Stupid Mortgages!!
I guess in the mortgage business it's a-okay to say one thing and then do another.
We're rarin' to go, to hurry up and get into our new house before we trek to Mr. Mouse's house on the 16th. We also have the added weight of having to be out of our current home by the 12th. So we go to sign papers today on the sale of our home, and BOOM!!! Big speed bump. They got the commissions all wrong and there is the matter of a $4,280 excise tax that our mortgage company failed to mention. So we're looking at the total of what we're making from the sale of our house and it's barely cutting the mustard. We were told we would have the amount we needed down and ten grand in our pockets. Now it's looking like we will have more like three grand, which is enough to cover the taxes and insurance for the first year and a half and then maybe do all of the things needed, like replace the water heater and fix a sink, etc. We were hoping so much to have the money to get all projects out of the way and indulge in new lighting fixtures, finish the down stairs bathroom and all that. But now we're not sure. So here we hang in limbo and we're just waiting to see the light!!
Oh, there's the phone call from the title people...it's not as bad as we thought, but we're still not getting about $5000. Great. Well, we have a new home and I guess that is what is important.
