Jake I suggest weighing your options. Its your money. You can get a feel for where the market stands right now and if the house your looking at is a good investment. Have it inspected, and if things sound good, go for it. Just dont get new house shocked and jump into anything. Use an inspector with a good reputation. Not someone who knows a guy who met someone once. You need someone who knows what they are doing and looking for. Dont penny pinch and go with someone off craigslist trading his services as an inspector for a case of natty light.

Oh I thought you said he was your uncle. Do you know if Carlo lives or lived up on africa? The name sounds familiar. I am trying to run down through all the guys I have known over the years. Does the name kennedy mean anything LJ?

Did you say carlo was your uncle?

Did your uncle live up off africa road?

Whats his companies name?

MI homes 30 years ago when they were starting out made very good quality homes. MI "custom" homes are very good homes. MI mass building homes of the last decade are for the most part decent homes. However what I personally choose to spend my money on is not necessarily decent. I have been called out to fix many many issues on houses where sub contractors, and this is key, were used during the big housing boom to build these houses. I could take sub contractors who do terrible work and put them into a house that would pass inspections. 5 years later there may not be a problem. Quality work? Or as with most terrible sub contractors, the material quality has allowed for little issue. But that only lasts so long then things start popping up. Only know it looks like its a material issue when in fact the material was installed incorrectly. I have been on hundreds of MI homesites. Years ago I knew alot subs for all the homebuilders on a first name basis. It was a running joke with alot of guys what they could get away with and still get paid. I suggest buying a home utilizing the expertise of a quality home inspector, a knowledgable realtor who has your best interest in mind and by talking to as many neighbors as possible before buying. Make a day of it and ask people what they think. But theres no substitute for common sense. If it doesnt look or feel righ, chances are its not.

I wouldnt buy from any builder listed in this thread, besides fisher which I have never heard of. I have done work for all the builders listed(minus fisher), and almost every other major builder in this area. With that being said, I would build a custom home where you work with the builder to get the house you want. The values of the neighborhoods in which these companies some of which are no longer in business, has dramatically gone down hill and will continue to do so. You have to look at your house as the biggest investment you will own. What do you want from your investment? A 100% return on your investment, perhaps 150%. Nowadays alot of people are happy with an 80% return. I like my investments to increase in value. So I would either buy a house where I couldnt help but make money on because it was so cheap or one that will increase in value. Look at market trends in the areas you are wanting. Stay away from the builders who built "stick" houses. They aremoney pits and the quality is horrible.

Nice pics. when you going to show me how to use my POS camera? Oh and your daughter looks very tiny.

I will be in canada in less than a week.
