Where was I?
Oh, right, closing on the new house.
So that was done…I guess it’s been about 2 and a half weeks now.
Of course it couldn’t go off without a hitch now could it? Of course not! The bank forgot to credit us back our Good Faith Loan Application Deposit. Then when we noticed it and called about it they hemmed and hawed and finally said they woudl look into it. A week later when we still hadn’t heard anything and I asked about it again, I was told it wodul have to go to the manger and she was out of her office for the day. THat’s when I got a bit pissy and asked why it hadn’t been taken to a manger in teh WEEK that they were aware of it? The money was credit back to us the next day. Yeah, that’s what I thought.
I did my 3rd MS 150. That was so much fun. It was a 9 hour drive from here to New Bern. This was right in teh middle of the Hurricane Ike, no one has any gas weekend too. Good times!
But really, it was a great time. I forgot how much I loved these people. It was a great weekend, but next year, I fly. The drive home was a killer.
Here’s a few pics from the ride.
Feel like I should post something, but not sure what
You know how they say, anything worth having is worth fighting for? Well, I better have 10 glorious deliciously blissful years in this house. I’ve been fighting for it since March.
Our house in NC finally closed. And the clouds parted and the angels sang, and it was good.
Until it wasn’t.
We were supposed to close on this house on Aug 29th. On Aug 25th I got an email from my loan processor saying that he was being transfered and our loan was going to someone new. What?? We are supposed to be going into underwriting and we are passed off to someone else???
I had a couple of items I needed to send in and no one to send them too. Finally got through to the new person and there was one last thing she needed. Closing was pushed to this Friday but only if she got that last item by close of business on Friday (29th) well, my husband had that, and he was on a plane. He managed to fax it in by 4pm, our time, which was 3pm thier time. Only they were closed. No one told us they were closing early. Then we went into a holiday weekend and all we could do was wait.
Tuesday morning I shot off an email asking if they got the info and were we stood now. We were in underwriting, should know somethig by the end of the day.
End of the day – underwriting needs more verification from employer. Thesame information they have already recieved but couldnt understand. Why isn’t perdiem pay showing on the W2? Because it’s not taxable. You know it’s bad when the CFO of your company says that your loan processor is stupid. But I digress
Next we needed a Power Of Attorney. It’s just impossible for my husband to tale time off when he is in DC and our closing date keeps getting changed. So, I have his POA and get to sign for this thing all by myself (that means its really and truely my house, right)
Yesterday we went back to underwriting with the assurance that we had jumped through enough hoops and that it would come back in the morning “fully approved”. We’re on the schedule for Friday at 1pm.
So now we wait…..
