Closing Thursday. Wish me well.

Buying a home is a pain the butt. The excitement, the chase, the frustration of being rejected or lost to another seller, etc... Those cash only investors made it all the worse. They get to skip the appraisal process and close early. Did you get your inspection done beforehand? The roof can be troublesome if it is an older home, as well as the wiring, piping, etc. The cosmetic stuff can come later and some buyers would try to cover the problems up by wowing the seller with its remodeled kitchen and bathrooms (which are still nice to have but don't let it distract you).

If I could do it again, I would remodel my new home before moving in, like changing out the flooring or painting the walls. Once moved in, and you have animals, it may not be as easy to do.

Anyways, good luck and fingers crossed. It is a beautiful home.
