This is moving pretty fast. My wife and I looked at several houses this past Saturday. One of them really appealed to us. We talked it over Saturday afternoon and evening and some more after church on Sunday. We called the realtor Sunday afternoon and arranged to meet him Monday morning to place a bid. The seller is what they call "motivated" and has respended to our bids in less than 24 hours each time. We have agreed now on $105,000 and I have an inspector coming in Monday afternoon (exactly one week anfter the first bid) for the home inspection. After that, we renegotioate if needed and sign a purchase agreement and call the good folks at the V.A. (veterans Administration) so they can send out their appraisal dude. Once that happens, the deal is pretty much done. We expect to close May 27.

House is a newly renovated century home, built in 1849. The current owner has before and after pictures up, but I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to link to someone else's content on a FaceBook page, so I won't until I get approval.
