Going to contract tonight!!!
They came through! They gave us the full 4,500 electrical credit and have already made several other unrelated repairs. AND, it's been monsooning here, so I had the REA let me in so I could check the roof and windows for any leaks, and the house was completely dry. So tonight, when DH gets home and I'm done with lessons, we're meeting up at my dad's office (he's our lawyer) and we're going to contract on the house! EEEEE!!! The thought of writing such a huge check (about 5%) for escrow makes me want to barf, and I can't imagine how I'm going to feel at closing between putting down another 35% and closing costs, but I'm so excited!!! The rates by us at TFCU (teacher's federal credit union) just dropped to 4.250 if you qualify for the rate, and we do - so away we go!!!

RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.

I am a gluten-free, gun-toting wife! :P
I love you, Daddy...2/24/1953 to 2/13/2011
congrats!!!
Hope everything goes smoothly!!
And 5% escrow seems like a big chunk of change! I know in the city (Chicago) it was double what we had to pay in the suburbs (and a different county), but I don't think either were 5%.
Around here, normal is 10%, and my dad negotiated it down.
Thanks everyone! We're excited.

Everyone welcome.
CONGRATS!!!!!! I'm so happy it all worked out for you and you got the house you wanted!!! And you got an awesome interest rate!
I think at closing you'll be so excited about your new home and getting the key and moving in that you won't even think about the size of the check.
