I'm so excited to be able to post in this thread, its been such a tough 6 months to get here, and man hurdles in the loan process but I finally got my clear to close today. I started off 6 months ago with a 600 credit score and already have an FHA loan on my condo. I was able to secure this house with including my condo in the DTI. It doesn't seem like much, but with my newborn here I am proud to put my wife and daughter in a good neighborhood in a great home.

YES, thank you so much!!
Got our appraisal in the mail, somewhat unexpectedly. I hadn't expected it until later this week, so it was a... uh... "pleasant" surprise when it arrived early.
We opened it a bit shakily, since our friends just moved into the same community a few weeks before us. Their house (new construction) appraised $30K less than their contract price, and it took two weeks, a storage unit, and bunking up with neighbors to get it all straightened out. Ever since that, we've been terrified at what our appraisal might be, since they bought a home that was midway through construction and didn't have the opportunity to add as many options as we did.
Huge sigh of relief when we saw that our house had appraised for $20 more than our contract price.... if you haven't gone through this yet, I can't tell you how awesome that feels.
We sign off on the home completion on Oct. 15, and close on October 22nd. Hopefully smooth sailing from here on out--our first home!

Hi everybody,
I closed on a townhome yesterday. The purchase took about 2.5 months because I switched banks in the middle of the process because the original bank changed the terms of the loan and I knew I was qualified for a better deal.
It was stressful, but I think I made the right choice in the end.
I ended up doing a 30 year conventional loan fixed at 3.5% (no points). The information and updates on these threads were very encouraging and helpful.
Congratulations to everyone else that has closed and good luck to those working towards closing.
