Sorry for the late update!! Closed on July 2nd, 2014!!!!!! It's finally over!!!! Now the fun begins. So, since we want to paint and put floors down, I decided to ask for an increase on my HD card. Of course it was a hard pull, but well worth it. Credit limit went from $2000 to $8800. I asked for a $6000 increase! Time to go shopping!
We decided to also apply for a Rooms to Go card since we want some new furniture. Approved for $8000.00.
A am definately ready to go shopping!!
Best of wished to everyone still going through the process!
Congrats to everyone who has already closed!!

All this after I had made an offer on another house that was accepted, but after the inspection it needed too many repairs for me--a new roof among other things, so I cancelled that contract. This process has been fairly easy, but stressful nonetheless. I have partial retirement annuity income, partial part-time employment from a school district that cannot be used since I have only been working there one year, and self-employment income for the last 2 1/2 years where I am an independent contractor with another school district. They have asked for a lot of documentation regarding my self-employment like the last 2 years of income tax returns with all schedules, a year to date profit and loss statement and a balance sheet which I didn't even know what these were until this process, but so far everything is o.k. I think, but I don't have a name for my business, I just turn in an invoice each month with my name and address and they cut me a check. Hopefully everything will go smoothly until we close on July 31!
Sounds great!
I use waveapps.com for my self-employment. You can print off any reports needed, for free! This came in handy when my first lender, who bombed my first loan, asked for my balance sheet and other docs.
A few updates and a Clear to CLOSE!!!!
