Consider yourself lucky that you're inside your comfort bubble however....I just bought a home this weekend and my list is as follows starting today at 9am.
Schedule my home inspection, and verify schedules with the realtor, inspector, and myself.
Write and drop earnest money check at the realtor's office one hour from my workplace
Finalize pre-approval with the bank....verifying w-2's, 2016 taxes, paystubs, employment history, and submit completed offer after it arrives from the realitor
Attend home inspection after working 10 hour shift
Verify bank authorized appraisal
....and then after that's done more paperwork....a LOT, LOT more paperwork actually.
EVERYTHING in the process is on tight deadlines as well.....
All in all, the two new extra bedrooms I'm attaining will be GREAT breeding rooms. I'm pricing out freedom breeder racks as well
