Let the option period begin!

The contract has been approved by all parties and now we enter the option period where we have all the inspections we can get (and afford). There is a double wide trailer on the property that we will be trying to renovate as temporary housing until we can start building our own home. We are mainly interested in the fact that because of there already being a home on the property, there is already water, electricity and a septic system in place. These things are what made it worth paying more for the place than what the bank appraised the raw land for. We are getting the land at a bit of a premium but the improvements for a steal, so it evens out in my mind. Unfortunately, it will be like glorified camping at first until we can get some basic comforts stabilized. The trailer has been empty for a year now and there was some damage done over the year that needs attention. We officially close on September 15th. The list making and the preparations have begun so that we will be ready for the first weekend on site. The list grows longer everyday. First on my list is water and septic. The first thing on my wife's list is air conditioning. Go figure.
