Suggestion: bring EVERYTHING you ever sent the mortgage company: tax returns, credit card bills, EVERYTHING. And then add to that pile the stuff they didn't ask for: more credit card bills, loans, whatever. Treat it like an IRS audit. Chances are someone there will ask a question like: "Why doesn't this balance show up on such a such form, and can we see the statements for that account?" They did at my closing. We didn't know for sure whether we actually owned the house until FIVE HOURS after we signed the papers. :-P Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

True cruelty would be failing to warn you of this, then laughing maniacally afterwards while capering about, chortling out, "I could have told you so! I could have told you so!" Be glad I don't care to dance about the belittlement bush. ;-) Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

I have spent the last hour rocking back in forth in my cube. It's very comforting. I'm not entirely sure that I'll ever stop.

They're at the house." "EXCUSE ME???" "The keys are never brought to a closing, they're at the house, hidden, so you can get them AFTER you take possession. I kid you not. So we close, go to the house as darkness is falling, look for the keys which we were told are hidden within the circuit breaker box for the A/C units, and find that THEY'RE NOT THERE. Go to a local grocery store to use the payphone to call our buyer's agent, who comes over with a flashlight, confirms that we have no keys, calls the listing agent at his home to bitch him out, only to get his answering machine, and lets us in with her pass key. TWO DAYS later, the listing agent calls our buyer's agent back, gives a shitload of excuses, then sends a locksmith over to rekey the house, WHICH WE PAID FOR AS PART OF THE CLOSING (it was hidden in a small paragraph on one page of the stack of papers we signed.) This was supposed to have been done BEFORE the closing, but wasn't. We owned a house but almost couldn't get into it for 2 days. Incredible. lincoln "Four score and seven years ago, I had a better sig" [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/resume.htm\|VB/SQL resume] [link\|http://users3.ev1.net/~bconnors/tandem_resume.htm\|Tandem resume] [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]
