I love owning a home. Over about a 6 or 7 year period, I’ve had my ceiling re-done 3 times, have had 3 separate contractors do roof work, and had a mason rebuilt my chimney all in search of water getting in somewhere. Probably 12+ grand later I’m sitting here looking at a big warped & cracked paint area around a light fixture in our living room. I’m done trying, it will be the next owners problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEAR PROPERTY TAXES TAX ASSESSMENT 2017 $231 $1,500 certainly isn't NY taxes Whole different league than NY. New Orleans has a strong, vibrant industrial economy. Heck it's one of the busiest ports in the country (short tons). Sure, NY-NJ is up there, but with NOLA coupled with S.Louisiana... It blows the rest of the country away. New York has a whole state dragging it down. It's industry that bouys the team, economy. Natural resources and location, location, location. Yet... Louisiana has the highest sales tax in the country: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a walk thru of our last house in FL the night before closing. We got a call saying “it’s raining in 2 of your bedrooms!” No, that can’t be, they have NEVER leaked! Turns out the wind was blowing so hard the rain came in sideways and sure enough.....rained into 2 bedrooms. A banker buddy had the same thing happen in a branch that had never leaked before. FORTUNATELY, it was a relocation, so the day before we transferred the property to the relo company (so we didn’t have to pay commission, closing costs, etc.). They said “that’s our problem, we own it now” and ate the $5k to fix the roof and water damage. Close call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Sorry for the thread hijack. I was looking at my at my bank account yesterday and was wondering why my mortgage loan disappeared from my account list. Today I found out, it was sold to another bank, less than 20 days after our closing. This combined with the water I could hear in the attic, plus the water we found in the basement last night, and some hammering pipes, is really pissing me off. First thing monday I’ll be calling my credit union and telling them since they don’t want my business after being a customer for over 15 years, I may go elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling your loan will allow them to lend to another and so on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love owning a home. We had a leek in a rented storage unit and when we told the operator of the unit he said he would fix it with "Through the Roof." He said it was the best product he had ever used for fixing leeks. Maybe you bought the house that failed our inspection. Is it in Liverpool?
