Apparently purchasing a house is stressful whether you will live in it or not. For whatever reason, I am shaking in my boots over closing tomorrow. There are so many unknowns and the "knowns" are daunting all by themselves!
The fifty year old house has a lot of things wrong with it, and while many people would just leave a lot of it because it is "just a rental property," I think asking someone to live there with hazards would be a greater liability than I want to take on. So, we will do what we can to fix it with the resources available to us, and hope for the best.
The resources have dwindled thanks to the tax man, and even more so since I found a $1,500 error (in their favor) on the return. Fortunately the return had not been filed yet so we were able to fix it.
This morning I had a bit of a melt down, which is not my usual style at all. Hopefully all will turn out well, and perhaps I just need to focus on the positive and forget all the potential hazards! Meanwhile, our agent is looking into adding a homeowner warranty policy to our contract and we have a walk through this evening.
