HOUSING ISSUE
I'm getting too old to be renting. I need to buy a house of my own and start putting money into what for many people, is their best investment. It's a tough decision to buy right now, looking at the economy, the cost of living going up and the housing market itself. Prices are falling all over the country, foreclosures are everywhere and home values have tanked. But I live in one of the few cities where the real estate market is holding fairly strong.
I'm slightly stuck at the moment. I have 'some' money that I can use for a down payment so my monthly mortgage payments wouldn't be so ridiculous that I couldn't enjoy doing anything else. The real problem is that I just started my own business, this G Brand company, which is great but doesn't generate the kind of constant revenue needed (yet) to warrant buying a home I'd be happy with. I need to lock in a few more clients on a retainer, not project basis.
Another issue is buying a place by myself. If I had a steady girlfriend or wife whom could also put money towards a place, I wouldn't have to endure the entire cost. I need to find myself a quality lady with some financial means. Where are you?
My current roommate is moving out this weekend. I've been in the same rental house for two years now. It's a nice place in a great location with Green Lake, Fremont, Ballard, Phinney Ridge and Wallingford all really close by. Everything spirals out downhill from my place. It's even easy to get downtown with an I-99 on-ramp only a couple blocks away. The only negative would be the kids who live downstairs. They are college kids who sometime get a little bit noisy. Oh the last renters were a dream, never heard em and they took the garbage out every Sunday.
So here I am, I either need a new roommate or find someone else who I could be their roommate. I hate moving and would rather not move again until it's in my own place. So the search begins. My place comes fully furnished minus the bedroom. I have all the furniture to deck out a house, I'm just missing the house. All my new roommate would need is a bed and a dresser really. It's a month to month lease right now.
So hit me up with an email if you're interested. The first image above is of the entrance to the house. Below are a couple more shots of the inside of the place. I keep it pretty clean and need to live with clean people. Can't handle living in a messy place. Check it out and spread the word, "one bedroom in nice house, great location, pretty much furnished, and live with a nice guy - for rent."
This is my living room, which is right when you go in the front door.
Moving from the living room, your looking at the path into the dinning room and then into the kitchen.
Here's the dinning room, just a little further in from the living room.
I like to cook but don't often enough. The kitchen is pretty good.
This is the bedroom available for rent. The closet will have doors on it again.
And lastly, here's my bedroom and office. There is also a bathroom, but those pictures just don't look that great. The house also has a front and back yard, a shared driveway and a garage for storage. It's a good value for what's available in Seattle.
