For a seperate movie/man cave maybe. Projectors aren't really for that main everyday wear and tear. Warm up time, lamp replacement, input switching speed etc.
Bachelor Pad.

Yep. Called it.
Congrats on the purchase. I would look into your refi as soon as you can, also see if there are any penalties that come along with it. Rates are growing unfortunately and the sooner you can refi the better.

Not handy, but have assembled furniture and do basic car type stuff. lol
My living room is kinda the last place of attention lol. Been too busy with work. Kinda want that rectangular/cube feel.
Two things bugging me, the desk and coffee table. I cant seem to find any space.conscious table. My bed room has a brownish themed furniture toit, and Im trynna find a desk.
I have a 27 inch monitor and a printer. I dont have much paper sort or speak, but all the desks I have looked at too big.

Erase all debt. Try not to have a balance on anything.
Take your time, get an inspection and don't hesitate to walk away if it doesn't feel right.
Save money for furniture, repairs, etc. I have to have a new tub before I take a shower in any new home. I also need a new toilet. I want to be the first cheeks to have sat on MY throne.

Good luck. Only 2 pieces of advice. Hire movers, trust me. HIRE MOVERS. And lastly Furnish one room at a time. It keeps you on track and its cheaper.Not a bachelor pad at all, but me and the wife are buying our first house

Yeah. $500k gets you a run down 1200 sq ft house in L.A.
I've been looking at places like Houston and ATL amongst other upcoming major cities too for potential moves.

Wait... Why hire movers? I didn't hire any movers in any of my homes.

I'm at that point where I JUST DON'T WANT TO WORK anymore
I would miss L.A., but the idea of retiring at 35 with the profit of an L.A. sale to a ATL/TEXAS 100-150k home, living off the interest sounds sooo good right now. My wife can work if she wants but I just want a porch and a rocking chair and I'll be happy
Time. It's easier, and less stressful. They know angles and move fast as hell. It took me and my boys 2 hours to get a couch out a door once

You're not getting a good home in Texas for 150K.
Dallas, Houston, Austin at least. Anywhere desirable
But I get what you mean

In Dallas and Houston for sure you can get a nice brand new home in a good area for as low as 120K. Not sure about Austin just cause I've only been to the UT campus there.

Can't believe I never entered this thread until now. Well I may have a couple years left at the parents' crib so I have time to think about how I'll do my house, or place if residence. I've got colors figured out so that's a start. Great note on no cheap posters, but framed **** instead. Will keep reading thread and I see mad convenience in a gaming console, ps3 in particular because they'll be cheap and I don't **** with video games, and I upload my music (music lover) and put on Blu ray movies

Because, well no one "Wants" to help you move. Also, if you have multiple floors like I do, 3, its much easier. After all of the stress of closing on your home there is no better feeling than just walking in and setting up. Moving is stressful. Also, if anything gets scratched or broken your buddy can't just say sorry bro.Good luck. Only 2 pieces of advice. Hire movers, trust me. HIRE MOVERS. And lastly Furnish one room at a time.
