Today has been a busy day so far for house info.
First of all we found out that because it's a manufacture home if we want to build on to it (as we plan on doing down the road) not only do we have to get a city permit but we have to get a state permit as well which just means it will take more time and money if we want to build on.
Second we got a preliminary report about our well. It takes ten days for the official report but everything looks good so far. Even though the homeowner said when they first drilled the well it was getting 17 gallons a minute, after our test it is only getting 1.19 gallons a minute. This isn't great but should be enough water for two people. We also have a 2500 to 3000 gallon water tank (finding out the exact number) so will have a nice reserve of water just in case.
Third we got our termite inspection report and I am happy to say we passed. There was on issue of some dry rot on the front deck and the seller said he would take care of it. So all is well for the termite inspection.
Fourth we sent in our "repair request" form asking for only a few things to be repaired before we move in. Currently the spa is broken but they said they would fix that. There are large amount of debris (old patio furniture and such) that needs to be removed as well as the garage doors working properly and the back door not closing properly. So all in all not a lot for them to fix.. we could have asked for me. So hopefully they'll accept our request and that part will be over.
Fifth we are still waiting for the appraisal of the house. They were missing some loan info but we got that to them today so hopefully the will have something very soon... let's just hope the house is worth what we offered for it.
So we have a few more thing to clear up but we are moving forward.. now if I could only figure out all these legal paper. I consider myself an educated man but OMG I have papers from our Escrow company, Title company and Loan company that I have to read and sign and I can't make heads or tails of it all. They don't show this part of those TV Real Estate shows. :)
