My bad didn't see this post.

10 percent.

How much does your management company charge you

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Can I be like yall one day?

There's absolutely no reason why not.

All you have to do is save up a down-payment for a home.

Living Room sets... Do I look at Rooms to Go or are they pretty much overpriced, like the Best Buy of furniture?

I'm looking at Leather Sectionals.

Haggle haggle haggle is all I can tell you.

Go to one of those big box furniture stores and haggle. All that shyt is negotiable.

Home owner here. The southern brehs got me TIGHT with all the square footage and acres y'all got. I'm working with 1600 sq ft and my crib was double what most ppl saying in here. @ living in the NE

nikkas in here really talking about $700 closing costs and what not. Mine was 40k+, including down payment. Got me feeling like cacs ripped me off. My town has bullshyt ass sales tax and stuff tho. Congrats to all the brehs who own though. It's a MAJOR hurdle most of us ain't achieving out here.

Oh and breh that said fha is is right. PMI is for the life of the loan now. Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Save at least 10% down if you can't swing 20%. I have a link that breaks down the home buying process I can post when I get home.


My property has 6 trees and I have mulch, grass, and other shyt I want to finesse so I'll be in here with questions. My upcoming projects are hanging flat screens with no wires showing and I might try to build a pallet wall. Them things

For all those interested in home automation, strongly consider Control 4. I'm not able to control most of the lights, AC, security system, and cameras all from my Iphone. Either at home or remotely. shyts sublime!

I'm just now seeing this thread. Just completed a major renovation at my home and got my spot looking lovely. Owning your own home has to be one of the most satisfying things a man can achieve.

Maybe, that's how I found out about them though. Trying to find ways to hide cords without punching holes in the walls. Some people build a tv panel out of the pallet wall.
Even if I do just punch holes for the tv I think I want to make a pallet wall in the man cave or as an accent wall
My wife can paint too so we can get real creative with it. It's basically a poor mans exposed brick

How to Buy a House -- A guide for first-time home buyers

 

[newarkhiphop]

Made my own 4x8 raised garden bed yesterday

Buy (3) 4 x 8 's = $40

Buy some weed blocker cloth = $7

Buy a soaker hose = $15

Buy a Y connector =$5

Buy some organic dirt and organic compost = dirt $35 for 1 square yard , compost = free from the city

Optional but highly recommended, get a hold carpet, use a big circular thing or coffee lid and put holes in it like this . This helps keeps moisture in

plant yo shyt

I can get into more details as far building/planting if anyone wants.


Plan is to eveutnally have the yard looking like this

Question:

How would i go about getting a home improvement loan if i have little to no equity? I have a few projects i wanna do and looking at my onhand cash i doubt it will even cover 1/5 of what i wanna do.

I want to:

• Modernize my 2 bathrooms
• Knockdown a wall and destroy a coat closet between my kitchen and living room. Id use the space from the coat closet to build an island
• Possibly move my "laundry space"

 

[Dolla$]

does anyone have a greenhouse in their backyard? I'm thinking about investing in one. Would appreciate some tips from those who do

You're looking at about $35k-$50k on the low end. Unsecured loans are available but you already know you'll just be digging yourself deeper into the hole. You'd be better off DYI'ing what you can, paying cash.
