buying a house

[Skipper44]

Any school in joco will be great, don't let that influence any decision, good grief

they are all much better than the national average but some are better than others and resale values reflect that.

part of it is Kstate Kathy and Pi Phi Patty helping in your kids classroom all the time is a big positive

West of K7 is Wacky's ideal spot imo

Desoto, Eudora, tongi, etc. White trash paradises.

This IRL is Tornado alley too. If there's a tornado out there right now, it's probably hanging out in Tongi as we speak.

I worked near Independence when I worked at ITT. Super trashy area, but it is what it is. Westportish area is great! Especially for a single guy.

I'll be sleeping on a futon at my friends house. Not the best spot for picking up the ladies.

I wonder if Jason Whitlock's old house is for sale. I could totally see Wacky in the hot tub at that place.

Meh. I was picking up chicks when I was living with my parents here in KC. Just stay at their house, friend.

That sounds amazing!

Good call, Wacky! I just hope they aren't also staying on the futon of someone they dated last summer.

Hot tub is long gone

That green house was really nice, guys. Actually pretty cool tbh. Agent "thinks it won't last the weekend for that price". First house we've walked into, so she knew we'd pass, but it was still kinda cool. Great deck, man cave, etc. exterior sucks tho.

You youngsters need to be thinking a little further down the road.

WTF wants to walk up ten stairs every time you bring in the groceries?

Two steps from the garage to the mudroom or foyer.

Definitely avoid the split levels.

[420seriouscat69]

Mrs. Wacky mentioned she hated split steps too. I honestly don't have a problem with it.

Something like that Wackster, although this one says show for backups. If you like split levels go for one like this. You replace that ugly carpet and redo a few things and its a p good house

i don't think it's called a split level if you don't have to immediately walk up or down when you walk in the front door.

edit: nvm looks like you kind of do

Split Entry (wacky link) vs Split Level (cf3 link)

Get it together guys

[mocat]

Split entry was probably invented by a squawk arch grad

[IPA4Me]

Both suck.

Sort of depends on how many kids you are going to have.

[420seriouscat69]

We put in a offer, guys!

[Mikeyis4dcats]

We put in a offer, guys!

it's on the green house isn't it?

[ben ji]

159th and blackbob?

[420seriouscat69]

Damn, you're good Mikey. We've seen 20 plus houses for our price range and we came back to the very 1st one. There's literally nothing to do to it. Awesome gameday basement. Huge backyard for get togethers, etc.

[420seriouscat69]

I've let Mrs. Wacky kinda run the house from day 1, but I made her comeback to this one. She hates plit entries and I told her to get th eff over it. It's a first buyer house. close to the highway, the mall, etc. In the OP and not too close to the fam. We'll just have to paint it. I was a painter in HS too.

[meow meow]

you should just bump up your budget, get a 30 year, will end up only paying a little bit more each month, and not have to live in a split level, but that's just me

[420seriouscat69]

That's fair. I've just over payed for rings, new car, etc. This is kind of my first big move in the marriage. I don't care about split entry to be honest. The house on the inside is pretty awesome. Great starter home.
