Closing on my first home today!
 

I haven't been around much lately due to my new job. But my new position has enabled me to be able purchase my first home. I'm buying the house that I grew up in from my parents for a very good price below market value. I was able to use the equity in the appraised value of the house to put 20% down in order to avoid PMI.

Congratulations. And good job on avoiding that PMI. Owning your own home is definitely a huge step toward complete financial maturity.

Post pics when u can. Congratz

I actually have posted a picture of it already.

My wife and I have been living in the house for over a year now. We moved into my parents house with the intentions of buying it.

And no, We don't live with my parents! lol

Dude your house looks Beautiful!!! Congrats Man

wow. nice!

Thanks guys. The only thing that I wish the house had was a garage. Unfortunately, there isn't enough room on the lot to build one either.

Seriously? Looks like there is a great deal of space right there.

The lot is only 1/4 acre. There isn't enough room on either side of the house for a garage. I don't think that I would want to add the garage in front of the house.

Looks awesome, man I want to see snow :(
