Today we went to look at the Algood house. I actually kinda liked it. It felt better inside. I don't know if it was just the not worrying about the current owners being in there and the current owner's stuff still there, if it's just because it was a bigger house, or a number of other things. Edit: I just checked the square footage of the Algood house and the South Creek house. The Algood house is listed at 1212sq ft. The South Creek is listed at 1600sq ft. it seems strange. I guess the difference between having things in the house and not. And maybe that garage converted to a room added the extra sq footage?
The bedrooms looked to be decently sized. Each one had a ceiling fan. The "master" bedroom had a half bath inside which Rob thought was just weird. and I guess I agree. I mean especially for us that it's just the two of us. But if you think about the fact it's a 3 bedroom house. So there is potential for other people living there who may need to bathe or shower. It would work better to have the tub in a more central location than the only tub in one person's bedroom.
Rob had me sit in the tub. It was about the same size as our apartment bathtub if not smaller. The bathrooms were tiny.
The building out back was huge. And the deck is nice. And I like the colors that are already there so there wouldn't need to be as much immediate work. It has one of those split range top and oven things. The oven is in the wall and the range is next to it. Kinda cool. And it already has the fridge Rob likes.
Also, Rob got approved for 10 more hours a week starting June 1. So, once he gets me the full data I am to email the mortgage lady to get numbers reworked.
Something I'm kind of struggling with is that I kind of feel like we should look around and see what other kinds of deals we can get on a mortgage, and then again, I'm thinking we got a pretty decent deal from SunTrust. It wasn't an employee deal or anything. Just a 1st time home buyer deal.
But with the hours we work (me not getting off until 4:30, him not until 6 on MWF) it makes it difficult to go to banks. I don't necessarily want to go and do this stuff any more by myself. But I don't want everything left to Rob to do on Tuesday and Thursday.
Maybe if I can get notes on what is usually asked for (income amounts, recent jobs, Rob's ssn etc) I could go on Wednesday and check a couple places. I just don't even know what banks to go to. I kinda think some of the small local ones might be a good idea. But then again, I dunno.
Anyway, 'twas a pretty good day. I really felt a lot more comfortable at the Algood house.
tomorrow's gonna be awesome. I will be off the phone and getting paid for it from 10 - 12:30, then on lunch from 12:30 -1. Then back off the phone for 15 minutes at 2:15. We were doing a game or contest or something last month to get 'admission' to a movie while on the clock. The movie is Twilight and tomorrow's my day. And I also have a team meeting right after the movie. So fun times.
Today I found out that I have 14 booked products. 2 of which were mortgages that just booked today. I'm super stoked about those. I'm just hoping the last two I need drop into place!! *crossing fingers* I need 16 in order to get paid for booked products.
well I guess that's everything for now.
