Ranch Inspection
God bless the world wide interweb. Not only were we able to pay for our home inspection using Pay Pal, but we also received our Home Inspection Report via the web. Purchasing a home long distance has been a lot easier than I thought.

Thankfully, the ranch inspection results went pretty well. Not necessarily a clean bill of health, but nothing life threatening or enough to make us withdraw our offer. The roof was one of my biggest concerns as it’s almost impossible to see it from the road. Here the report says: “Roof covering looks very good.  Replacement appears recent and well done.” Whoop Whoop!

The problems that we’ll have to deal with sometime soon after we move in are: 1) The chimney needs to be cleaned before we can blaze up the fireplace, 2) some electrical work is old and needs replaced and, 3) There is a small bit of dry rot under a couple pieces of siding on the back exterior.

Both the realtor and the inspector agree that the although the ranch was well lived in, it wasn’t necessarily well loved. Obviously, I got mad love for the Ranch. Things are going to change.

Met with a potential financial advisor last night. What a trip. The guy was a straight up Glenngarry Glen Ross huckster! Seriously dude, if you say shit like, “I can guarantee you that I am better than 99.9% of all Financial Advisors out there”, and, AND you have a serious, very earnest look upon your visage when you do mumble this trite cliche, well then, I’m going to have a laugh and never trust my hard earned greenbacks to you.
