Thanks for the good luck charm! You are right although I may want this house I should take on the thought as you, something else will come along if this house is not for me. I think a short sale is very stressfull. Keep in mind this is my first house...so I am extra sensitive! I kinda wished I would have waited, I too think I could have gotten a better deal but I was rushing to be under contract by April 30! Its never good to rush and buy anything, its like going to the grocery store hungry.
