How close are they to 12th? Do I know them? Are they my new neighbors?

Cully is kind of far, esp. if you're a biker. However, if you're a driver, you can just hop onto Lombard, zip to I-5 and be anywhere pretty quickly. (I'm worried I will get the wrath of Jessica for even mentioning driving as a viable option!)
-
Wait, what? Beaumont is far? I mean, maybe the eastern most part of it... If we're talking about the same beamont (from, like, 33rd to 47th, between Alberta and Knott) we have very different definitions of "far"!! I mean, I'll admit, I really wa…

It's pretty hard. How do you define "big lot"? Hey, this one's cute, too, and it has a cottage in the back! http://www.redfin.com/OR/Portland/5124-NE-35th-Pl-97211/home/25801550

Oh, and another friend from work is probably going to come and she has a cute house she is thinking of SELLING. Perfect opportunity to get in on something before it gets listed!
-
Ok, bar it is. YOU GUYS LOOK AT THIS HOUSE PLEASE BUY IT: http://www.redfin.com/OR/Portland/4819-NE-30th-Ave-97211/home/26525797 SO CUTE!
-
Which would you guys prefer: meet at a bar (I'm thinking Sauvage, on SE 6th, since it's close to realtor's office) OR meet at Realtor's office on SE 6th and Main (it's kind of a cool space). If the latter, we will be in charge of drinks. This does…
-
YT and MZ - by all means, please come! The more the merrier! My friend's realtor-mom has even offered to host us in her cool office space in SE and bring wine! More details coming soon but save the date.

Great! Just read this: 1 in 4 houses in Portland (or Oregon?) have radon. Just FYI! http://www.oregonlive.com/environment/index.ssf/2013/01/new_radon_numbers_highlight_po.html

Does 6pm on Wednesday work for people? It's on the early side, but that's what works best for my realtor consultant.

Lucky duck!

UPDATE: The real estate agent is totally game! AND, if we have enough folks, she will bring along the mortgage broker she works with. We're thinking an evening next week. I know abe (and myself) are available Wednesday evening. Would that work f…

Also: I have invited a local trusted real estate agent to attend our first homeowners club meeting (date/time still TBD). She's the mom of a good friend, and she will probably be able to answer the questions I can't. I'll keep you posted. Would i…

I got this email from redfin today: Before you buy a home... Whether you’re a first-time home buyer or you just want to boost your buying knowledge, we’d love to see you at our free Home Buying Class. Join Redfin Agent and local expert Brigitte Jon…

Do not recommend: moving into a new house on your own while trying to take care of a big doofy dog. Just saying. I want to wring his poop-covered neck today.
-
abe! I don't know who you are, either! But I will send you an email and we'll figure it out. :)
-
Will someone please give me an update on the best option for ISP in 2013? I need to get hooked up.
-
Gives me the chills, reading about your friend. I'm so so sorry he is gone. "By all accounts, he was a gentle, inspiring soul who strived to be relentlessly positive in the face of adversity." RIP.

Homeowners club! For homeowners and would-be homeowners! I will be president of the club and invite guest speakers (realtor friends) to come tell you what to do! Wanda and abe - just shoot me an email. I'd be happy to have drinks with you. Alex…

Ooh! I want BOTH Wanda's walk and LT's gif tutorial! Please sign me up!

I got a rad swimsuit (that is too small, unfortunately) at some skater clothes shop on 23rd several years ago. It has a tiger on it!
-
Oh man. We have exact opposite strategies, YT. Matt and I (when he lived in PDX) would OFTEN plan "weekend excursions" to check out properties we couldn't afford, just for fun! I think the "amazing deal" scenario is more likely to surface via wor…

A ton depends on the market, too. As recently as December 2012, my friend bought a house for 380k (he's a software entrepreneur). By February 2013, because of how things were working in the Portland market, my realtor told me his house would be wo…
-
Not to put pressure on you, Alex (because seriously - you should go at your own pace with this stuff and do everything when you feel ready) but FYI: I got my home (closed last week) at 3.75% interest rate. As such, it cost $55k less than it would …

I'm at work and my blood sugar just went straight to zero in about 2 seconds so I'm feeling all dizzy, which is what happens when I drink too much coffee and don't eat a big lunch. But of course my brain immediately thinks: IT'S THE METH! I've sle…

Yet another house-buying tid bit: Get your house tested for meth! Who on earth knew this was a thing? I just happened to be talking with the husband of the colleague who hooked me up with my house (husband = worked on the house as a carpenter duri…

Well it just so happens I was hiking along Opal Creek this afternoon, thinking about how fun it would be to plan a backpacking trip for my less-experienced friends. Others please chime in if you are interested in a backpack-packing class or beginne…
