Yep, learned that lesson the hard way myself. Thought I scored big with our rural loan—beautiful house, quiet area, everything checked out. Fast forward two months, plumbing decided it was done being cooperative... cue me frantically YouTubing pipe repairs at 2 AM. Homeownership is basically just figuring out which emergency gets priority each month, ha. Still worth it, but man, the surprises never stop coming.
"cue me frantically YouTubing pipe repairs at 2 AM."
Haha, been there! Mine was electrical though—nothing like flipping breakers in pajamas at midnight. Homeownership: the art of becoming an amateur handyman one crisis at a time... Still beats renting, somehow.
Haha, totally relate to the midnight DIY panic—mine was a leaky roof during a storm. But hey, at least every fix-up boosts your home's value a bit, right? Curious, has anyone noticed home repairs positively impacting their credit scores indirectly...?
