27. Actually, you sound just like the friend my parents would want me to have!

I am going to print this post and keep it in our house hunting paperwork. The areas we've been looking into are all off of a main, but small highway. On Tuesday, she shut down our HOV lanes permanently to start widening the highway for about a 35 mile stretch. I think property values in the adjacent areas will go up soon, now that it will be easier to commute.

I never thought if looking into the tax accessor or planning/zoning offices. Thank you so much for the heads up. Lol we ended up in our current apartment because this is the only area for miles that does not have any sex offenders. We were horrified when we decided to move to this area and saw red flags all over the map, except in this one but if space. We'll have to start that again.

You crack me up with your knowledge. I am so ready to start researching the nuances if home ownership. And the SoCal residents were genius. There are quite a few houses in Tulsa that don't have steps out front, but now I have to ask my grandma if she knows why that is.

If you ever get time or a hankering, I think you could write a bad-ass book on tips and tricks for prospective homeowners. I'd surely buy it!

While I'm sorry your pipe got clogged, I am so happy to have met you. And to think, I had almost talked myself into going to bed before getting in DU. Glad I had trouble sleeping that night.
