I've posted here a few times in the past, and lurk on a daily basis. The wife and I are interested in the FSP, and NH is really the only palatable state for me in the north east that I can live in.
Yesterday we gave a low ball offer on a house in Central/Northern NH, and it seems like the owners are ready to dump it. The broker got back to us today and said to put it in writing and that an inspection would best be done in spring time.
This house originally was listed at $699K and we offered $300K.
House is built in 2004, ~4000sq/ft on about 75 acres bordering the National Forest. TONS of water and trees, something we lack in Colorado, and the west in general.
Now this is taking me by surprise as I figured that we'd be laughed at with that offer, and I'm really skeptical about NH in general, given the severe political swing in the last 2 election cycles. I love the FSP idea, and have heard of it's progress, but still have my fears of certain things in NH, and the north east in general like:
-LONG and COLD winters.
-Seems to becoming more Liberal judging by the last 2 election cycles.
What to do...
