I have an embarrassing amount of left overs from years past, thinking that I could use them for some sort of craft.Is the quality of the product in tablet form, or pouches of liquid color, worth hanging on to?
Some people use them to dye fabric and yarnI did some and they faded badly in the sunlight, but it did work.
I don't know what kind of price or what the assessment value is, but I'm guessing that your probably getting a good dealIn the long run, the equity you gain might might be worth the extra work.
The brand new home sounds awfullI'm sure the inside, with all the amenities will look great, but the location sucksI call them cookie cutter homesThere's 3-4 styles and over 100 homes, so the homes in the neighborhood all look the same with no personalityThe home you buy should be your dream home as far as the yard, location, size etcsince your a renter you can look until you find the perfect homeI wouldn't let things like cleaning, bugs, paint, and flooring effect you decisionThe two homes that I have bought needed lots of work to move inOnce you clean the bugs/ mice will leaveIt sounds like the previous owners didn't care muchI don't know what kind of price or what the assessment value is, but I'm guessing that your probably getting a good dealIn the long run, the equity you gain might might be worth the extra workkeep in mind being able to walk the kids to school is GREAT!! As they get older they can walk with friends and it will make your life a little easier.
