mimesereahahahaha so the saga of home ownership continues on its wacky little way.
Property #1: the place that is approved! yay! Also the place where the escrow company is trying to jerk us around with costs! boo! luckily, our real estate lady is kind of scary and is a) talking them out of charging 2 or 3 times what the normal escrow rates are and/or b) pricing other escrow companies and/or c) going to tell these people go jump off a cliff. Which is good in certain ways, as she is looking out for us, and bad in others, as in this is very very stressful. This property also needs a fair amount of work, none of which I have money for.
Property #2: the place that we first fell in love with, put in 2 offers on, both of which we were the second best offer. It requires no work at ALL, has upgraded flooring and a nice kitchen. Downside is that they have some person we have to be prequalified through, which has apparently jacked the first two offers they had. We, of course, put in an offer on it, because it would be about the same price but requires no work at all. And it's in a better location.
I'm going a little crazy. But here's hoping. Tonight I'm packing dvds! And possibly some cables and stuff.
Also wtf, SoCal, whither the rain and the freezing temperatures?
