I know a guy who had a similar situation, and his stuff was mostly already in boxes. Ugh. they finally worked out a way to get his debt ratio down a tad so that he could get the right loan amount. I hope they crunch numbers enough for you to get the loan through or you find an even nicer place. :-)<br />Best,<br />Debdebi o'neillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326849099713939434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-48670610358543450272015-06-01T20:27:00.644-05:002015-06-01T20:27:00.644-05:00Well, since it's now June, you should finally ...Well, since it's now June, you should finally be experiencing warm weather.

Apologies for my late arrival,...Greetings Michael,<br /><br />Apologies for my late arrival, only to read that bit of a downer for you at the beginning.<br /><br />Yet, you, good sir, dust yourself off and keep going. Other chances will come your way and you shall make it so.<br /><br />A client is a total delight is part of the balance. The balance of your positive attitude that the road has potholes. With each pothole, you climb out and enjoy the journey even more.<br /><br />Bask in the ambience of the renewal, the rebirth that is the spring in the Northern Hemisphere.<br /><br />A thoughtful articulation, my kind friend.<br /><br />Hugs and hope, your way,<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-79852256465562869682015-05-12T08:43:28.823-05:002015-05-12T08:43:28.823-05:00Oh, Michael, I just now saw this post - I'm so...Oh, Michael, I just now saw this post - I'm so sorry! I hope I didn't post anything about your move or remodeling AFTER this. <br /><br />I have a friend who is a hugely successful realtor. We've been thinking about selling our place and had many questions and concerns. Nothing about my place is normal. It used to be a barn that was converted to a home, stone faced, etc. <br /><br />She said, simply, "If it's meant to be, it will happen. Things will fall into place. If not, walk on to the next thing - the thing that happens easily. That is the place for you."<br /><br />God bless, dear - I hope the place for you, wherever it may be, is waiting for you to make it a wonderful home for years to come.Cherdohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264612202714933480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-29248881158658950062015-05-12T08:07:54.087-05:002015-05-12T08:07:54.087-05:00Oh no!

If there is nothing we can do to change it, we have to let it go. <br /><br />Speaking of springy steps- I have spent the last few years so absorbed in writing stories that my house and self have suffered a little. I've decided I have to set times and do what I can online and in word. That way I have more time for the physical world around me. So, I will use your tips! <br /><br />Fingers crossed that things work out with the house!Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-85913684545866718802015-05-12T06:45:46.781-05:002015-05-12T06:45:46.781-05:00Too bad about that, but stay hopeful, and best wis...Too bad about that, but stay hopeful, and best wishes!

We were pre-qualified but I can easily imagine how a mistake could be made during that process. The guy just took all our numbers down over the phone, then came back with a range in which we could safely qualify. The whole process of buying a home is a LOT of work.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002113089297135210.post-20621692384659536402015-05-10T03:31:46.971-05:002015-05-10T03:31:46.971-05:00Argh, that sucks!
