Happy 2010! It's been a while because I was on a long, and judging from some prior posts much-needed, vacation. Now that I'm back in the saddle before I head off into the wild blue rehab yonder, let me take stock of where I stand: 2 houses purchased, no construction started (sigh); 1 house completed and on the market for six months (bigger sigh); 3 houses under contract and scheduled to close this week, but without the County approvals, it's not looking good (exasperated rolled eyes + big sigh).
At the office on Monday morning I find extensions on 2 of the closings scheduled for this week (yay!) and one very p.o'ed sales agent for the third (sorry dude, government stuff takes longer). Still, the p.o'ed agent is well within his rights - we've extended the closing twice. Now I find myself contacting everyone I can find trying to get his house closed in 3 days. Hee!! Three days! It's so preposterous that it makes me laugh. But, save the day - when I made the request to my lender (the cool one, not that one makes me want to tear my hair out) he did not shoot me down immediately. As long as the chain of title is clean, he should be able to fund and I should be able to close and be a hero -- or at least less of a heel for taking so long to get to closing.
I'm excited about this house. It is conveniently located, has a brick facade and is on a street with other well-kept houses. And it's less than $100K! Check it out:
The entry way!
I spy a fireplace...
The master bedroom. Ooh la la, the ceiling:
Nice kitchen:
And of course, to me the best thing about this house is the next door neighbor's monster-sized mum!! GORGEOUS, people!
