this is a 3-seasons porch with a staircase going to the backyard




outside:

Wow, the second place is real nice you yuppie.

I like the first place. I figure, I'm going to be paying $900 for rent... why not go for broke and buy a place?

You should get a condo somewhere near Mendon, so everyday after school I can go and annoy you! I could be Lucas the Menace!

finally listens to his better half
:bows:

Yeah, that's what a friend of mine did. He's paying the same for his mortgage as would be his rent. He got a condo over in Brighton. Nice place, too.

I just bought 2 years ago.
its really rewarding to know where your cash is going.
the first one looks good. and the market aint gonna sour in Portsmouth anytime soon. It ought to be a great investment.

Party at Rev's place!!!

first one gets my vote.

Go for the first one.

I agree, I bought a house in August of '02, smartest thing I've ever done! For what I was paying for my shoebox apt. in Burlington I've got a 4 bedroom raised ranch and my band can jam pretty much whenever we want! I liked the first condo you posted above too! Looks nice, totally worth it, just be aware of association fees with condos!

First one. The stairs are one big Mia scratching post.......

the first one = $200K
$3.4K per year in property taxes
$100/mo is condo fees.

it's got a $2.5K allowance for putting in new carpets too.
I'm excited and nausious about this...

i like the first house better, it looks like it's alot more roomy and you can put more stuff in it. looks like a sweet party house too. the second house was too white and happy vibes

wow. the first place is killer. one question though. where are my drums going to go?hehehehehehe

i bought a townhouse towards the Cape a few years backs...sold it a year later and made $$$ then i used the $$$ to put a down payment on a nice house i boguht and lived there for 2 years...sold it and made $$$

i think it's a smart investment and have always thought that

i am excited to be going to see it on sunday! wooot!

raise da roof!

Wow ... the first one is awesome !!!! All that space is great. You should definitely go for the first one.

It was a best thing I ever did. You won't regret it.

i really like the first one

I like the second one. It seems really homey (is homey a real word, I mean, as an adjective?).

yes it is.
auf Deutech: heimlich

oh, and "haha, your name is lucas"

Tis. And guess what people called me to make fun of me in K-2 grade? "Lucas Pukas"

Very, very, very, very funny.

my last name is pepelis.
it took the kids like one second to jump on that one.

the_reverend said:

Wait, how's it pronounced?

PEEPEE LESS
:(
poor aaron

or pecker-less

Hahaha, ok that's what I thought. Yeah, that is more traumatizing than Lucas Pukas.

people always mess up my first name
Katrina
Katreena
however you wanna spell it
they add a T

it's annoying a hell
ESPECIALLY when i am emailing someone and my full name is there
*sigh

Well, my last name is Malantic. Midlantic (it was a bank), Mid-atlantic, Mylanta, Malortic (I have no idea where that one came from).

In grammar school people used to call me pygmy. I would usually deck the fucker afterwards.

the first one is schweet. need a room mate?

other than mia the cat, i think the i'm closest thing to a roommate he's getting
lol
wait! does that mean yer moving?

hehehehe. i wish i was moving. i can be mia the cat.
**puts on cat ears** and you'd never have to scoop
the litter box 'cos i use the toilet and flush and clean it too.

aaron, want a room mate who can't afford any sort of rent?

Dude... 500 sq foot basementy thing... you can have your own little shows! Get that one!

My last name was McNamara, and because I am irish this WASP ridden government didn't grant me my loan. If I was some minority of immigrant or a fellow WASP I bet I would have gotten it. If you were to take a look at my credit score you would be shocked that they turned down my loan, it's in the high 700s.

hey,
this is your mother..i want you to buy the first place all wood and that stove..and just think a room for mommy..you are my favorite!!!! luv ya!!!
