags

So what you gonna do about it.

Punch them in the throat. No, I'll just continuously call until I get someone that will let me outta my contract without paying the fee. If not, then I'll just pay the fee and be done with them.

On a side note, we had the home inspection done today. Of the stuff found the major problems are that there's mold under the kitchen sink, a pipe burst coming out of the hot water heater at some point (about a one inch crack), and a few of the windows have moisture getting between the panes (double-pane windows) which means we either have to replace the glass or the entire window. Hopefully the windows will hold off for a year until next tax season when we can replace them. The mold and issue with the hot water heater, we're asking the seller to have them taken care of.
