Waiting Game

The whole getting ready to close process is a pain! It drags on forever. We got the title report and it turns out the owner owes the Department of Sanitation over $8,000 in fines for their dirty, disgusting yard! (The ironic thing is we asked if we could clean it up before the closing because we wanted to do it before it got really cold. All we wanted in return was the fee for the container IF (and only if) for some reason we didn't close.) Now we have to wait around some more for them to try to pay these fines or get the reduced or something. I just want to be in the house already! It's bad enough we won't be living there right away. (Now I'm whining)
