He gets the keys tomorrow.
I am so proud of this kid. He is almost 27, out on his own, and has bought his first house. He was a senior in 2001, and went right down to the Army and enlisted the day after the attacks. 3 days after he graduated he was gone.
He has been a great example to his younger brother, who idolizes him.
When he got out he had decided on HVAC. There is a good GI bill approved school in Reno. He got headhunted right out of the class by Sears and has been a HVAC tech for them for 5 years now. They love him, he has gotten raises and attaboys when others were getting laid off.
He came back to Grass Valley for awhile, but decided that California was not his cup of tea anymore, and transferred back up there late last fall, planning to live in his 33 ft 5er toyhauler with his girlfriend and their 2 dogs while he got his VA stuff sorted out for a loan.
He was approved, and after playing the short-sale game he found a place that was a conventional sale and put a bid in the first day it was listed.
He signed the paperwork today, and will get the keys tomorrow.
3-2, 1900+ sq. Ft. with a 3 car garage and RV parking in the neighborhood he wanted. I told him to be picky, and find what he wanted no matter how long it took. Settling for something less than what you want in this market is nuts.
I am so proud. I am also tickled to be able to start hauling all of his junk up there and start filling his garage and clear up some of my shop space.
This is a day I won't soon forget.
