The House

So we did it. I found out I could qualify for a home loan and took the leap. The loan was approved within a couple of days after making the decision to buy. It was really fast. Next was the process of FINDING the right house. We'd been told to stay away from Short Sales but of course that's not exactly how it all went down. About 2 months ago, Tami and I went house gazing on a Saturday with our Realtor, Maya, and lo and behold... WHAM. We found the "perfect" house that had RV parking! It was, unfortunately, a short sale but the couple in the house was very cool and had just put it up for sale.

That very day, we made an offer on the house. Now the wait started for the bank to approve it. To our surprise, Chase accepted the offer within 30 days and gave us a whopping 28 days to close. So far, so good... right?!

Well, now the drama starts. We were supposed to close on or before October 21st and it's October 19 today. The lender had a couple of "issues" and they had to request an extension on closing. So here it is, 2 days before and I have no clue if the bank will accept the extension offer or not... OR... if the loan docs are being completed. ArrrGGhhh!!!

I knew it was going too smooth!
