Wow, wally101, that is a long time to be under contract!  Congratulations on finally getting through that part.  I am sure your time until closing will fly by now.

Yeah...it took forever to get the short sale approval letter from the bank!

Congrats to everyone closing and already closed!

 

Update for us: File back from underwriting. We are good to close. Set up final walk through for 1/26, and close at 8am the 28th. Had to take in proof of savings deposits, and that was the only condition given by the UW. Appraisal came in right at 240K. So barring any major complications I think we are all set! Yay!!

I'm so excited to finally post here!!!
