Hey everyone, I just wanted to announce that Gordon is in escrow with a Townhouse in Duarte! He has been patiently looking for a house for about a year now, and with my help for the last 4 months. There are so many beaters out there that would cost too much money to fix up and the ones that were foreclosing seemed to already have 6 or 7 offers already. It was tough and very time consuming but we feel that going with this townhouse is the best choice right now.
It has 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath. Its 2 stories with a balcony off the master and super high ceilings in the family room. The garage is attached with a tiny bit of yard in the front and side. The complex has a pool and spa right across from our place and its in a really quite place overlooking the mountains.
We are so excited to get moving on it.....BUT.....it still needs some work. All new paint and floors. The ceilings need to be scrapped of their popcorn style. We want to replace all the plumbing, the kitchen and the bathrooms. SO, we need everyones advice on this one. How did you do things, where did you get things, who did you hire, who did you NOT hire, what are things worth, and are they deals that you found that would be helpful?
We need all the advice we can get, remember this is our first place!
PS escrow closes around the 1st of March and Gordon's knee surgery is scheduled on the 5Th......
