Closing day came and went...

So we were going to close on the 10th, right? The seller's bank wanted to do this quickly, so they suggested October 10th. Eh, not so much...

It seems as you may already guess that we (the buyers) are the only ones interested in closing this deal with any speed. And by speed I mean we began this in May of this year! I think the banks/agents etc. could let this drag on indefinitely, it's only money.

We finally got the go ahead to get our inspector in the home for Monday. We also had a "pest" guy inspect for infestations, wood rot etc. Everything went fine (a few minor things to watch for in the future), overall the house inspected really well. So we can still make it to closing on the 17th, right? We can close on Friday and spend the weekend cleaning and painting! Nope!

Funny thing about seeing the home mostly empty and almostly yours, you start adding up everything that you and only you will spend in the future! Apparently this house does not come with a landlord to call!

Our bank has completed their appraisal/survey and shipped it off. I will say that our bank has really been pushing to get all this done and has been a great help. The title company does not seem motivated enough to pluck a fax or or whatever it is that they do (or not)...
