Looking forward to connecting.Respectfully,Thomas Paine

I've done it before and believe me, there is nothing but pain for all involved when the deal doesn't work out.

Yet, take a look around and you don't see many cranes i.e. apartment new construction, creating increased demand on a limited housing stock...no "relief" in sight.

However, the sales history is what confuses me a little, because the title is in the hands of a trustee, and I'm not sure if the home was being sold by the trustee to repay a debt, or if the out of state owner is trying to rent it out for financial relief.

Ultimately the appraiser turned this down and stuck by his original valuation.I ended up accepting this as this was the price that I had budgeted and I was worried of wasted time for a similar appraisal later on but this was still a huge pain regardless.  

We have a relief of stay for our item in the bankruptcy and will mostly likely try and beat the first to foreclosure.

The current process is a bit of a pain with little reward until the end, I kind of think that it would be nice to recognize leaping some of the many hurdles we are currently required to set out.This is a really rough draft, but as a bunch of people who have previously gotten mortgages I wanted the community's feedback on this set of proposed Achievements to Unlock while in the process of buying a property.Imagine animated giant green check-boxes or thumbs up appearing as you complete each one:Preapproval Process StartedAsset Package SubmittedIncome Package SubmittedCredit Package SubmittedInvestment Property Package SubmittedE-consent to e-Disclosures SubmittedLO PreapprovalUnderwriter PreapprovalContract RatifiedE-Disclosures SignedAsset/Income/Credit Package UpdatedEarnest Money Deposit DocumentedAppraisal OrderedHomeowner's Insurance SubmittedLoan Conditionally ApprovedApproval Conditions SubmittedSatisfactory Appraisal Rec'dFinal Loan Estimate SignedClosing Disclosure SignedCleared to CloseDocs in TitleCash-to-Close Sent to TitleFunding Conditions SubmittedLoan FundedAmerican Dream UnlockedI know that they aren't in the order that might be preferred by the consumer ("why can't I just do those first 10 all in a single setting?")

It was a pain until I hooked up to City Water for around $1500.

Ants in your pants impatience has caused much pain in this business.
