Offer was accepted today. Assuming the mortgage goes through without a hitch with expected terms, I'll be a proud owner of $80+k of debt. Figure I can pay it off in 5 ish years. Can be more aggressive than that if warranted, but will play it by ear.
About an acre and a half, wooded, hill side, 20-25 minutes from work, etc. It's in ok shape, not great, not falling apart. It does have a detached garage, which is awesome and includes a small apartment. I figure I'll move all of my hobby stuff into the garage and make the house look "normal" (ie cluttered with useless junk that is supposed to look pretty).
Theoretical plan is to pay the house off in 5 years. Then immediately or after a couple year delay, rip down the house and replace it with a cabin. Pay that off within a max of 5 years, or less. So that I have a very nice house on 1.5 acre, fully paid off by the time I'm 40. I could squish that down, but that'd require living under more austere conditions, which I would prefer not to do. By austere, I mean, not installing metal/wood working equipment, reloading bench, etc.
It'll be weird to have a home. Never had one of those before. Just places I lived.
