So I’ve been working on getting a house here in fairbanks for a while, and I’ve been wanting to upload a link so y’all can see it. However since I made an offer that was accepted it’s no longer viewable at the online database. That’s too bad because there were some nice interior photos. This photo I nabbed out of the appraisal document is of the exterior which is not the primary reason I decided to go with this place. Ah well. The reason this place is good is because it’s actually somewhat nice whereas every other place I looked at at this price was total crap… and I mean crap! Plus it has a number of attributes I like. For a place in town its got a lot of land (0.344 acres). Its in town! Running water. Next to the BMW motorcycle shop. Nice but has plenty of room for sweat equity (notice the photo). Neighbors seem promising. Yadda yadda yadda.
The only thing that I really don’t like is the lack of garage. I set out looking only for places with garages. I found one too that was nice but was a condo. I was actually at the realtors about to make an offer when I mentioned that there was this one last place I’d like to look at before I put down this earnest money, and it turned out to be this place. I think owning my own place is better than having a garage… when I’ve got the cash, I can build my own garage anyway! So here’s the pic:
Congrats and good luck with the closing. Show more pics when you move in!!
