Congrats on being approved, and don't worry about your topic not being archery-based, that's why there's an Off-topic forum.:cool:

made a offer on this house today.http://www.freeportlandforeclosures....1/mlsname/RMLS
its not as big as i was wanting but this is a house i can put little money into and resale for around 220k.and it is 56 seconds from my work

Nice looking place. I know you are good with metal ones, but how about shooting at wooden fences. ;)

congrats! my credit score is 797, but i have a unique job history. love those sheds even a tree stand situation a bit jealous. good luck, i just got that not so unique job(i thought i wanted to think outside the box)
the bankers like so in due time:(;) if that makes any sense?

Very nice GD. Glad you got yourself a loan and potential home.

makes perfect sence.my score was in the 700's but paid every thing off and droped it to 0 about 3 years agos.now im at 621 and my wife is 628.if i dident have my job for almost 10 years then i dont think it would have happend.and im getting 3.75% intress,fixed on a 30yr.im just waiting to see if they take my offer.gave them till march 1st.

the thing with this house is there is a $9000 lean against it from dudes ex wife so she has to drop the lean in order to sell.it has been on the market fro a year so i am hopeing she does drop it.

not the house i really wanted but this place is worth a bit over 200,000 as it sits so it should have great re sale once i put 15-20k in it.if i get it.
