Crashing California

This morning we got this email, and then promptly were contacted by escrow to go down to the office and sign our lives away to the bank (well, for 30 years and 250,000 worth) ... Now we just wait for the property to get "funded" (by the bank) and then "recorded", at which point our realtor calls us and gives us keys (!!) Aparently this could be as early as tomorrow, but we won't know, till we know. It's been a whirl wind and I have been so busy, stressed about this situation, freelance blowing up left right and center, AND to boot, I am PMSing ... but it's almost over =) and I am thankful. Wanted to share quick ~ Till Next Blog! ~ love, a.

I was under the impression that when you buy a condo, that you don't actually get "land" per say ... more like just the house on top so it's kind of "not-real" real estate. However, I am mistaken I think, or at least at bit mistaken in California. (unless, I don't really understand stuff, which could well be the case) So a quick update on the house situation,  this week was packed: we had the inspection on Monday, crazy bank stuff on Tues and Wed.  A plethora a papers and paperwork come in on Wed and Thursday, AND the appraisal results on Friday. The inspection went very well, there were some small issues but nothing major. The biggest thing was that our inspector thought our furnace might have been on recall, but the model and serial number checked out, so we only have some small things to take care of to make our little house A-O-K.  Getting papers together for the bank proved to be pretty stressful for me. I literally had to go through 10 years ...
