Wait until the buyer sues you & their home inspector because of the front door sticking & cracks appearing a year after you sold the house. |

It just amazes me how many ways they figure out how to tax a person. Do you have to annually purchase a sticker on your car to have the privilege to park in your own driveway? That is so common in Illinois that the citizens think it is normal and they are used to it. |

We have what’s called inspection stickers on our cars. It has an electronic bar code on it that a cop can scan driving by. It used to be every year, but now it’s every other year. They check everything and if you fail you have 30 days to make the necessary repairs. |

We just bought a house, asked for 7k off the asking price and found issues during the inspection. I could fix a lot of them myself we asked for another 1000 to fix some stuff found in the inspection, agreed on 500 back at closing. |

Oh we had inspection stickers as well, and I had no problem with that as it helped to keep clunkers off the roads, but this sticker was just another tax. No explanation or benefit to it, other than a way for each village to extort more money from you. IIRC it was $25 per vehicle per year. Not a lot of money, but the fact that they could write you a ticket for not having one parked in your own driveway pissed me off. The Mrs. paid that crap each year even though I didn't agree |

JoCo Ks. if a house was anywhere near being considered move in ready, they were sold the day they went on the market. It was definitely a balancing act on my part. I wasn’t hip in paying a ton then having to drop probably 20k on fixing shit and countless weekends working on it...then hopefully get money back when I sold it. Not to mention, I have zero tools so any project is already a money suck because I’d have to buy tools etc. So there were plenty of houses out there, but they needed quite a bit of work. I decided it was worth it to just be patient and when I found the house, go after it. Luckily I found a complete down to the stud remodel. New wiring, new ac, furnace, new appliances, floors, doors, etc. I sacrificed a little on location, backs up to a busy street. But got a 3 br, 2 full bath 2 car ranch with main floor laundry. Which is what I wanted when we started alll this shit last April. With this house, all I have to do is maintain it, and not have to deal with any major projects. Which is nice, since I have virtually zero interest in owning a home to begin with. Lol. But, with rent in this area, it’s basically a little cheaper to buy. |
how many ceiling fans are in the house?
