As the sign hanging in my mother's kitchen said "It's too late to agree with me now, I've changed my mind".

Good news. The seller gave in... well more like his dad (who technically owns the house) pretty much said WTF to him plus my agent went extra mile to get thing smooth. We are under contract! Now, I need to get the house inspection (Monday) & appraisal done next week! By then hopefully we've loan approved! Wish us luck! Cuz def I need it. Baby is due <2wks. House closing is March 12th. Very close together.

If it was me, I honestly would not have considered my own driving technique if I had a failure like the OP's and nobody mentioned it. ermax's response was perfect and very informative considering I do tend to underblip my downshifts.

It just wasn't what some people wanted to hear or think about since the answer for them is always to change parts.

I roll just like rice does, or at least I try to for that very reason. Ermax is excellent at the in-depth descriptions. I have my flashes but it takes me an hour of do-overs for a single paragraph when I feel it's important to get it just right. Was relieved to see the better writers chime in.

Closing is due March 12th, but we won’t move in til April 1st. Giving tenant/renter 30 days to move out. Good news is, renter will pay 13th~31st ($75/day) rent to me. So that’ll help get some money back. Plus we don’t want to over stress ourselves in mid/end March. At least April baby should be born by then giving us lil less stress.

Don't shatter his optimism. He needs it.

Make sure that your homeowners insurance coverage starts on the day of closing (recording). Also, you may wish to mention to your insurance agent that your property will NOT be owner occupied for a couple of weeks. |
