Hard-earned money. And like, you know, you're, you really want to make sure like there's a lot, there's a lot of slippage in buying and selling a home. And so you really want to make sure like you choose the right one and that one doesn't come up a week or two later that is the same price range, but like you'd like a lot more.
And so the cost of getting it wrong is just like, especially in Austin where the houses are so different, like the styles of the homes we've been looking at are so different.
Okay, so here's the situation. We have a deal to buy our current house. That deal, a couple things need to happen. We have some proposed renovation plans or expansion plans. So we're understanding the feasibility of those, both in terms of like, can we do it? And also the price of doing it and also the timeline of doing it.
So if we can make everything work with our current house, great, as it comes to those three things of renovation, feasibility, price, and time, love it. If we can't, then...
we'll be out of this house and it's crazy because like we have what a week to hopefully get to the bottom of it and hopefully we can make it work but and we're busting to get to the end but we will we will see i'm hopefully like i'm confident that i think what do you say like what's you've been saying something about this you've been so unbelievably patient like what's meant to be will be it's yes
Yeah, you're just really trusting the process. So I don't know. That's a little blabber. There's more detail to it that I'm sure we'll get into over time.
I see.
Impervious coverage.
And then there's FAR and there's several of these things that I'm learning. And shout out Google AI Studio because it has been an unbelievable teacher as it pertains to understanding what is happening in this house. I've taken every document that we've gotten. So like the inspection report, the seller disclosure report, this house is zoned weird.
So like I've taken all those zoning docs and I put them all into Google AI Studio and I've just been firing questions. So you get the inspection reports like, hey, what in this inspection report are you concerned about? What should we look more into? And the seller's disclosure report, same thing. And it's been super helpful.
The seller disclosure report is everything the seller knows that's wrong with the house.
Yes.
there are two separate things. So like the inspector came in and looked at a whole bunch of stuff throughout the house. One thing that he said needed to be fixed was the roof. So that's part of the price that we need to account for. Fixing a roof feels like a pretty common thing when buying a house. So like annoying, but not a deal breaker.
Versus the seller disclosure report will talk about other things that they may have learned along the way, whether parts of the house have been built illegally or if you're located on a floodplain or a whole bunch of other random things. I don't know if I did a good job with that.
Legally, yes. But I do think that there's probably a lot of gray area where it's like, well, their interest is getting the house sold.
But I think you get in a lot of trouble if it comes out that you did know about something and you didn't disclose it. Like if you knew there was mold and you didn't disclose it, we found out there was mold and then we call you on it and we reach out to a company that confirms that you'd spoken to them about it. then I think you're getting a lot, a lot of trouble.
So that's why it's important that, you know, when you buy a house, you understand its condition. And when you sell it, selling it honestly, which is obviously what we will do at the point that we sell our home.
Have I ever told you about the change of my like when karma entered my life?
We called it travel karma.
Yeah. And when we were on exchange. Anytime we did something bad, we would get hit with travel karma.
