You sold at the right time. Congrats

Correct, I get that. But what I’m saying is if there is a financing contingency and the higher rate puts them over what they can borrow, they can walk. I think I overthink the process. You know I was worried about my sale, going over every possible poor outcome scenario ?

Nothing worse than buying/selling/moving logistics. Stressful.

Do they have a financing contingency? If so I would think the addendum means nothing.

Check should be made out to the title company so I don’t see how.

Who was holding the check? This seems weird

I’d bet the real estate test is multiple choice ?

Yeah I get my house would be worth more in indiana, Tennessee forget it ?. Higher taxes mean house worth less to compensate since most just looking at bottom line payment. Hell my Tennessee house taxes are less per year than my Illinois house is a month. Really my point was there is a frenzy...

My house is nicer than this, one town over about 5 miles away that has lower taxes, and it’s still ridiculous.

Truth about Tennessee, seems houses are going up at the rate of about 10k a month right now. We got lucky and closed on our Tennessee house. I contacted a realtor just to get a feel for our Illinois house, and he said be prepared for lots of lookers. He suggested an open house so you have most...

Don’t give up. You will find something. When we were looking in Tennessee, we were looking in about a 60 mile radius. The house we were going to buy had a contract put on it the night before we had an appointment to look at it. Sight unseen. We looked at so many places ?. One house came up for...

I didn’t read into any battles or flexing myself. Just some differing opinions on what is important to the individual. There’s no wrong answer, it’s what you want out of life. The house is cool for sure, but for 800k in an actual decent state (politically, climate,etc) you could get so much...

Must be by bank like you say. I always thought over 20% down you can go conventional and do what you want. The thought of letting the bank hold thousands of your money a year at no interest is not appealing to me

Must have missed those posts??

Only if you escrow. If you don’t escrow, your credit report will only reflect P&I payment

Case in point. Illinois. Chicago public school system in particular

My old balls advice: Don’t spend the extra 100k you don’t have. That’s 20k in your savings account after only 5 years. That is only talking into account the 300/mo not the increased taxes, interest costs, maintenance costs, insurance costs, heating costs, etc. you won’t care if you didn’t have...

I wouldn’t classify it in the “not bad” category myself. We are definitely on different tiers of the totem pole. No way I could afford a place like that. Pretty cool place though I guess.

It’s listed on the link. 10,235 before sale

Can’t sign and drive on a 550 score? Don’t you just up the interest?
