2nd House Offer Denied :(

Just as before, our offer was denied. :( Apparently the person's offer who did get accepted was an outrageous amount and had a lot of ernest money up front. If we wanted, we could submit a back up offer, but the risk with backup offers is we won't know what the appraisal and inspections may have proved wrong with the house that the first potential buyer withdraw due to. SO, we decided against it and carried on with house viewing. To note for anyone looking for houses, you'll want to continue viewing houses while you've put in an offer. Don't put in more offers while one is pending, but keep your options open in case your offer is denied. We've looked at 7ish, maybe 8 houses IN PERSON so far. There were some pretty ones and ones I liked aspects of, but not worth it overall or had too much of a fix-it that we wouldn't be able to afford. Onto the journey once more!

Another Homestead, Another Offer!

All right, folks, after a LOT of searching, we've found another house to put an offer on. It's within walking distance of my sister-in-law's house, and the interior of the house is stylish, back yard is HUGE, and front yard is big too (could use some sprucing up). Will and I are both aspiring gardeners, so we'll be planning some ideas for DIY landscaping. The house is 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Each of the rooms are pretty spacious which is surprising because the outside doesn't appear big. This would be a dream come true style house for Will because he loves ranches. The yard is so big and will have great room for planters, bushes, a swingset if we get one for eventual child, etc. There are some flaws that would need to be overcome, but we're very certain that we'd like the house (hence the offer). Anyway, here's to hoping, and I've included some pictures for you all to see it!!
