So, I borrowed $15k from my roommate for earnest money to secure the property, advanced another $15k or so from my credit cards to cover points and closing costs, and advanced another $20k buffer (using 0% interest promotions on the cards -- I also had perfect credit), and bought it and celebrated.I had a contractor lined up that was a referral by my realtor, who had sold me my own home.

There are many technologies that make self managing very different than 10 years ago.Krishna.

Thanks in advance!

This was still a couple of months in advance of a possible move-in date.  

So maybe your sale gets overturned due to the fact that it should have been stayed / postponed.But these are the sorts of things that YOU should have identified BEFORE you placed your bid at that TCB sale; if you don't have all the answers at hand in advance, you put your money at risk.

Thank you in advance. 

Thanks in advance for the input!

Thanks in advance! 

Agree that I need to have a plan well in advance.

Haven't had any luck calling around and would greatly appreciate any referrals.Thanks in advance!
