43084	Any homeowners?	I'm a homeowner. My realtor was pretty good and was quite knowledgeable. So he let us know all sorts of things to watch out for especially when it came to law regarding this stuff. Was almost 3 years ago so my memory is fuzzy. Gotta make sure any modifications the old owner did are up to code and have permits. I believe most local cities have sites where you can check this up. The house I bought had a finished basement but found out only half of it was permitted. Asked the owners to get it permitted before selling it to us. If anything went wrong and we got the house it would be our new responsibility. <div><br></div><div>Doing a home inspection is also pretty useful. Don't know if they're required in most places but if the house has major issues they'll be able to spot them out for you and you can put that stuff forward during negotiations.</div><div><br></div><div>Also get real familiar with the Platt. That's where your property is marked. Wouldn't want to try and build a shed or something then realize you build it outside your Platt. That would be bad.</div><div><br></div><div>It may be too late since you picked your location but I made sure the schools in the surrounding area had good scores and reputations so that by the time my daughter had to go there she'd have at least a better education.</div><div><br></div><div>Yeah 200K for a house isn't bad. I got sort of lucky and found one for about 300K where most houses in my surrounding area can range from 450K to 700K depending on the area and the vicinity to DC. Only downside is the commute.</div>	Linux_Sage	Jun 28, 2019
43083	Any homeowners?	I'm not a homeowner myself, but let me give you two pieces of advice based off of my parents experiences:<div><br></div><div>Headaches are going to happen. You are going to have all kinds of problems. Some common, some weird. Don't get worked up over it, just deal with it as they come.</div><div><br></div><div>Or do the exact opposite and have a temper tantrum every time something happens. If your child ever decides to become a writer, they'll have tons of material about their father getting angry over the simplest of problems.</div><div><br></div><div>More importantly, don't rush into something. Take you're time. My parents have complained non-stop over the past several years about the area they chose to move to. Had they known more about it, they would have not moved there and now regret the decision. Don't make the same mistake. Really get a feel for where you want to move to first, and get to know the house you want before making a final decision.</div>	Rick Ace Rhodes	Jun 28, 2019
43082	Any homeowners?	<p>I think the only information I would have liked to have known before committing to the purchase of our home was the situation surrounding the sale of it. </p><p>The lady living here was basically being kicked out by her parents because they didn’t like her lifestyle or the people she associated with, something we only discovered much later. It made getting her to leave so we could move in awkward</p>	Vaporman87	Jun 28, 2019
43081	The 2000's	I don't think we can mention music of the 2000's without talking about Linkin Park.<div><br></div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kXYiU_JCYtU" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>	Rick Ace Rhodes	Jun 27, 2019

43078	I've Got a Secret contestant	Sadly, renal failure took his life.	Mr Magic	Jun 27, 2019
43076	I've Got a Secret contestant	Ah, I used to watch that show a little. Yeah that bit was probably the most historically significant. There's even this episode that debuted a 15 year old Bobby Fischer before he became a chess legend<div><br></div><div><br></div> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XN1FcljFSjY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>	Linux_Sage	Jun 27, 2019
