It's not the worst thing in the world, but it sure would be nice to get away from them for a little bit.
Here's my house, I just signed papers for the loan yesterday. Nothing fancy, just an old farm house.
If you guys would like I'll post photos of the inside. I've already started doing some work like putting up some drywall and refinishing the hardwood floors.
FP edit: (never thought I'd type FP edit) I will post photos of interior on Monday. As for my parents they purchased land right behind mine and will be building a new house once they get the money from selling, until that house is finished they will be staying with me.
Photos of interior are now posted: http://imgur.com/gallery/CAQTlvI

Damn that house is fucking huge, I wanna move in too

It looks fancy to me

This is the makings of a 90's sitcom. Role reversal, now your parents act sorta like kids.
hojizzbar
I mean that house looks the size I'd expect a 5 person family to be living in. In the UK that would be at least half a million
Degarafarat
Are they paying rent?
GaaraOfDaFunk
They are going to.
stormNoodleMagnet
My parents did something like that. Bought a house, 3 months later they had to move out of theirs. I had to kick them out 2 months later.
GaaraOfDaFunk
Sorry to hear about that, fortunately for me this will only be temporary until they can build their new house

Oh fuck noooooooooo. They knew they were selling a house. Fuck that. Enjoy having a big event in your life stained. Back with mommy and dad.
iRateYourDick
Sorry this would make me so upset. Fianlly become an adult and thry move their nest to you. Bullshit.
GaaraOfDaFunk
No need to apologise, I'm not thrilled about it either, but they are going to be paying rent and help with repairs and remodel.
UnpopularOpinionsGuy
If they want to live with you, have them build a cabin on the property. No need to share your house and marriage(?) with them.
GaaraOfDaFunk
It's only going to be temporary, they purchased 15 acres right behind my property and they are going to build a house out back
UnpopularOpinionsGuy
Good! Maybe I'm just not a family-oriented guy, but I'd definitely lay out some protocol for when or how they can visit.

Well ok, long as they have a set departure from your house date AND aren't nosy neighbors.
GaaraOfDaFunk
They wont be nosy.

Yes please post pics of the inside. I love your house and old houses in general.

I'll have to post an update on Monday
conMan76
living at home at 27 ... jesus christ I would have murdered someone, or burnt the house down... or both.
bouncebounceandtheclaw
I moved out when I was 32. It worked for us and my son has a special connection with his grandfather because of it.
bouncebounceandtheclaw
They are extremely close and I think that closeness/bonding helped my dad through his own tough times.
GaaraOfDaFunk
Where I live the housing market is uncontrollable. If you list it it will sell. Everytime I'd find a house for sale it was twice as much 1/3
GaaraOfDaFunk
As I could afford, or it was either pending. I got lucky and the seller is a good friend of the family and offered it to me as a reserved2/3
GaaraOfDaFunk
Buyer. The day it was listed 12 people showed up at the house wanting to buy it, however I was to get first dibs at it.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
In my neighborhood, an agent was installing a for sale sign outside the house when a guy driving by stopped and made an offer above asking.
RoundThreeFIGHT
Having your parents around might be a blessing for awhile cause they can help with repairs or remodels
GaaraOfDaFunk
They have helped with some work already. My mom was a carpenter and my step dad is an HVAC guy. Both of them have experience with building
RoundThreeFIGHT
Wow that sounds perfect
GaaraOfDaFunk
And in the past 15 years I have been learning from them how to do things right.

Thank you. I'll keep everyone informed

Your house your rules. It's easy for your parents to forget that.

That’s a nice house. Looks big and peaceful.

Not disagreeing, but it kind of looks like a horror movie house.

Be a shame if someone were to RUIN that for you...
GaaraOfDaFunk
Thank you. It's very peaceful, however it's not that big, but for a single guy it's more than enough than I'll ever truly need
aBlueKite
Please post pics of the inside! Old farmhouses are beautiful. Pine floors, shiplap, old growth windows. They feel like home.
yellowtoolboxblackbag
That’s what i thought when i got my house. Then Covid hit and thank God i have all this space. Kept me from going stir crazy.
absoliutenus
That house screams midwest. Wisconsin ?
fromitalywithlove
It's unbelievable the cultural difference. In Italy any house bigger than 100sq (meters) is good for family of 3/4.
ArthurPhillipDent
As someone living in a 35 meter square single bedroom flat. That's a flippin massive hoose
Wiiil
All houses in America are huge. This would easily be classed as "big" in UK also not attached to other houses and overlooked by 12 others.
thishousesmellslikefish
Older houses can have several teeny rooms even though they look bigger. And there was a time when halls didn’t exist. Rooms were connected.
JustforKicks5350
Did it come with a nice chunk of land? I grew up in the county and my dream is to eventually build on a bunch of land out in the country.
GaaraOfDaFunk
I would have loved to buy the property a few miles away. It is a 169 acre farm... but I don't have the 1.4 million they are asking
GaaraOfDaFunk
I got 5 acres, my parents bought 15 right behind me. They plan on building on the land they bought.
JustforKicks5350
That’s a nice chunk of land though!
Elvishasnotleftthebuilding
If you moved out to get your own space how do you feel about them building right beside you?
GaaraOfDaFunk
They are building about a quarter mile behind my house (in the woods). I won't see that house. The reason I moved was to get on with my life
Steffn
I don't get it, why are they selling their home before they have a new place to stay?
GaaraOfDaFunk
They need the money from selling their house to build a new house.
Wombatish
Selling on contingency (trying to close your old house and new one at the same time) can be a problem for a lot of reasons, and can put *c*
Wombatish
*c* either half of the deal in danger, especially in markets that are highly slanted towards buyers or sellers. And if you try to buy new *c
Wombatish
c* first a lot of people won't qualify for what is technically a 2nd mortgage and/or have their full down payment. Selling first is common.
Idontlikeolives
Sometimes you put your house up early for a higher price to test the waters and then get an unbelievable offer.

Demand that they put their feet on the furniture and drink milk straight from the carton.

Yell at them for messing with the thermostat! This may be your only chance!
realscrumpysteve
I...actually had to do that once with my parents when they lost their home. They started getting entitled and I had to put my foot down.
mdiwmndioawdmw
Literally did this to my mum 4 hours ago. She was stunned that I finally flipped it around on her. Feels fucking great.
PoesCrow
In my house elbows are required on the table, if you don’t like it dad you can go to your room
Terayon
That's actually a cultural thing, I don't think it's as common anymore but in Germanic countries having your hands under the table was rude
011100000110100101100101
In my AP French class we talked about never putting your hands on your lap, but idk how much of it was BS
Shaukhan12
Yea I did this to my dad. Had to pay all the Bill's for a bit due to his injury. Came home and pulled the " I dont work all day to come home

Never deny a Bill his money.

To a messy house and no food ready on the table".. if looks could kill I'd be dead 10 years ago

That's hilarious! I'm sure the death look made it even better.

It did make it better as I made dinner for us in defeat

Is that a thing? Isn't the point to stop the ball going in? I'm not very sporty...
Brunoemf90
You can try to block the shot, but once the ball is in a descending trajectory and/or above the imaginary cilinder above the rim, no touchy.
mity0k23
Tell your dad not to touch the thermostat.

Looks haunted. Bet there's a tree where they used to hang people. Enjoy!

Thank you
mosh2mozart
If you're doing the walls, please, for the love all that is held holy, make sure that the wiring is up to code.
GaaraOfDaFunk
All brand new wiring. The Amish bought this house about 8 years ago and after they were done destroying the house they sold it to 1/3
GaaraOfDaFunk
The friend of the family. There friend is a super safety freak and had a licensed electrician replace all the wiring that the Amish 2/3

Didn't remove. So everything is brand new and professionally done.
mosh2mozart
Awesome. I grew up in a farming community and my dad was on the volunteer fire department. He said most of the fires in old houses were 1/
mosh2mozart
Caused by faulty wiring that wasn't up to code when it was installed in the 40s and 50s...

Monday photos will be posted.
bladderinfection
Your place, your rules! No drinking, smoking, TV, internet, visitors or sex. Lights out & quiet time at 8:45. See how long they stay ;)
itsawful
or, you know, they could all just be pleasant to each other and live as loving nice people together.
iRateYourDick
Thats almost certainly what will happen. And the parents will just buy the house and they keep their baby. Kidding kidding i hope it works
theoutdoorrageous
Yess do this! ?
RumbleNtheJungle
Except parents have 18+ years of banging and partying without kids finding out so they’ll just be sneakier
heywhyareallthebestnamestaken
Sounds like my house now.....
Preincarnated
Or they HAVE to drink & have sex at least twice a day. Lights may NEVER be turned off. One must sing rap classics anytime water is running.
bladderinfection
Setup a bunch of cameras and Livestream to pay off the mortgage in no time!

The smoking thing: I had to tell my dad to go outside to smoke when I got my first place. If my wife goes out to smoke, he does too.
bladderinfection
An older coworker was at a party and was shocked when people were smoking pot inside & they asked him to go outside with his cigarette.
bladderinfection
I was laughing on the inside, thinking yeah, that’s the rule for me & my friends too.
kmikl
If that were my place when I got it, I'd tell them to just plain leave. I get drug tested for work, so even incidental exposure is a hassle.
GaaraOfDaFunk
They will be paying a good chunk of my monthly mortgage.
ModernDayBabaYaga
Do you think they would like Oregon?
ToastDNA
In that case I could put up with a lot for a long while.
iRateYourDick
Ha! Even more reason you should have said no. Hope they dont hold that over your head. "Ypu didnt actually move out we helped you."
kmikl
Just my advice: don't let that become a permanent arrangement.
Scar1203
Changes the rules a bit eh? I am living at home but pay half the expenses, no rules in this house lol.
iRateYourDick
No im kidding all around. Congrats on the big life event and im sure your parents are quite proud.
pomery
Then why buy a house? did you always intend to have them move in?
cagedbirdlives
Well then, welcome parents!

Yeah for real!

I recant my previous statement of doing the previous thing, welcomes ur wealthy parents ha
Mustakraklsh
That's how rent works
MindOverMatt
Still pay what you normally would on top of that and guess what your house will be paid off quicker.

Make sure you have the lender apply additional payments to principal instead of future payments
ybareb12
I did not know this, thanks
ToastDNA
Ot put the difference into a high yield retirement account. 2 or 3٪ on house loan vs 6 to 10٪ on retirement interest.
Mairoa
Yes! I work for a mortgage broker and ALL her properties are on loans. The extra $, in a safe investment, will yield more over time
BeatsBearsBattlestarGallactica
If you’re in the us though paying a housing loan off earlier than expected can tank your credit FYI. But if you own a house what do you need
BeatsBearsBattlestarGallactica
Credit for anymore
DuckSick
A car, a computer, healthcare... hookers and black jack
UnpinionedPoplars
Not really. Good accounts go away when paid off, but that won't tank your credit. @OP, do your research; you'll probably save thousands.
UnpinionedPoplars
And do research it. Just one example: you may have to expressly tell the lender to apply each extra payment to the principal.
CorrectMostOfTheTime
Why does it tank to pay off bills/loans early
Cr4zyC4tLady
Every month you have a high amount of loans, and you pay those on time, your credit will increase (as long as you don’t use over 30% of 1/
ronlybonly
I, too, want to know the answer to this. I have never heard it before, and am paying my house off way early.
upfr0mhere
Because fuck everybody who isn't already a billionaire
BeatsBearsBattlestarGallactica
Part of it is lenders want to see a variety of loans so when you close one early they don’t have as much data as they would want so it can>
UnpinionedPoplars
Good, old accounts = good credit. Good, old account paid off = irrelevant. Then you only have your other accounts (which should be good).
Kellili
To keep us down, man.

Looks to be out on the country. Quite a bit cheaper than the same house in the suburbs. But still, yeah, big house.

Nothing special, just a huge ass house :(

Nothing special, just a huge house with lots of land that I bought at 27...

And now that slow slog to 57 years old when the loan might be paid off if you don't have to pick up a loan to fix something cause it's old
reload2456
If he's lucky he might own that house by the time he's like 65. Not as bad as renting but not all it's cracked up to be either.
Frostbreaker1
Yes he's building equity and can do whatever he wants. And if he needs an emergency big purchase he can re mortgage. To say nothing of
Frostbreaker1
2/selling it for a huge profit if he fixes it up. He's not in a mortgage for decades if he sells in 5 years for 30% more than he paid for it
