Well, yesterday I started the ball rolling with getting my insurance agent out to the house to do a look-see and develop an insurance premium for the home. Contacted Mary Kay and she and the agent will coordinate to get out together. I informed the bank and they just need to know who the agent is and the policy number once its been set-up.
I also dropped the apartment termination letter off and next/last month of rent off.
Today, Mary Kay sent me an email letting me know the seller was willing to offer a concession about the downstairs bathroom shower stall. (Was mounted incorrectly, leaked, and wasted space in the small space anyway! I've been reading http://blog.diynetwork.com/tool-tips/2012/01/12/emily-winters-bathroom-renovation-day-3/ and her associated blog www.merrypad.com and well, I think once the house gets painted, organized and all large projects have been done, that I could work on doing this as a project.
Anyway, have to see how this butts up against my closing costs, he can't give me more than I'll be paying for closing, and also Navy Federal is offering $2500 closing costs help as well, it would be kinda funny (and awesome) not to have to pay much. Just have to see.
And yes, I realize that a DIY project is not something lightly to enter, but also I think when I put my mind to something, I can get it done.
