The realtor said they pay all closing costs and he even gave me the key code so I could take a look at the house on my own time. I really appreciated that because my hours at work are ridiculous!


Anyway, I like the idea of the extra lots, but shou
ld I decide in the future to divide the land up could I sell the extra land if I'm still paying on it? And does a home inspector check the land as well as the house or is that a separate inspector?

I have rented and I like the dear landlord my washer is acting up ness of it, but I'be been looking at houses for a while now and it's just time.

Any thoughts on For Sale By Owner? Pros/ cons?
I pay $40 a month for home insurance on repairs and replacement of plumbing, air conditioner, heater, water heater, etc. It's been well worth it. I've been here for 3 years and they replaced my heater. I saved about $5000. I'm not sure if my plan covers washer, dryer, and other appliances but I'm sure that's an option.
